Rio Car (Empeg) Sounds Like History

While it remains the most advanced car player available, there was not enough demand to keep that group profitable. It will continue to be sold through their e-stores (Non-USA and USA) until inventory is exhausted. This was/is the ultimate in car stereo for MP3 playback. Disappointing."

I have Steven Levys book called "Hackers" and take my inspiration from it. I can relate to some of those guys at MIT. What a shame that the very word that made most of what the computing industry is today, is now associated with criminal behaviour. Very saddening.
