Where do customers find this information?.


Really?  Isn't that common sense?  Why buy a product for what you think it might be in the future?  Buy something for what it is at time of purchase, otherwise wait.

Ridiculous excuse. We are constantly told what it will do in the future, but "don't buy it for that".  

Absolutely not ridiculous, and not an excuse.  It's a fact.  Everyone wants to know where the product is heading, what future plans are, but they are clearly not set in stone.  If you buy a product for features that are hoped/planned for the future you are clearly making a mistake.  Buy for what a product is today, otherwise wait until the feature you are looking for is implemented.  Plans change.

It's pretty sad how many drama queens we have in this community.  The Vampire is an awesome product, the best product in many years for the Amiga, yet some people still have nothing better to do than bitch and complain about it.

Then don't buy it!  Or, if you have because you just couldn't wait and are now "unhappy", sell it to someone who wants one!

They can't make these things fast enough and there are plenty of people out there willing to buy them.

If he's having trouble getting it done, just admit it.
Excuses about priorities or statements about the current purchasers are merely obfuscation.


Priority is the reason.  With tons of users clamoring for AGA support and native display over HDMI, plus the drive to release a standalone product, why would he focus on an FPU which only a handful of users need?  Especially when they are selling them as fast as they can make them, why would you expect them to deviate from their current path?

They are focusing on what they, and most users, consider most important first.
