+## You know how...
+
+You know how for computers, you really have no idea how they work? And
+how you keep having to replace them with upgrades? Turns out that
+it's very difficult for medium-sized businesses to design lower-cost products
+because the only cheap processors (almost always from China) do not respect
+Copyright law, provide almost zero documentation, and even Intel processors
+are known to have spying backdoor co-processors in them?
+
+## Well what we do is...
+
+Well, what we do is: design 3D-capable efficient processors based on
+full transparency. All source code, right to the bedrock, hardware
+and software. We don't tell customers "trust us", we say "go have a
+specialist audit the full source, independently". If there's ever
+some documentation missing, the customer can check for themselves when
+designing *their* product around ours.
+
+## In fact...
+
+In fact, one customer that we're talking to is so fed up with a Chinese-based
+$35 component that they are using in a $3000 product, where they are having
+to spend considerable resources to *reverse-engineer* the China component,
+they are so fed up that they're willing to bet on our product even before we've
+completed it, they believe in the approach and our design that much.
+
+# "Gaddie Pitch" (1.5) for LibreSOC + EOMA68
+
+## What we do
+
+Design modular computing appliances based around "Computer Card" standards
+where the "Computer Card" may be upgraded, swapped, shared, re-programmed,
+re-purposed, and re-used.
+
+## Benefits
+
+Almost too numerous to describe. Not just the right to repair: the right
+to redesign and many more. "Computer Card" has the data *and* the apps on
+it, so goodbye file incompatibility: just move **the whole computer** from a
+TV slot to a Laptop slot to a Tablet slot to a Desktop slot. Also the cost
+savings and environmental savings are enormous. Keep the same $300 Laptop
+"Housing" for 15 years, upgrade its parts over time, and not only buy a
+new Computer Card for $30 every 2 years, keep the old one as a "spare",
+give it to the kids, re-program it for watching Videos, the list is endless.
+
+## Feelings
+
+Every person we've spoken to, once they get around the confusion of the
+idea of a "Computer" being inside a "Card" rather than "part of A Laptop",
+has loved both the environmental as well as the cost savings.
