Well guys, I said that the timer ended at 10.00 am today my time here in Eastern Australia. Ola Jonsson wrote that it ended at 10.00 am today Paris time which would be 6.00 pm today my time.
I sat down in front of my computer a couple of minutes prior to 10.00 am Australian time and watched the timer count down to zero and it did reach zero at 10.00 am my time. What happened?
Well, the timer and associated text/captions disappeared leaving just the red background and the standard Devialet menu bar at the top of the page., but that was all that happened. The timer disappeared and there was no replacement for it, no info, no link. A big fat nothing.
I could claim my prediction that we'd get a nothing was correct but I think something else is going on. I think the timer actually ends at 10.00 am Paris time but the highly proficient and qualified Devialet staff member responsible for their web page and the timer coded the display so the countdown was linked to 10.00 am 9 October local time so it's going to run down to zero at different times today all over the world, but nothing is going to change on the web page until 10.00 am today Paris time. The really big thing to take away from this is that Devialet simply can't coordinate a web page advertising campaign over different time zones.
We're probably not getting a nothing but we are getting incompetence.
