(because it means that someone can go out with cash and buy the bloody LCDs!) if he gets another 4 confirmations by tomorrow morning (actually 10 hours from now) then he'll order 20, and if nobody wants them he'll take them to markets in nepal and sell them there :) l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi to all, Well LCD is not my first interest, i may live even w/o LCD, so having more RAM, say at list 512 MB , will be much usefully. My final usage is to put that board in a old laptop. Can I change LCD for more RAM ? that will be really nice ! regards, adb Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton wrote: On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 12:44 PM, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton wrote: folks, i'm really really sorry, it seems that the CT-PC89E is such a new product they're doing that they'd not paid anyone for the LCD panels yet. so - very very sorry, people, but: who's still in (and happy to pay an extra $26.40), and who would like a refund? bless you all, within under 20 mins, 2 people confirmed already that they're happy to pay extra, making 6 so far. the engineers at the factory are on overtime, they're that embarrassed about it, it's 9pm there now. ... we seem to have created quite a stir :) l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Also, do you haev a model # on the new LCD panels?) thanks J. we've asked them once, already. they said "innolux" which isn't the part number, is it :) so yes, we've been asking, in order to find out if we can source a cheaper one _for_ them. > On Wed, 3 Feb 2010, JLB wrote: > >> I'm still in.
