Beiträge von deft im Thema „What happened to the Website?“

    Well, this thread was fun somehow. Anyways, I am open to exchanging any content on the page. I just put the marketing words into the template and used unpublished graphics from my hdd underestimating the reactions this may cause. Frustrating everbody who waits for a desktop machine by showing trails that are obviously out of reach admittedly was not clever. We can put up more substantial stuff, but someone needs me to tell what. We also need photos of the final machine so we concentrate on producing those. I also feel the .com domain should have something like a marketing page, in the end we need as many (pre-)orders as possible to make the machine happen at an affordable price! The .org could be more for the community, does anyone want to take this task?

    In a nutshell, the main page, the forum and the blog posts are fun for us and sometimes go horribly wrong. We are sure to get many helping hands to do those right once we deliver great machines. So only this counts for us right now :)

    peace all,

    ok then; first of all let me remind you that we do this for fun only in our non-existant time and with our own money. we are basically aware of the fact that we are trying to do the impossible. main focus lies on the desktop machine (with floppy!!!!!!11eins1elf) but other things are starting to live in the lab besides that. I understand that a lot of clearance is needed on this part but can you please wait for the announcement(s)? So someone could please step forward and apply as a press manager to clean up these things in the future. I have done the website to start a modern nicer look for it and fed it with content that was lying around on my drive. Things can be exchanged but I dont like you people crapping on Jose's renderings. He does a great job building the CAD versions of the stuff while producing a lot of cool render images. And thank you all for giving me s**t for the work I put into that webpage in my non-existant time; I am open for exchanging all the text I put there if better stuff comes up. Otherwise please let me use my time productively so this adventure will become a success. Thank you!

    cheers

    Well, Groepaz, we went through a lot already, more than you can imagine! And we will surely also survive being called "scam artists" (at least it includes the word artist, not too shabby). But don't you think "plain lies" is a bit over the top? What lies are you referring to exactly? And did you read the headline saying "DESIGN STUDIES"? And one more headnut to go: Why do you think that most people (many of them not being knee-deep in the "C64 scene") like the new web page a lot (an appropriate answer could be "it does not display well on my c64") ??

    cheers,
