Wel, I had to read it on the mailinglist just like you guys.

As this is a technical mailinglist, I'm not going comment on the 'shafted' 
part, but I'm happy to see there is still a niche where we can add value: 

Since 2003 we've been distributing Soekris and I still believe it's 
a product worth putting my time and effort in, so I'll still going 
to take it on the road to conferences and workshops.

So not much will change.

Since the beginning we've always been ahead of the curve by integrating
Soekris boards into appliances and solutions, we were the first
to offer the 4801 in a case with the lan1641, we have of course
our rackmounted cases and offer line of solutions with 8 serial ports
as console server and the SCSI one.  Our cases (desktop and rackmount) come 
with 2 serial ports which just makes sense I guess.

We only cary tested components in which we are confident our customers
will not be disappointed with like industrial grade CF and 24/7 SATA
disks.

I guess it's because we are not box movers but have plenty of experience
with open source, most notably because of our ties to the OpenBSD 
projects (the bulk of the profits goes to the project, the rest is
used to cover costs of going to conferences).

I'm sure that people who put value in this will still find us.

It's kind of ironic that we were about to relaunch our own ordering site
with a new one that has been in test by some of customers for a 
while now ;)

Wim.
