I took a chance and ordered on Sunday, through Paypal. So far nothing has come as a PayPal invoice. If I don't hear from them soon, I will call with a CC number. :angry:

I last heard from Joe on Friday, He had said there was a small delay and the Typhoons would hopefully ship yesterday. I haven't heard anything since

I just received a UPS shipment notification from Software Hut.  Something will be arriving on my doorstep on Thursday.  Hopefully this will be the 4060 or A1200 Typhoon.

 :-P

Hopefully that is just to the US. IF he uses UPS to Canada, he has lost a customer. Never mind UPS will probably charge at least $50 for this. I have e-mail him, hopefully its not too late.

Has anyone received their Typhoon boards yet?  I am interested to see how much of a speed boost people have received from them.  Cheers!


I don't think they have even been shipped yet. Joe was saying there was a delay of some sort from GVP. He had hoped to ship mine out last Thursday, but I have not heard from him since Wednesday.

I don't see how the purchasing of these card initially funded their construction considering Softwarehut doesn't charge you for them until the card is in their hands and ready to ship.  I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and it has finally shown up and they have shipped it my way, I wasn't charged for the card until tuesday of this week.  If they were charging for preorders then I would say yes on the whole purchasing funding the cards.  From what I understand from talking with the gentleman at Softwarehut is that there is only one person assembling these cards, and he's doing it pretty much by hand, that could explain the whole taking forever thing, I think.


That's for CC orders, Paypal orders were paid in full. I know mine was over a month ago now. Joe emailed me on Tuesday, andhe was still waiting for the Typhoon cards in at his end, He is not to blame here, but I am getting a bit of "Cold feet" as I don't need the typhoon any more.

Has anyone received any positive word from Joe on the Typhoon Cards? I emailed him today. If there is no new news, I am asking for a full refund. 2 months is just way too long to wait for something I don't need any more. I feel like a shmuck for doing it, but the money can be used elsewhere at this time.

Just an update on the Typhoon accelerators.   Joe emailed me this morning letting me know that he had confirmed the Typhoon cards will be in tomorrow (Friday 6/18).  Now, that was all he said and I hope that also implies that all orders outstanding will be processed and shipped tomorrow as well.:D

That is strange. The e-mail he sent me today, he said Mike was coming in today with the cards, but he did say they would all be shipped out friday. I wonder if he got word from Mike after he sent out your e-mail.
Its a moot point anyway, because I have seen this same e-mail from him at least 4 times before (just different dates). We shall see.

@Dawg,
I am not sure about your payment question. In MY case, I paid with Paypal in full on April 26. With an expected time of delivery within 2 weeks.
