Anybody following the furor caused by this company?

Yup. At the moment, it isn't clear whether it really is a company. A
couple of the Mac user sites are following developments there closely,
and apparently several individuals checked out the location where the
company supposedly had its assembly site and found nothing there but
another "Reggie."

If the company turns out to be legit, I'll order a unit. I was going to
build my own desktop Mac just for grins. There are several sites that
outline how to do that. :}

Looks like it might be another lobsta boat.

Ahh, it's Eisboch's good buddy, CrappyJim of Florida.

Ahh, it's another of old demented Harry's revelations. It really must suck

Why would you say that, CrappyJim? At least I am not you. Oh,
wait...you're one of Eisboch's preferred buddies, right?
