Yep, it's sad but I still think the future is brilliant for us:

Think that: 3d printers are just emerging, soon you will be able to order a
3d printed coco3 plastic case for an affordable price and quality. Even the
keyboard, virtually anything in plastic or polimer will be printed. It's
like star trek technology!

For the PCB ? The same, we have already pcb makers, but soon it will be
even more affordable or any FPGA custom made board.
