the complexity of doing a multi-device launch i explain here:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop/updates/moqs
basically we're already 54% of the way to one of the critical thresholds for
the Computer Cards: the MOQ is 250. assuming an equal balance we actually
should reach that critical threshold around the $65k mark.
if however someone ordered another 114 computer cards and 0 laptops or
micro-desktops we would reach that MOQ of 250 *but* we would need a leeetle
bit more cash so that i can get to Taiwan.
we'll get there one way or another and no i will not be giving up.
it is however really important that everyone get onto internet forums, news
groups, mailing lists - talk to friends, talk on IRC, even if you have
friends who use windows for all their life that's a great opportunity to ask
them if they are fed up of losing files, afraid of ransomware stealing their
data, if they've ever had to shell out for a new computer just because of a
virus and so on, and explain to them about this laptop, how it can be
upgraded to faster processor and memory for only $65 (less once we get to
mass-volume) and that if they get one you'll help them out if they have any
questions. oh and it weighs only 1.1kg :)
it's down to everyone to work together so that the minimum threshold's met.
