Or, for an additional Euro 100, the Peg I owner can keep the board rather than return it to Genesi. Those interested in the offer should  email sales@pegasosppc.com by 30 June, 2005.

payment in advance . . . . brrrrrrv!

What do you mean? This is a typical payment/delivery procedure. Don't you normally pay at the time of ordering when you buy something online?

Absolutely agreed when you're actually ordering a product which has already been created and is ready for delivery.

...Which seems to be the situation here. A guy posted at Morphzone that he'd just ordered one of these on June 9, and four days later posted screenshots and photos of his machine, so apparently they are shipping as soon as the order is received.
