The way it looks to me, it's something like "The first batch will be a bit late; later batches may be more expensive, or may not happen, or maybe they'll just be a little late -- or maybe we'll have enough of a windfall of good fortune to get back on schedule." Obviously, I'm hoping for one of the latter two, rather than the former two. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
