 thanks arokux - greatly appreciate you taking the time here because
joe's hardware expertise is really really valuable, but he needs
corresponding software help in order to test the hardware.

 henrik has one, and there's a couple of others....  as we're running
pretty much on a cost-basis we can't just give out boards to people at
this stage (unless it guarantees an order of say 10k to 100k units).
we had a couple of people donate theirs (which is fantastic).  phil's
found a good home for his (when he went to debconf).

 our prime focus has to be to put demo units in front of investors and
clients.  that way we can get money coming in, that then turns into
money for getting people boards, as well as funds for contracts to
complete specific software work.
