To, if possible, preserve context, I'm trying here first. So, in the hope that someone still reads this old stuff: Greetings!
First, since someone seemingly still pays to keep their web sites up, their support email still issues tickets (that nobody replies to) and their shop, though stale, still offers things, is Planet Computers meaningfully active? Do they take orders? Do they ship? Has anyone heard from them? Are there any vital signs? Early last year Dom (shymega) was working on negotiating employment with them. Did anything ever come out of that?
Second, as some may recall, about two years ago, I sent my Astro to Planet, as a deficient update had disabled its screen. After giving them every benefit of doubt, the present reality is that instead of returning it, fixed or not, they ghosted me and essentially stole my Astro.
Last, as I recently relieved my still working Cosmo of its last important duty, I am contemplating to backup the thing, factory reset it and try to donate it to someone interested, preferably in Sweden, together with my remaining Planet paraphernalia, including an old Gemini, an unused car mount kit, an unworn Planet T-shirt and some other accessories. While I haven't quite made up my mind yet, would there be any takers of the lot here?
Yes, I know there is another part of the forum for that purpose. For now I'm mostly trying to gauge interest, if any.
