it's always difficult to judge from outside. Slim seems to have a lot of 
happy customers, so his work can't be generally bad. He replied to Tim 
on Adam Gussow's forums and admitted that he made errors and is 
willing to rework whatever was wrton on the case. That sounds fair.
However Slim also wrote the following:

"Its easy for people to say if you have too many orders you should 
stop taking orders, when you have bills to pay etc etc. "

What? Slims bills and etcs are not the customers concern. It'd be fair 
to take the money if it's very clear, that the case probably won't be 
delivered within a year or whatever. It'd be even better not too 
charge the money before the building process actually starts. Ignoring 
promised lead times, lying about the building progress, things like 
that don't sound fair to my ears. I don't want to be taken for a fool 
and apart from the good reviews Slim received for his work i surely 
won't order anything from him as long as i'm unsure that he's a 
sincere character. The quotation above doesn't make me confident of 
that.
