"Chris Hodges was satisfied with the contract with Elbox, but only till the time when it turned out that Elbox developed their drivers for Poseidon much faster than he expected. It tooks a few weeks, not years.
Probably Hodges counted on growing up of the interest of Poseidon as the standard for Amiga and in the mean time to have no competitor for E3B products for a long time."
Never heard so much bullsh1t before. As you can read on
http://www.platon42.de/soapopera.html yourself, I did not try to fool those people, but rather be as helpful as possible -- before Elbox started going to slag E3B for no reason and started doing there unfair competition (by refusing to mention that Poseidon was NOT included in "their" product).
As for the key thing: Even /if/ somebody working for Elbox registered Poseidon, Elbox clearly states that this person does not even *own* an Amiga. But as the Poseidon licence is personally bound to the machines somebody owns (and here in this case, the licensee does not own one, especially not the Elbox one), installing and using it on a foreign machine is a breach of licence conditions and renderes the licence invalid. If the user registered it in the name of Elbox, he didn't specify this information in the reg form. Anyway, only one PPA registered user ever upgraded their key to Poseidon V3.x, and it was Poseidon V3.x that had been shown by Elbox. And this user /does/ have an Amiga.
But whatever, all this arguing is not going to change the situation a bit. Maybe it's really time to move on.
