Talk to them on the phone. Let John make you laugh. Let Russell and Ash tell you a bit about the chip, etc. Theyre nice guys, they have good intentions, and they sell a good product at a good price and will answer questions til theyre blue in the face, and will do it repsectfully and objectively.
For as much as many think that Ash acts out of line here (and so maybe he does sometimes), he is a man who has worked hard to deliver a good product. I know some about how much Ash has sacrificed in the last few years to bring you that chip and its worth looking into the chip regardless of what you think of his "internet personality". =)
