IF the buy one - get one offer were extended to American children - I'd sign up in a minute - twice or three times.

'Maybe we should explain even more about what happens,...'" Hear, hear! I, for one, would enjoy a good "little spring" story. Hope you find a venue for relating the stories involved in bringing the PC from the design board to the classroom. Oh, and one for my office! “…Jepsen says she’s inspired by all the attention on the production schedule to think about more ways to open the project to the public. ‘Maybe we should explain even more about what happens,…’”

Hear, hear! I, for one, would enjoy a good “little spring” story. Hope you find a venue for relating the stories involved in bringing the PC from the design board to the classroom.

Oh, and one for my office!

Children don't distinguish between promess and suggestion. They were informed, inwhat form ever, that in the second half this year they get cheep laptops. And now they dont come. Deliver this finally, or otherwhise it's correct that concurrent projects, inclusive nacional self-help, passes in front.

Quanta is a business, their investors and debt holders expect returns on their investment. Understanding the time value of money is important in calculating the success on this investment. Production-start dates and when devices will be sold all factors into investment decisions. The success of any endeavor is based on a schedule. Jepsen’s comments on schedule scare me. Their mission is a very important one. I hope they are able to pull this off. Quanta recently doubling the size of its Changshu manufacturing plant means Quanta has already invested money.
