Thanks once again to Phil!

Did you ever hear anything more from Chris about the boards that were sent to 
him? Or did you get an opportunity to look at the ones that were sent your 
way?

Obviously, Pablo did look at one board back in June/July 2020, prior to the 
above update, but he didn't get very far, unfortunately. It seems that of the 
100 cards that were manufactured, Chris ended up with at least 90 of them:

He was apparently busy getting a wireless networking dongle RYF certified in 
June of last year:

So, I wonder if anything happened since then.

P.S. While I wasn't looking, Intel followed on from its Compute Card...

...with a range of NUC Elements products:

They even have a laptop product using the NUC Compute Element:

The Compute Element being a more conservative evolution of the Compute Card, I 
suppose.
