I went to pay my rent in cash (I was out of checks), and they told me "we don't accept cash." I told them they had to, it's the law. That's the whole purpose of legal tender, isn't it? I paid $.99 for a money order and appeased them, that month. The next month, I brought cash again, but had a cop with me (friend). Strangely, they will accept cash when forced to by a law enforcement officer.

Then there was the guy with $2 bills at Best Buy, but that is another story.]]>Feb 15th 2008 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/Feb 15th 2008 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/Feb 15th 2008 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/

Legal tender for all debts, public and private. Also see wikipedia: "Legal tender or forced tender is payment that, by law, cannot be refused in settlement of a debt denominated in the same currency."]]>Feb 15th 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/Feb 15th 2008 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/legal-tender.shtml

A symentaic argument is nice and all, but the Us government says otherwise.]]>Feb 15th 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/Feb 15th 2008 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/
The worst thing to do is show your prototypes so far in advance of when you can actually deliver a bulletproof product. Otherwise, you lose all the energy that a really new product generates its first few weeks in the store.

If this is another false start (like last month), it only serves to cause everyone to question whether there are fundamental flaws in the product.

I for one am not camping out at my local Wal Mart. I will now wait until the product in on the market a couple of months to see if the production version meets everyone's expecations. If there are a lot of folks like me (and I suspect they are) this is very bad news for Everex.

Meanwhile the ASUSTeK folks have to be laughing their butts off. ]]>Feb 15th 2008 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.ultramobilelife.com/index.php/20080215769/CloudBooks-now-in-boxes-so-that-you-can-unbox-them.htm

Unfortunately, they did it once. I am afraid that they are going to do it again.

They are not. The truth hurts.]]>Feb 15th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/
Busting on Everex is entirely uncalled for. In fact, Everex and the folks at gOS are just wanting to have as smooth as a launch as they can. Microsoft and now Engadget readers don't give a crap about whether it just works or not.]]>Feb 15th 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/hey-everex-its-the-15th-cloudbooks-please/
