Yeap. Wait for gen 2 Avalons or get some ASICminer shares. Those are valid choices.
I was on the fence really and a little nervous about ordering one. I stopped myself last night from ordering and I'm kind of glad I wasn't able to buy one. It was all free money I had from my BFL refund I got back a while ago which I never transferred back to USD. It just kept growing and growing. I felt a little weary about once you have the unit your on your own. They don't have any customer service now, so I doubt they will have any later. And I don't even think everyone from batch #1 received all their units yet, no?
