Post by m016fec3As I wrote, I now understand, what "shipping costs" means: a pledge to
secure worldwide shipping. As others, I see no reason, why people in the
usa should not make a pledge for that.
But the situation may change in the future. As everything is (will be)
free in the board, the laptop and the pc, there in no reason, why the
boards and everything else are in the future not build in another
countries, for example in germany.
true!! however it turns out that on close investigation the costs
are higher.... *at the moment*.
however as i outline in the lpx podcast (full version) with the
current economic world climate and the USA's highly irresponsible
financial policy of hyper-inflating the US dollar (used as the world's
reserve currency), that may well change in the future.
i've discussed this with other people and was shocked to learn that
what i was *merely hypothesising* has in fact *already been discussed*
by the people who control china's economic stability.
if china decides to no longer track the US dollar's hyper-inflational
policy, the price of importing goods from china will climb first by a
factor of two, then five, then ten, then twenty and beyond.
now, given that china's population is so large that the people in
power (note i didn't say "the chinese government") have to *engineer*
situations to keep everyone busy so that they don't riot or start a
war, it's really REALLY critical that there be a product strategy that
can continue to supply export of computing appliances to the rest of
the world.
*THIS* is the "nightmare scenario" for which EOMA68 is designed.
and i'm dealing with fuckwits on half a dozen forums telling me that
the A20 is an "obsolete" processor, that they're boycotting Allwinner,
and "how can you justify $1200 i might as well buy a macbook for
that".
it's like... these people have _no_ idea of the shitstorm that's
about to unfold on a global scale.
