Buy the CX16

David has announced in his latest video that the CX16 is near production ready.

May I ask, exactly where can we put our order for the CX16, when the CX16 goes for sale?

On this WEB page? Where to look?

Also, I want to make sure that there will be sufficient available orders to that i won't miss out on it.

My understanding is that @The 8-Bit Guy hasn't decided on that yet, but he will announce/launch something when the time comes, likely on his YouTube channel and the Facebook group. The original plan was to sell it through the store on this site, but this is now technically a fan-run site and not an official enterprise.

Yeah, it's probably better to have a separate website to have the store and official documentation. This fan-run site is really good the way it is, we're sharing code and showing off what the system can do.

To be clear: we are holding the site in trust for 8-Bit Productions. We're happy to hand the domain and management over to David, should he ask for it. However, my understanding is that he's not interested in managing a forum - which is why a few of us decided to step in and take up the responsibility for the site in the first place. Otherwise, it would have been closed, and the information and software we'd already collected would have been lost.

So I can't say what's actually going to happen when the computer launches. If I had to give it my best guess, David will likely sell the computer on his web site, and we'll continue to maintain this as a place for users to connect and learn.

We don't actually know, yet. The assumption at the time was that he's going to launch some sort of crowdfunding campaign, but he could choose to just open up orders on his web site, https://www.the8bitguy.com/

I'm also sure that you'll get plenty notice when the time comes. There will be an announcement on his YouTube channel, his Facebook presence, and here (of course.)

Like he did on Planet X, Attack of PETSCII Robots, so yeah. I think this is a tried-and-true method for mr. Murray, so it makes sense to me.
