I don't blindly follow nor trash Elbox. I have a Mediator, and it has worked flawlessly for almost 2 years now. I understand the concern about the RDB code, but I have not seen a single user affected by such a practice.
With that said, Elbox has not only provided excellent service after the sale--they've tried to support the community. Now, they have extended their hand to Amiga.org. I just can't understand how anyone could complain about this. :-?
