The trouble is that the 'special' kind of people who create innovative hardware/software are not the best kind of people to market and produce it (we've seen this so often in the retro scene).

The Amiga A1200 replacement case shows how it can be done right:
The A1200 replacement case project... LOL, two years to ship, at least the cases arrived in good shape (although the mug packed in with them the handle was broken off)... but people's lives and expectations change in that period of time. I love the idea of Kickstarter, especially for backing something your heart's really into, but I don't think I'd back something like that on there again. From now on out I think I'll wait for products to be in-stock and available from a trusted retailer, instead. Just IMHO.
