Hey sl,

I can't spring up that much money for this machine, but I'm curious,
if that's alright -- why are you selling the reform and what are you
substituting it with?  A x61t as you were thinking of previously?  I
can't believe it has already been well over a year since the reform
came out, but a ton of work has been poured into it, perhaps actually
more from our 9fronters than others, to the point where I feel it has
become symbolic almost.  Of course, there's still lots missing, and
it's far from perfect.  Essentially, I'm curious what your takeaway
from 1 year of using it is, for this machine specifically, and perhaps
for crowd funded stuff in general so far, given past experience with
51nb...  Is this stuff worth the bother?  Is it more than a hacking
toy and can it replace the usual thinkpad suspects?

Cheers,
qwx
