Maybe some; I'm pretty sure that there were some number of people who actually pledged to the Ubuntu Edge campaign *because* it was clear that the funding trigger-amount was not actually going to be reached. They decided that it was probably important to _make a showing of support_ for the mobile-phone industry to see, even if that was all that they were doing (what's a term for that? `guerrilla market research'?). And it's easier to `put your money where your mouth is', even if (especially if) you think that you can't really afford it, when you know that you'll get your money back in a month. -- "'tis an ill wind that blows no minds." _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
