Speculation, but in terms of variables Glowforge has no control over, certifications are the only thing I can think ofā¦ They may have been secured for all I know, but I would expect that would be something that @dan would be eager to announce.

Looks like everything has been said, so I just want to thank you all for your efforts to deliver a product of this quality. This is my first time supporting a starter but I think will be the best

So, the next questions are 1 - when will we have access to the online Glowforge tool set, and 2 - the online catalog?

Wait, wait, waitā¦ This makes it seem like these things are actually going to happen. Iām so used to sitting in front of my screen and DREAMING about the possibility for the last yearāHOLY COW!
IāM NOT READY!!!
Iāve got to start making room for this thing. I gotta actually read the forum posts Iāve been skipping for the last year so I know what materials are gonna disintegrate my lungs or burn my house down and which ones Iāll actually be able to use. Iāve gotta figure out a plan of attack for the 700+ projects Iāve just been stockpiling on Pinterest and Evernote (thatās actually not an exaggeration. Iāve literally been saving everything in the off chance it sparks an idea or solution in the future). I gotta load up on all kinds of other stuff, like sandpaper, glue, LED Lights, hinges, paint supplies, wood stainsāI donāt even know what all!
IāM SO EXCITED I CANāT WAIT!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

Humor is so powerful.
You are just nuts enough to make it through a life on Earth, emerge with a smile for the reaper - and put him in his place! 
Me? Crazy enough to snicker at myself as Iām crawling from the wreckage.

Yup - Iām the one down near Vasona Lake. Milpitas isnāt literally on my way home, but itās a stoneās throw from the office, and could make a nice detour if it were actually feasible to pick up my unit right from the factory, rather than have to risk it in shipping
