Just look http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIC or in anny other languages then english. I wrote Sean yesterday an email and pleased to add some more intresting stuff to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_International_Computer Official is this article count as: " This computer-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it." > FIC was well-known to be a manufacturer of solid x86 > motherboards back in the 80s. Perhaps most people weren't into > computers back those days? ;) Could it be that to much production for other brands weaken the popularity of the brand FIC? End users are brand orientated, but IMHO this doesn't count... for us it is important the quality of the hardwareproduction and I have a feeling that FIC is a very good choice. So before the wave on media response about the Neo we should help with spreading some more informations about FIC - some more details, some pictures... Maby the decision of FIC to join/support/drive the OpenMoko/Neo1973 project and to develop and produce the Neo1973 could bring a popularity/image benefit for FIC? ;) Just beside of the chance of profit with selling Neo1973s? So expanding of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_International_Computer would help.
