Yes it is BOTH, and as a "drama queen", I haven't bought one yet.
Further, while you and Niding my both be unapologetic fanboys, its pretty easy to poke holes in your statements.
Gunnar didn't need other programmers or code to test an fpu, there are plenty of available packages that use floating point routines already in existence.
If he's having trouble getting it done, just admit it.
Excuses about priorities or statements about the current purchasers are merely obfuscation.
And, as Niding admitted, its obviously a useful feature, as even with its higher clock speed, a Vampire takes MUCH longer to perform fpu commands via emulation.
As an enduser with virtually no coding skills, and absolutely no developer skill/expirience I have no idea what Gunnars request entails. He did point out that it would require committing to significant time offered and asm.
Noone has taken him up on it.
Im not going to pretend I know what he needs from the coder, do you?
Either way, with noone stepping up, they seem intent on following their own priorities, which I see no need to be negative about, since I contribute absolutly zero to the work, which I think is the case for the majority of us.
Why you feel inclined to call me a fanboi just cause I accept they follow their own internal map is beyond me.
I could rant and rave about xyz not being done yet, but it wont make development process go any faster, and it just demoralizes the team. They are actually humans afterall.
