Hello fellas. I came across this site, when searching for information
about this computer. With that pricetag, it would be a brilliant surf
& chat computer for me.

I'm a swedish student, and I found an article in a larger
web-newspaper in sweden and was amazed..

Sadly though, when reading comments all over, at swedish sites, this
thing starts to smell very very rotten..

The speculation is about this beeing a scam, in the same way that
you've mentioned above.

There's bankrupcy issues, lies at the homepage, weird and incomplete
messages from the people behind this "madison" company. The
screenshots of the computer, has been found at other manufacturers.
Companies, that Madison claim to work with, hasn't heard of the
connection..

The things above, has been discovered by many people, at different
swedish sites. Even more than that.

The 4-6 week delivery time, sounds perfect to grab as much cash as
possible and run.

No-one can find anyone with an example of this computer. People
doesn't believe this thing even exist.

I recommend all of you, to wait and see how everything turns out here
in sweden, before you buy this. As most swedes do right now.. Wait and
see if the first computers arrive at all.

I hope that this isn't a scam. I'd love to buy one. I'd love if the
promised "future generation" will arrive.

But this thing doesn't feel safe.
