I guess situation is not as much grim as it seems. I've just discovered this device on 03/29 and was lurking in the forum for quite some times not registered. Yesterday I tried to sign up to post and could not. I saw the website folding, people worry on forums. But also there is so much potential in device, so actually despite all that I grabbed an red PE on eBay for 250$ last night and cannot wait to play with it. And this morning I was able to create account on website and subscribe to forum! maybe just website overhaul is done unprofessional??? I am hoping for best, there is no comparison to EE or PE on market yet, those things seems almost perfect for what I need...
