> From your last update I havent seen an update as to how the os will be delivered/installed can you give an update? Will it be an SD card? Also when do you plan to start shipping boards the crowdfunding says nov of this year is that still correct? Im asking becuase i wanted to use  the eoma68 to be a little low power stream box actually can this be done? Or i wanted to replace my original pi that runs pi-hole

 hi eric these are answered by the last updates, the answers don't
change, they're not time-dependent, they're "goal" dependent, where
the goals are in turn dependent on *other people* completing certain
tasks.

 so it's flat-out impossible to answer any question that starts with "when" :)

 there's no NAND any more so micro-sd card it is.  i asked for some
help from people about how and what to ship... no response.  2,500
people and nobody made any off-the-wall suggestions: i must have asked
in an unclear way.  (p.s. thank you to the person who suggested places
to look for low-cost micro-sd cards).

 i've been in 3D design head-space for almost a month, it's... "deep
rabbit-hole" territory.... driving me nuts but finally the last batch
of critical parts are arriving tomorrow, i'll be able to start
assembly of the experimental 3D printer.

 near-100%-focus on that is why i've not been talking much.

 i reaally meant "deep down the rabbit hole" stuff... :)   some
fantastic shapes just completed tonight, a very exotic fan duct which
takes twin 25mm fans from the *top* of the carriage holder, goes
through twin ducts made from spiined "legs" that morph from squares to
crescent moon shapes, which are joined back-to-back to create the
outer and inner circle surrounding the extruder hot-end.  a hollow
arc-sphere duct is dropped on top of that and vanes added to create
vortices but also act as duct support.

 if you've seen the mendel90 fan duct the effeect is a bit like that
but without the "support" problems (due to the vanes).  i wanted the
air to come out evenly all the way round the extruder but i also want
to try it as a vortex ("tornado").

 overall it's a fascinating and beautiful shape, in a startling and exotic way.


> I been very temped to buy a new raspberry pi 3 for streaming or a tiny intel nuc to do the same, but i held of because i truly want to support your project

 thanks eric, really appreciated.
