Cart Before the Horse

I have two problems with the Parallella board email sign-up. One: nothing is said about price. Nothing is free. Everything has a price. What's the price for Joe Blow non-kickstarter-funder? Is it $750.00, or more? I'm old school: give me the bottom line, don't dance around it all day. Two: Do you really expect people to install all kinds of exotic builds before the board is in the user's hands? This is a recipe for disaster. Why not a bare-bones installation that's been tested and vetted for multiple platforms? Come on, guys. Let's have pie on the ground before reaching for it in the sky, huh?

Since you've been so forthhcoming in answering my first two questions, I'll ask another two or three. Your Turing test asks the question, "How many cores does the Parallella board have?" Finding the answer to that question (which was 64 cores btw), was too convoluted navigating your labyrinthine site, so I found it via Googling "board cores site:parallella.org" instead. (Some will probably find it by Googling up this very post. Wouldn't that be a hoot)? If you're going to use Google as your site map, shouldn't you prominently state as much? How much of your $750,000 kickstarter funding goes to Google, by the way? What's in this for them?
