He has no dealer anymore - and the lack of an FCC approval (and EC too?) only confirms what a lot of us have been saying all along. There is no $150 laptop.<BR/><BR/>Following is my (probably premature) take on a post-mortem for this whole affair...<BR/><BR/>Even though I'm sure this whole incident has been really rough on Valdi (and probably will be for a while yet) I hope he's learned something from it. I'm quite certain though, that he'll probably blame the various bloggers who's been sceptic from day one, while he obviously could've solved this whole thing by simply posting a few pics and/or disclosing a little more information.<BR/><BR/>That's not to say that I think he's quite done yet, I think he'll still make one or two last futile attempts at bringing the $150 laptop to the world. Don't get me wrong, the idea is very noble and I'm sure he had only the very best of intentions, but somewhere along the road he should probably have consulted someone who actually lives in the real world - someone who could have told him that on the internet, when things seem too good to be true, people usually think they aren't true. That seemed to be the thing that surprised him the most.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to people like Tommy, those of us interested in following the development on this matter, had the chance to find a lot of it in this one place. Let me just say, that I think most were/are here because this whole thing is really, really far out - even fascinating. If Valdi had just backed down and disappeared when someone first suspected it for being a scam, then it would have been "just another failed scam on the internet", but the fact that Valdi fought so hard to convince people that it wasn't almost made it believable. That is, until Valdi started appearing as a pathological liar without any sense of reality whatsoever. Too bad he didn't succeed - the world really could use a $150 laptop.<BR/><BR/>For me, this has been an interesting, sometimes a bit scary, story of the human mind and the social workings of the internet.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for this overly long post, just couldn't stop once I got started. :)Madsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008968249872498345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-77948682218359063832007-09-13T01:02:00.000+02:002007-09-13T01:02:00.000+02:00''I think (ahem , I guess, at least) 2Co curse the...''I think (ahem , I guess, at least) 2Co curse the day they entered into the suicide pact with Valdi :-)''<BR/><BR/>I think they are too apathetic to even curse about anything.
