How can anyone put a positive spin on this?!?


I can't.

To all my new friends in the morphOS community....I won't be joining you for a while....don't feel like taking a chance....its just too costly and too speculative.

But I still wish you well, and if you ever get that Mac version running, I'm there with ya....

I'll answer you honestly.

companies over produce and have to put computer on sale, sometimes they under produce, and have to keep prices high...but they don't just announce unavailability for a while.

Its herky jerky.  It doesn't imply stability.  Its promising selling a CPU module as a feature, but only one CPU module ends up existing.

Its the other promises that could change, as needs change, as circumstances change.

I don't blame genesi, I don't, but this is a reminder that they are a huge gamble.  I'm not interested in that right now.

And 400 boards by september is not market building.   hyperion, as small as they are, will lose 400 customers just by shooting themselves in the foot...I don't see genesi even making an impact for the short term.

And they are the challenger, the upstart, they are the ones who need to do everything right and gain the advantage.  I'm not saying its all over....heavens no....they may well succeed...but I'll join them a little later, perhaps...maybe, when they are on a more solid foundation.
