Somehow this is the first I’m hearing of this, and yet I have never hit buy so quick.

Even if, heaven forbid, this company is no longer around in five years when I need new parts, just the ability to upgrade RAM, SSD, etc is so valuable.

If enough people buy, then the supply of parts could be independent of the company itself, as third-party manufacturers would probably see an opportunity.

Absolutely. We see the health of the ecosystem as a positive end state for us, regardless of whether we're selling the most modules or third parties are. We're standing up a marketplace to help foster that.
