    Ouch.

    I had great dealings with Rock in the past, and was very close to purchasing from them a couple of times. They were always polite and as helpful as possible in both e-mail and telephone conversations.

    This news sucks. A lot. :(

    yeh this is a bit of a shock. they seemed to be releasing decent products and were ahead in the laptop gaming industry which appears to be growing

    Could this be the first of the "super premium" laptop and PC companies to go?

    im not surprised, Nvidia took so long to release the 8800M series and with people wanting DX10 and vista gaming, the hardware wasn't there so PC based gaming increased.

    Very sad news, maybe someone in Taiwan will step in with an offer though I doubt that things would be the same.

    The glass is always half full.

    Or the glass is too large for the required liquid and a more optimal glass should be used.
