About the A\Box Campaign
Our Mission
To show an alternative to the dominating computers which still
use basic technology from the 80's to make computers for the next decades.
To give people a better understanding of the computers hardware, so they
will see why the hardware of the A\Box is superior to the leading platforms
today. To increase the sales of the A\Box, so a large user-base will be
created, and rise the standards of computing by years.
Why are we doing this ?
This campaign wouldn't need to exist if the total domination
of the Wintel platform didn't exist. By extreme marketing, the low standards
of the Wintel computers, have becomed the world-standard. The PC-platform
is also heading for a dark future, especially with Intels plans of becoming
the only possible CPU in future PC's with an AGP port.
The People
Many people are responsible for making this web-site.
It would be almost impossible to do it all alone, so there are many different
people involved. Make sure you contact the right one if there is anything

knowledge and skills with us !
