 brilliant.  at last.

 i just added to the discussion, there, a bit about the experiences
with kickstarter of the past 2 years.  they *finally* "got" that this
is a need that isn't being served, and that it really is a "creative"
project not some sort of commercial exploitation.  i think it was
sending them the complete list of over 900 entries with the
descriptions of what people want to do with their A10 EOMA-68 CPU
Cards that finally got it through to them: a breakdown showed about 3
or 4 people wanting to buy volume for resale.

 i'd like to get in touch with "bunnie" because as an EOMA-68 project
this is exactly what the arm-netbook list was formed for, originally,
and since then we've negotiated a deal with a company that, if
presented with prototypes, will pay for the hard tooling, pay a
royalty and get it into mass-production.

 if anyone has his contact details that would be great.
