Comment the point was never to be able to do EVERYTHING (Score 2, Interesting) 217
It wasn't meant to do everything you do with your pc. But it did just enough for most people.
The problem was a poor h/w design from the get-go and rush to manufacture that poor design. Couple that with shit production forecasts, you've got the makings of a major problem.
What most people don't know is that the h/w was upgraded to the Via Epia 733Mhz mobo and was smooth as silk. And the box was quiet because we didn't need fans anymore. We never got a chance to release it to the public. Hell, we were just finishing the build that could run off CD, hdd, PXE, or even large flash ram (128mb).
The money ran out trying to recover from the prior bad decision making and as a business move, I wouldn't have pumped more money into it unless there were major changes in management. But that's just me....
