    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    I believe, you are possibly wrong about this for reasons that you may disagree with. The year 1BC is 0AD. So there was a year 0, in a way that people at the time wouldn't have known about. Similarly, 2 BC is -1AD. Both 1BC, and 1AD are meaningless dates, set arbitrarily. So, we don't even have...

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    If painted, could we have more color variants? Say, 3 plastic colors and 9 paints in varying lightness but similar hue... I'd like that. Scratches would probably still be very faint. color tastes are often very specific and subjective. I'd probably go for some variant of yellow if it looks warm...

    If a default choice is set, which desktop environment the Pyra OS should have ?

    I was thinking about that as well. Some DEs have this concept where the screen shows a part of your desktop and you move that screen like you would in an rts game, like warcraft. Plasma has that. And the pyra has perfect controls for it. Perhaps something can be done with that. I am not entierly...

    If a default choice is set, which desktop environment the Pyra OS should have ?

    Have you ever opened a piece of gtk2-gui that has no scroll bar but a fixed window size that is bigger than your screen? In such cases you can't hit the [cancel] and [ok] buttons. I have; on a netbook with a larger screen and similar resolution. I'm glad that it works for you... I'm not...

    If a default choice is set, which desktop environment the Pyra OS should have ?

    I know that it is and was the default. I would also say that XFCE and MATE both are pretty neat; it's great that there are no issues. That is really a strong point in favour of liking xfce and mate. But, a blind man can see that they are not meant for a physically small screen. The resolution is...

    If a default choice is set, which desktop environment the Pyra OS should have ?

    I don't understand why anyone would suggest to even consider i3. It's tiling. Why would you want to subdivide a really small screen into even smaller rectangles. XFCE is a really bad choice as well. It doesn't mattet that it is small in memory. The whole idea is that it's a traditional desktop...

    It could be we're there!

    Since everything is so close to completion now, perhaps someone could take a nice photo of the blue pyra, fully assembled, and replace the rendering on the homepage? A rendered picture signals: "little progress has been made towards final product". The blue case looked really pretty.

    It's the keyboard layout.

    No, I mean diacritical marks on latin letters. I called them accents at first, because in French they are called "accent aigu" and similar. That is why I store all diacritics as "accents" in my head (I rarely have to talk about them, and consider the dots in ï to be "accents" as well). The gist...

    It's the keyboard layout.

    I did not object to a layout that has these letters, You misunderstand what I said and probably didn't read what came before. I mean that German is not *much* worse than Finnish and I do type German with the compose key (including ä and ö) and since the combinations are pressed in sequence and...
