I've been following this thread for at list 2 months and, like everybody else, very much interested on it.
Unfortunately, I think commercial interests got on the way and we'll not see the $140 end product.
Kreutz stated in Aug 2006, "The whole idea came out while trying to help a fellow engineer, who was laid off last week (and needs the income). In order to make sure this is going to help her, I need to know if it has some demand in our community."
Well, it's hard to believe that populating and testing such a nice design (with the help of a unemployed engineer) takes such a long time. As an engineer myself, Id be very tickled and pressed to do it myself ASAP, that's the nature of engineering - does not matter how many jobs you have - it's pleasure!
So, here I am, ready to be booted from this forum, but feeling firm (and hopefully wrong) that this is another good intention gone wrong. We'll not see this board near the stated starting price at all.
