Elbox news?

[Pyromania]

Now that Amiga OS 4.0 Classic version has been out for almost a month has anyone heard anything from Elbox? It would be good if they had some solutions for Amiga OS 4.0 and they could make nice $$$ for themselves.

Bring on the Shark,  :lol:

Yeah....now that we know Duke Nukem Forever is on the way, we'll have to change the tag-line to: "Which will come first, SharkPPC or OS5?"


*laughing hysterically*

Psss! dont tell anyone this, as its highly confidential The 'E' people are madly redesigning this secret card for a joint release with OS5 on Xmas day, its true I tell you! If all this sounds a bit fishy "please excuse the pun" my confidant who is allways reliable and wears a red suit with white trimmings told me they are working 24 hours a day somewhere up in Greenland, in order to keep us all happy.

@ Zyphoid.


Hey, Mate. There's this stuff you should try....


It's called Lexapro....


I think it might help you.


 :-?  :roll:  :-?


[EDIT] - By the way, you're not the one who started the thread, not to mention unless you work for Elbox and are said "designer" of their re-badged Sonnet cards, who gives a sh!t if you're "not amused"? Try being an adult.

[bigmac]

Really simple mate, if you dont like it then dont read it! its called freedom of choice I believe, have a nice xmas and for gods sake try and chill out.
seeya.

The joke is that Elbox will never release the Shark or the dragon for that matter

And jokes generally lose some comedic value once they have to be explained.   :roll:

But it makes me think: I understand that there are a number of cultures which lack a concept of sarcasm (probably a good thing.)  This is especially exhibited in its language as changing inflections actually change the meanings of a word.  Anyone on AO from one of these cultures or countries?

[monami]

jokes are even unfunnier if they aren't understood. or kept as in joke. is this an official statement from the company then? i'd like to read it! otherwise it sounds like trolling. :evil:

"Availability: Q1 2007"
"*) Production of SharkPPC cards will start as soon as the final version of AmigaOS4.0 for A1 is released."

"Production" means swapping the heatsink of Sonnet Crescendo 7200, in this case. Probably also reflashing the boards to make sure users can't use original Crescendo boards, and are forced to pay elbox premium.

Last Dragon update is from November 2006 when they were supposed to go for sale. They were supposed to go for sale January 2005, too, and every update since then, pretty much.

Isn't it even slightly funny that both products are still MIA?

You want the official word, then go to the real website, copy and paste their words to a post and include a citation.

Otherwise what you read on the Internet is just conjecture, or trolling.  ESPECIALLY around here :-P
