What's this about a OS4 Pegasos kit?

If all things being equal then yes i would agree with you but they are not.

No all things are probably no equal, but we may never know 100% for sure. Eyetech will of course say they arent making much money at this price, but they wont say how much it costs them per board to manufacture and how much the license is. As a consumer you rarely hear these things.

So that leaves speculation.

Ever thought that maybe Genesi are subsidising the cost of boards to

a) Kickstart intrest to get over the whole chicken/egg pice/volume problem

b)Undercut and kill the "competition"

Especially since you can't buy a Pegasos now at any price,

Send a mail to GGS Data. They have Pegasos 1 in stock. This also qualifies you for the €200 Pegasos2+G4 upgrade.
 

Very interesting, we got all this "Sold out", "amazing success" nonsense, and yet months afterwards there are still "a few" boards for sale (and it's been "a few" for a some months)

Too bad. It's called business.

Don't you know that the "good ones" only win in
Hollywood movies?

Like Dave said, I never said that it was a bad thing.  It's normal business practice (From MegaGlobalHyperCorps to market stalls).

Unlike many here I live in the real world.

Good point you have there.
Maybe it's because of the price when resellers are selling, a lot more than what I got it for example.

Well it's a bit confusing because there was also that phoenix deal too.  

One of 2 things have happened. Either dealers haven't been able to sell them as quickly as it has been claimed (i.e. a while back it was more than 'a few" that were left) or there has been a couple of boards left over for whatever reason that  dealers just haven't been able to sell.

Whichever way you look at it, it hasn't sold out.  Some may claim that's due to it not being very popular.  Personally I think that it's probably because people are now waiting for the Peg2 and aren't sure about the (What was apperently impossible on the MAI chipset when it was just the A1 that was available with G4) Upgrade to G4.

No more like people probably didn't know t here were any left. Genesi' own webshops and Phoenix all sold out of their allotment. I had no idea any dealers had stock left! That's up to the dealer to promote their stock. :-o ,

Also I bet now that the cats out of the bag, the remaining stock will be gone real quick :-D

But people have been mentioning that dealer X and dealer Y have had stock remaining for months now, that's the point.  

Every time anyone has even romotely expressed an interest in the Pegasos, theres always at least one person who pops up with a "So-and-so have a few left".  Anyone who has truely wanted an Peg1 board and who has expressed that interest publically would have been told this.

Hell I've been "informed" this on several occasions myself, and I'm really not that interested.  (AOS 4 on there and I'd consider further)

Hi Unchartered...:-)  We did sell out. Perhaps, Gunne overestimated the opportunity in his market.  OK, no problem.  Now, we are going to help him out.  What is the big deal?  Do you understand?

You need to look at this from a larger perspective!
 

I never said I had a problem, I just found it odd that for something that had sold out there were still units left over at several different dealers for a few months after "selling out"

Erm, it looks the same however you look at it.  A "sold out" product didn't in fact sell out.  (as in every produced unit was sold to an end user)

OK I'll bite - I'm wait for the AROS ISO to download so have nowt better to do.

For months now? Maybe you have missed that the
Pegasos wasn't available for some months... so how
could they have boards for months?!

A quick check reveals that on the 28th of Feb there was a news item with the title "Pegasos Sold Out" on this very site.  Now if the state eductaion system hasn't failed here I make that a little over 3 MONTHS ago. See?

@BBRV

It's Uncharted (or Andy if you'd rather) by the way not Unchartered.  That sounds like mine and Red's freakish love child, which I'd rather not think about :lol:

Um, yeah, wood, fire, ok, is this something to do with the Pegasos' underlying technology, because if it is I've got a new technology called "Levers" that you may want to buy off me for a nice sum of money.  I've also got a new "Pulley" technology which improves multimedia thoughput. :-D

I don't need wood (esp not 'made' wood), I use dried dung to make a fire. :-P

Then I think KennyR has the perfect product for you :-D

Hey Andy, levers and pulleys?!  You are farther along in the evolution!  We are still in the stone age with this story

Too advanced eh? How about speeding things up with this new accellerator I've made? I call it the "Wheel".  Best of all with my new "axel" technology allows clustering so you can use 4 or more "wheel"s for those more demanding applications. :-D

---Edit----

Second thoughts I'll stick to my Physics textbook, I can see this getting very loooong.
