That guy deserves everything he gets, he constantly makes announcements which every single one has turned out to be a lie. He has been poking fun out of Amiga users for a while with his hoax, sadly he has now an excuse to leave the scene as a hero rather than the fraud he is.
That's a bit harsh, isn't it? Truth is, no one can prove he's lying. Equally true, however, is that no one can prove he isn't.
I *personally* have no doubts that he is developing hardware, given his reputation as a reliable A1 dealer. However, I am concerned that his projects may end up like the BoXeR: designed, prototyped, but never finished. He said in the IRC log that he tends to get obsessively involved with bug crushing - I'm hoping that's the cause for delay.
