In the latest poll one pick is the Phase 5 G3/G4 boards. Did any of you preorder when you could? If so what ever happened to all that money? I've been searching and cant seem to find anything on what they ever used the money for.
-
I ordered one, but fortunately, I ordered through Blittersoft, who didn't take my money but would have done once the product was shipping.
-
No.
-
What is the point of replying if you didn't buy one? :-?
-
Yes :-?
Gone with the wind...
-
Hmm, not sure about that, but Elbox are selling the Shark G3/G4 boards, I think when OS4 is released :-)
Check 'em out at Elbox.com

Yep, I did, back in the days when I trusted people. I guess my $150 (?) helped to keep Phase 5 afloat for a few seconds.

Eh? Ralph used to work at Phase 5 as an engineer, that's all. He didn't pocket money for pre-orders, and it certainly wasn't used to fund MorphOS development.
You don't see Commodore's debtor's harassing Dave Haynie about money owed to them when Commodore went bankrupt do you?
But somehow if it's Phase 5 it's ok to go making false claims...

Hey Lando, let's go harrass ARM regarding the preorders of the BoXeR. After all, Mick Tinker now works for them.

Like it is OK to do it to some other Amiga firm right ? (It goes both ways)
-edit-
-People make false claims about Amiga inc, live with it
-People make false claims about Genesi, live with it
-People make false claims about C=, live with it
-People make false claims about P5, live with it
-People make false claims about bPlan,, live with it
-People make false claims about your chosen product, live with it
-People like to make false claims, start false rumors, about whatever they want, so what ?! Live with it..

Anyway, didn't Red ask us to try not to go this route in topics ?
As for the topic, I was very tempted to pre-order as I had a CyberstormPPC / CybervisionPPC... (un)fortunatly P5 went belly up taking the money from the pre order to the big fish P5 owned money to :-(

Life sucks. Then you die. So stop whining. ;-)

Life sucks... Meet my girlfriend, life... ;-) :-o

Nice to know he found a job after all that.

......aaaaaand back to subject, yeah i pre-ordered one, but again, no money was exchanged till shipping.
as for making false claims, microsofts bin doing it for so long, no-one cares anymore.
-
Yup, but as with everybody else, no card ever came and no money was ever taken.
It was a real shame, I was sooo looking forward to getting a G4....
Now more powerful hardware is available and I can't afford to get it :-(
-
Yes I did, and I still even have the fax I sent to phase 5 giving them permission to charge my credit card. Like so many others, I was GREATLY looking forward to those cards and even opted for the "SCSI module".
Needless to say, they took my money and I never got refunded nor the board. Very disappointing. So much for the "trust fund" that wouldn't go to them in case they went bankrupt.
Considering my current Cyberstorm cost $1300 when I bought it many years ago, I guess waiting several more years from the phase 5 "offer", my $800 A1 isn't bad. ;-)
