Post by: greenboy on February 28, 2003, 07:38:12 PM: They sold out fast! 300+ for new orders, I think. I see a lot of developers getting them, and some user groups that are very active, and some demo scene talent. All in all, I'm pleased with the results : }

They produced 400/450, with 100-150 set aside for developers and 300 for general consumption.

Basically Genesi sold 3 an hour since monday.

Well, that just goes to show that when it comes to computers (as in most other things, so I'm not all that surprised) people are willing to pay a little bit more if they believe they're getting their money's worth. A $500 PC has more "horsepower" than a Pegasos, but obviously people are seeing beyond just performance figures. I think it's good that this is happening just as IBM is preparing to manufacture their 64bit PPCs, it won't be just rackmounts and Apples that benefit from those :-)

Post by: bbrv on March 01, 2003, 10:07:21 AM: Yes, CodeSmith we are expecting that this new IBM PPC will fit just fine into our future plans. We have been confident of this potential for some time. When we think what might be possible we do get excited.

Hi Rob, like that avatar...;-) Glad you finally noticed!

:lol:

Best regards,

Raquel and Bill :-)
