Build Your Own Crusoe-Powered Computer

  1. need my support? by GoatPigSheep · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    lets see, for what you get.. their development kit is very overpriced. Crusoe is an underperforming chip. Why would I support something which just isn't very good?

    Sorry, I am not throwing my money on this sinking ship.

    and you gotta register before you can buy one, but they need your support.

    If they need my support so much they wouldn't make me register just to become their customer. We all know that Hitler used the pretext of registering Crusoe development systems in the 1930's, and then had a handy list when he confiscated them in the 1940's! Heck, anyone that can see this conspiracy coming is likely to believe we put a man on the moon, too!
