It's like buying a high quality cd player and complaining because it doesn't play bluerays. I guess CD player producers will have to add an sticker claiming "it's not a blueray player".

Actually that's not what it's like at all.

Unless your CD player says that it plays "Blueray quality" disks or something similar...

The issue isn't that people are saying the Indivision marketing is wrong.  They are saying it's not 100% clear to all of their audience.
As evidenced by the number of people complaining about it.

I didn't see a problem with it, but I was aware of the technical terms.

It reminds me a bit more of the early descriptions of the SD Card floppy adapter that's being offered.  Some of the initial descriptions said that it supported read write.  But, when you read their page, it mentioned the formats, and the Amiga format was read-only.  I can see on their forums that several people missed that.  It's much more clear on their pages now, but initially it was a bit buried.

However, I was OK with that too, because it wasn't a polished - commercial distribution..  It's some guys hacking this stuff together really well..

So, what am I saying?  hmm..  :confused:  Not sure..  Just rambling before I get my caffeine I guess.  :-)

But I do think the terms are confusing to a certain percentage of their audience, even if those terms are technically accurate...
