While there's people like that also on this list this is a good point and something to keep in mind if and when we want to produce something. > They have been discussing the possibility of making products other > than graphics cards in order to generate capital. The problem with most if not all products that would be used for/with LinuxBIOS is that they either have a very small market or must reach a very low target price, which means there is little to no capital to be gained from the process. Indeed I think the problem with the product ideas we've had so far is that of financing the production rather than the technical knowledge needed. It's just really expensive to make stuff. :( (And then there's sales and distribution if it's a consumer product rather than developer product.) //Peter -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
