[quote author=Milos link=1191270593/0#6 date=1191281145]nero_design reviews are getting very vague. I got nothing against him except that now they are complete advertisements. No critique at all. I take reviews very seriously and I like to hear both sides.What kind of laser review is this when its a perfect unit. There is no such thing- not in laser world specially. Like Pseudo sometimes focuses more on critique than positive sides but at least you know that units he writes about are being looked at, tested, and judged carefully.
grrrrh
just my 5c
yes, that's part of what makes my gut say "fake" about the review, it really sounds like pure marketing speak/advertising... which in turn seems dishonest... even reviews by people who absolutely love the laser they're reviewing and want to have it's babies usually discuss some tiny niggle/annoyance/drawback :/
so yeah, something like that posing as a review annoys me, i hate dishonesty, and it makes me question if nero really is just a huge huge huge fan who *literally* can't say a single bad word about WL/TL, or is somehow in their employ, especially with posts i remember from him saying that all the criticism about WL/TL is other laser companies (who are of course, all evil puppydog-kickers and make their lasers from the corpses of ickle kittens) spreading malicious rumours because they're threatened by how utterly awesome WL supposedly is and can only compete by spreading evil lies (i did see a post to this effect on LC by nero, but it was in a thread that's now deleted i think)[/quote]
There's no doubt that Nero design is employed by WL/TL. For the past two years or so, Nero has been the WL photographer and doing all the important photo layouts for the WL website. This is also why he doesn't have a good laser power meter, he's not a laser expert, just a photographer on the WL/TL payroll.
Maybe he'll also be doing the WL/TL comparison between the TL Skybolt and our RPL-165. The reason I say this is because WL/TL just bought two of our RPL-165 lasers. Not sure why they bought them, maybe they'll say they're RPL-300s or something and compare them to their skybolt 225, who knows.
I would have never known if not for the kind people at UPS.
A fellow in California bought two of the RPL-165 lasers last week. They were sent by 2nd day fedex and within an hour of me getting the delivery confirmation email from fedex, I got a call from a UPS office in this same city. The UPS clerk said that they had a package brought in from a customer with our fedex airbill attached to it and they wanted to know how to classify it for customs export. Wondering who the lasers were going to, I told them that it depended on the final destination address as to how they should be classified as several packages were sent to that customer. There wasn't any other packages, just that one; but I wanted to know who really ordered them. I was told that this was that package that is going to "J.Cornwell" at 555 Fahuazhen road in Shanghai China, at that point, for some reason my cell phone dropped the call.
