[Arm-netbook] System 76 - Entering Phase 3

[Mike Leimon]

Luke, et.al.

I saw this blog post a couple of nights ago:

http://blog.system76.com/post/159767214983/entering-phase-three

and I was thinking to myself that it might not be a half bad idea to try
and contact these guys and see if they might be interested in making an
EOMA-68 laptop and maybe even get into the business of designing EOMA-68
CPU cards.

While I think that they have more traditional computer/laptops in mind for
the future, I could also see the possibility of them offering one EOMA-68
laptop for sale along a number of other traditional style laptops (why
shouldn't they hedge their bets?).

Allow me to pull the most relevant quote from their post to support my
theory:
"""
* Easy to work on and expand

At every step along the way we ask, “How does this decision affect
serviceability”. Open it, change it, expand it. Our product will be
flexible.

"""

To me the EOMA-68 paradigm sounds like an incredibly good fit. Since it
sounds like they are probably still a couple of years away from trying to
launch a line of custom laptops. Right now might be the best time to try
and bring this project to their attention... heck, if they are curious
enough it might even be worth it to send them an A20 CPU card and one of
the mini desktops (after they are completed of course).
