<robotek@cybernetics.net (Mark D. Reeves)>  has been plagued with delivery problems, as reported in this newsgroup periodically.  I placed an order, last fall, that is still incomplete.  Mr. Reeves has been unresponsive, at best, to my E-mail.  While his delivery problems may be rooted in things beyond his control (like the fact that Motorola does not make chips available to smaller buyers)  I am not satisfied with the way that he has dealt with my order.

Mr. Reeves has posted to this group, on occaision, with helpful responses to others.

Cheers,

Richard.
