Apr 03 08:39:07 <rah> pabs3: the thing I don't understand is why he's describing "the case opening thing" as a laptop
Apr 03 08:39:26 <rah> pabs3: I mean that's just absurd
Apr 03 08:40:22 <rah> pabs3: and more than that, I don't understand why he's developed "the case opening thing" instead of an actual laptop, which is what he's described the project as for months
Apr 03 08:40:42 <rah> pabs3: this just makes no sense at all
Apr 03 08:41:04 <rah> it's ridiculous, a farce, it's absurd
Apr 03 08:45:37 <rah> pabs3: he hasn't explained in the text why he's developed "the case opening thing" instead of a laptop
Apr 03 08:47:45 <rah> I just cannot believe what he's done
Apr 03 08:47:56 <rah> it's just crazy
Apr 03 08:51:25 <pabs3> its his time, he can be as crazy as he wants
Apr 03 08:52:15 <rah> well by the same token, I can be as amazed and dumbfounded by his craziness, as I want :-)
Apr 03 08:53:00 <rah> this is like an unsolvable paradox
Apr 03 08:55:11 <rah> "bunny, well respected hardware hacker, develops free hardware laptop innards for months, blogs about it, gets lots of interest" -> "reveals final product which is isn't a laptop"
Apr 03 08:55:22 <rah> What.  The.  Fuck.
Apr 03 08:56:01 <rah> I mean all that momentum is just gone
Apr 03 08:56:08 <rah> there were people interested in a laptop
Apr 03 08:56:32 <rah> this could have been a popular, well supported free hardware machine
Apr 03 08:57:19 <rah> now it's just a joke
Apr 03 08:58:06 <rah> and it's not like they couldn't have developed an *actual* laptop
Apr 03 08:58:13 <rah> the prototypes *were* laptops
Apr 03 08:59:25 <rah> somehow, between the prototype and the final product, a decision was made to give up on the idea of a laptop; the basic idea that largely made the project noteworthy
Apr 03 09:01:35 <rah> perhaps he didn't understand that the project would not have garnered interest if it weren't billed as a laptop
Apr 03 09:02:07 <rah> perhaps he cannot see beyond his own hardware-hacker world to why other people might have an interest
Apr 03 09:03:08 <rah> it's not his fault
Apr 03 09:04:34 <rah> it's just bitterly disappointing

Apr 03 09:39:20 <rah> I have vented my frustration
