Eyetech site updated

Now no-one in my belief can fault Eyetech's sense of fairness. I myself would have chosen a much more cynical marketing plan - release the SE first without telling anyone about the XE, then release the XE 6 months later: the result - selling more boards, since those with SEs with feel obliged to upgrade. In other words, industry standard tactics.

The XE looks nice too. With the introduction of an an easy-upgradable CPU, the advantage of the Pegasos board disappears. Eyetech made a good choice in selecting cheap (relatively cheap!), disposable boards, despite what the flamers have said.

I wonder what the MOS folks have to say. I'm sure I'll soon find out, eh Kronos ;-)

Tell me a marketing ploy that *isn't* cynical. Capitalism is, by its very nature, exploitative. In my opinion Eyetech have chosen a maketing ploy which is less cynical than I expected, one that might even get them some new friends. Who knows?

Anybody who doesn't it should live in Cuba. Or North Korea. Or China.

Rodney, I don't for a minute think your comment is anything less than flame bait, but its not even particularly clever flame bait.

Feel free to either languish with an ancient 50MHz machine that can't even run GL at a decent speed, or even worse, some dodgy emulator with no future on an x86.
