A while back, Hans Loeblich asked how many GTA01s were made, and how
quickly they sold. Here is the answer from Steve Mosher, our VP of
marketing:
"We wanted to limit distribution to serious development engineers. The
total build over the life of the product was less than 5000. By any
measure that's a large engineering staff. We sold to serious developers.
We sold out everything in 3 days. And then we suffered and had to wait
until production caught up with demand. Production never did match
demand, and even today with Freerunner around the corner we have people
ordering Neo1973 and we are sold out.
"So, if you own a Neo1973 you can count yourself as a early early
adopter. You own a piece of history. Freerunner, is a piece of the future.

Does anyone know how many GTA01 devices were produced? As far as I
know all the ones they produced were sold. I wonder how long it took
before they had enough orders to sell all the devices(I understand
there were some production/distribution delays even after orders were
taken). If anyone knows this info, I think it might help get a
ballpark idea of the amount of interest.

A scatter plot would be cool with some more sales to a given month period
that could be guessed. At least additional guesses for sales in first 6
and
12 months would be interesting.

The site is up. It's mostly untested. See it here:

It has the features that were mentioned in the original opening email of
this thread. It's not possible to edit entries at the moment, but I can
add
this if it's needed. I figured it doesn't need any authentication. Do you
think a captcha is necessary? Feedback is of course appreciated. I can't
make any promises about finding time to make improvements to it though, as
I'm fairly busy with college. If I find/have time I'll gladly do it :-)
Cheers,
