If Platon is right and that's a pirated version (who'd know better than he?), Elbox should be bombarded with emails to register Poseidon.  Platon really bailed them out by letting Spider users register; he didn't have to.  The last thing this market needs is another Miami Deluxe fiasco, where pirating so discouraged the developer he up and left the platform entirely.

Kudos to Elbox for making the Dragon work, but they really need to start cooperating with the other developers out there for this platform.  They seem to be the new 'leading edge' Phase 5 of the market; let's hope the desperation of users for  new hardware doesn't go to their heads and they keep everything 'above board'.

The German translation indicates that one of Elbox's employees or contractor's owns the licensed version of Poseidon that was shown at the Amizadzuki show.  It also references the problem between Elbox and Poseidon's author; that originally the developer information and free keys were given to Elbox, but later updates received from Posideon's author deactivated the keys (presumably to market protect the USB Amiga market for E3B because Elbox was making USB 2.0 compliant cards).  So sounds like some kind of misunderstanding between developers.  Just great.

btw, I thought it funny that the polish translation ended with by translating Darek Smietana's last name as 'cream', which is what it means in Polish.
