on and expand<p>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.</p><p>"""</p><p>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).</p><p></p><p>-Mike<br /></p></div>
