folks, i'm really really sorry, it seems that the CT-PC89E is such a new product they're doing that they'd not paid anyone for the LCD panels yet. and that means that the stocks they were counting on, to get the price we were quoted, have been sold to other people. we're now up to 20 people: if they supplied the machines at the previous price that's simply more money they would lose.
they've found another type of LCD panel, but it's about $25 more expensive. they're sufficiently embarrassed by the mistake to offer the netbooks at cost: after chinese new year they'll have to put the price up accordingly when they start selling them in volume. so, looking on the bright side: there's still an opportunity to get something cheaper which will _become_ slightly more expensive, and, reading between the lines, it'll be a better LCD panel than the other one they found, anyway. so - very very sorry, people, but: who's still in (and happy to pay an extra $26.40), and who would like a refund? all very awkward, i know - an interesting learning experience if nothing else. (and it's _still_ cheaper than an intel atom netbook, and still interesting). do let me know, people. frans - you still get yours :) l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
