Well...1 and 2(especially good news that..I must have missed the mee-mo ),
3(well ALL gov't's inflexibility I completely understand...I forgot for a moment exactly the kind of entity we are dealing with...they'll get on board 20 years after the fact... after spending billions on the necessary studies to see if it is viable and cost effective ) BUT...just as an example..my federal gov't went all out and gave all the ministers working ..top of the line (at the time) Electrovaya slates ..most expensive model they carried at the time...when gov't does finally commit...they don't mess around.
4- yes number 4...yes I understand it is a worry to source the parts asap...but it is also an edge...the best. If there can only ever be 1000...perhaps at best 2000 units...ever.
(unless a new compatible body design is created for the 2nd run ...the neo901..in the future..even then..for this 1st run)...
there isn't a "false" supply (report) created here for the purposes of marketing to drive interest, demand..this is dictated by the availability of the needed parts...
.this is a huge bonus...
there could only ever be 2000 units produced..ever...
THAT is a huge hook...the best.
Because it's honest, it's true. Plain and easy for all to see.
That alone is more than enough fuel to drive demand.

Volunteer?
well...whatever way I'm capable enough for ..sure...
don't know how I could help...
1-My webwork skills I think are adequate at best...
2-Design wise sure...but my speed in delivery I cannot say would be lightning ...it always depends on the quality, complexity and/ or simplicity required.
3-PR...I'm not sure I could do it...the shmoozing ..my necessary contacts here to do it right...know exactly who to interact with to get things moving "I-know-a-guy-who-knows-a-guy-I-can-put-you-in-touch-with" network in this field of interest ...the people I know to talk to and they to talk to people they know...It is far away from the work I do and the people who I know and interact with to accomplish it ...to put us in the "loop" ..get us that exposure... art, rare collectibles, that kind of field and those who are in it... is a different beast to the handheld tech world...not saying the neo isn't a rare collectible ...it is...just a different shade of horse compared to the llama I'm riding

But whatever way anyone thinks I could help ...
sure...
I wouldn't "try"..."trying" ..I "tried" ...is the expression of failure before the fact.
But I'd give 'er a shot and do what I could...
how's that..?
