| Online Pegasos Sales are back!!! : Comment 43 of 157 | ANN.lu |

You know, watching someone so continually shoot themselves through both feet loses its funny side after a while. Its almost sad to see them get taken in.
============================================================================
Freescale are ordering boards in the long term. You're going to have so much
egg on your face in the coming months, I can guarantee it.
============================================================================
Just another pile of bullshit.
============================================================================
There is a Pegasos in nearly every Freescale office on the planet. Freescale
are giving them away to their customers to encourage them to develop for G4
and AltiVec. They are training their employees with our help, and we are
involved in pilot schemes in order to prove out the worth of the Pegasos and
ODW under many real-life environments.
============================================================================
Its odd, I've never seen 'giveaways' being taken away in one hand and return so quickly when it suits you.
============================================================================
Just watch and learn.. this is how you get a product into a large market.
Duping a bewildered customer-base with holiday prize draws and the promise of a
$2 t-shirt this is not!
=============================================================================
Oh please. My ribs are hurting.
=============================================================================
There is a list of people who were promised a Pegasos board for demoscene
activity, and as soon as it's possible to fulfil that, they will get them!
That's the stark honest truth, there is no deadline or "maybe next week"
because I cannot be sure. We just started to sell Pegasos boards to Amiga
resellers again, because now we are starting to have the capacity (money-wise)
to build boards over and above the Freescale orders - the resellers really
wanted it, so we gave it to them.
===============================================================================
You gave it to them. I doubt that very much indeed.
===============================================================================
Note that Freescale aren't able to produce boards at 1/5th of the cost; not
without the 4 years of development you usually put into these things. They could start now and they'd be finished about the time we finish the Pegasos 6!
==============================================================================
Lets see, I think we've covered this, Neko says that two guys in Germany can fab, produce, develop, better than all of MOT, now called Freescale.
Just remember, the Killer Blades, Firewalls, Partnerships, Set top boxes. They all fell through, but just you watch, this one is gonna flyyyyy.
=============================================================================
They designed the Sandpoint and the PCI Mezzanine, and that product is going
out of the window now because it's old and boring (no modern peripherals..). It
also costs $4500 for half of what what we offer in a Pegasos for, what, $1400
configured?
=============================================================================
Are you all excited yet?
=============================================================================
Cost reduction is a future goal; mass production is a future goal. We can get
people to make them in batches of 300,000 if we can afford to stump up the
cash for the parts and production cost in advance, at which point a Pegasos
becomes truly throw-away in terms of price :)
==============================================================================
Do you remember Set Top Boxes? I'm sure that allied to those statements were.... Cost reduction, and mass production. Yay!. Oh and NOT forgetting ! Throw Away Price !!! Yes!!!! |
