 That is correct, the project was put on hold and since then no work has been
 put into the machine. The major people that were financing the project pulled
 out and that is why it was placed on hold and now its dead. 

Again, I think that Bill should make something like softPC like Lim Thye Chean 
suggested. That would be the best choise for everyone.
