I'm sure enough of us calling to see if they
have any of their X-117C
computers or parts still lying around, we'd all help buy those up and
those

can't find ANY reference or
a
Xalaga computer anywhere, and never heard of one
until today. Judging
from that alone, looks like these guys biggest problem is they didn't
know
how to market themselves very well.
