What the hell makes you think I am a DNA fanboy? I have many mods, including DNAs including FSK, etc, ADMODUS devices, Yihi, etc about 10 to be exact (maybe not as many as you, but only three of them are DNAs!) -- many suck (including one DNA) and some are good (like my Lavabox M I just got yesterday) And I love my Hohm Wrecker and I love the chip better than all of my DNAs (why would I even say that I love the FSK if I was a DNA fanboy, come on, seriously?). But the company as a whole blew it on the Slice, poor quality and just not up to the same level as the Hohm Wrecker (yes, chip is great, but I don't just a mod solely on the chip. Form factor and quality mean something to me). Companies set certain images and in this particular case FOR ME, that image was tarnished when they went from the Hohm Wrecker (awesome product!!) to the Slice (not so much). They could and should have done better. Will I buy another HT device? Maybe, but they'll have to work a lot harder to improve quality IMO.
My complaints here have nothing to do with the fact that I use other devices. I love the Hohm Wrecker as I said. The fact that you think I have a "DNA" agenda here is just flat wrong. Its in my right to say that I was not happy with the Slice for its quality and it is in my right to say that HT didn't do anything to address my concerns other than say, "put some tape on the door and wait for us to release a better version that you can buy". It is also in my right to recommend to others to not buy it, and it is their right to care and their decision alone to make about whether they buy it.
As for who I dealt with at HT, that's none of your business (unless of course you work for HT). It wasn't Ben and it honestly doesn't matter as they made it very clear to me there was nothing they were going to do (e.g., they could have said, heh we'll give you a $20 coupon to buy a new Slice once we fix all of our quality issues).
How about you get your facts straights about who I am and what I might represent before you go spewing acquisitions that I am a DNA fan boy trolling here. That is so far from the truth.
And yes, I know you will say that my response here is further trolling, but not much I can do about that as you clearly have it in your head that I am a DNA fanboy. But I will continue to chime in my view when people ask about the Slice, as I wouldn't want to wish it on anyone. Sorry.
