    X1000/Nemo had finally been sold out in 2015, 3½ years after commercial launch.

    > I guess almost a year for the Tabor and almost 3 years for the Nemo

    It's about one year for the 500 X5000/Cyrus(Plus) boards and I guess slightly less for the 1000 A1222/Tabor boards. X1000/Nemo was launched 4½ years ago and sold out about one year ago.

    I guess I'm using the wrong term for the X5000 boards sitting on a pallet. I struggle to follow such things as they only interest me in the mildest of curiosities and so many years pass.

    Sure they are separate ;-) ;-) But seriously, thanks for the links.

    The A-Eon side is in £673,400 in debt as of 2015 (probably higher in 2016)!

    I didn't realize Brexit hurt the pound as much as it has!

    Wrong term and wrong time frame, yes.

    Is it just how much it owes Trevor, I assume he's the still the main financier. He admitted early on that the X1000 would never make back it's development costs but I though future products were supposed to pay for themselves, so logically the liabilities would increase.

    The drop in the price of the pound wouldn't have had much of an effect because production took place before the referendum and Varisys is a British company.
    Of course, it will mean that they pay more for the services of their overseas software developers.

    The drop in prices makes their products more attractively priced to overseas customers.

    Where it has more of an effect is Amigakit because more of their products are sourced from inside the Eurozone but Matt has always had to deal with currency fluctuations so nothing new there.

    I think it's worth mentioning that gutenprint is GPL software.
