I couldn't care less about SharkPPC anymore. I want to run next generation OS'es on completely new hardware instead of kludgy hacked up classic Amiga.

And my MediatorZIV on my a1200 does what it's supposed to do. I got cheap and fast graphics card to replace dog slow Zorro2 gfx-card I had earlier. I got cheap network card, which is way faster than any Zorro-NIC I've tried. And TV-card cheaply too. And I don't think my Spider2 was that expensive... OK, same hardware could be little cheaper from PC shop, but it was still much more affordable than any other USB solution for my Amiga. It didn't kill me to pay it when I aldready had Mediator setup. I'd probably be without any USB on my Amiga if it wouldn't be there.

I don't like Elbox's attitude always etc, but thing would be much worse with classic Amigas without them. And there's always been vapourware everywhere. Shouldn't you, as amigans, have already learnt that don't expect anything to really come until you actually hold it? There's hundreds of similar things which never appeared. Don't get too passionate until they're really selling. In any case Elbox has given more life for classic Amigas with real products and I really don't want them to quit, even if some things could change :) BTW. where would you buy PCI-bus nowadays if not from Elbox? I'm sure most of the people are wise enough not to buy it now just for the SharkPPC.
