Several PPC cards on Amibench

[JaXanim]

I've just had a reply to my email to 'TT' on 17 March. He's been travelling, but is now back. He confirmed receipt of my cheque and promised delivery next week.

Anyone with outstanding emails or new queries should get more response now.  

Cheers,

JaX

Got one a little while ago too:

I sent it by "Deutsche Post" (german post). It have to come at least next
week.

I also got confirmation that my money had turned up and that he will be posting it tomorrow.

As for RAM, I am lucky. Where I work, we went through and upgraded a whole bunch of old machines and the memory that came out of them was 32Meg EDO Simms, so I am set. I just need the card to turn up to use them in now

Are they 72 pin though?

Hello,

I also got a reply from him when checking email this morning. He said it would take 10-14 days for me to recieve it, or so that is what they told him at the post office. Hopefully it shouldn't be long now then. Any other news?

Email exchange:

> How long will it be before i recieve the accelerator.
> Just wondering, as it has been just over a wekk now.

Yes- but it needs 10 - 14 days (they told me at the post office).

Indeed they are. I am currently using 4 of them in a CyberStorm MKI (Which doesnt't seem to like OS3.9 )

Quick update... got an email today from Bernt, saying sorry for not replying sooner, and that my card was mailed on the 17th.  But it'll take between 7 and 14 days for delivery.

Anyone else got theirs yet?

It's friday and I've checked my mail for today and still nothing. I've also received a reply to my question, so I guess as long as we stay in touch I am not too worried, but damn...now I have to wait until Monday, or more.

I hope that I'll get the card sometime next week. This waiting and anticipation are killing me. :-(

There's an old English proverb which seems appropriate here.

'Everything comes to him who waits'.

I've found it to be so true and quote it to myself as often as necessary.

Cheers,

Yes, but is the one you are looking for is:

Pessamists never recieve nasty surprises !!

Seriously, from what you and others have said he seems genuine - why bother to respond to all of your e-mails if he has recieved your cash if he is only after shafting you??

I would not worry too much if I were in your shoes.

But KEEP US UPDATED = only coz its better than "Days of Our Lives" !! :-D  :-D

@AccyD

Yes, how bitter-sweet is this thread! We're already onto page 8 and nobody's even received their card yet! This will certainly be so if the Deutsches Postes is as tardy as some would suggest. Indeed, it could well become the most read thread in Aorg history!

Or not: for we all know that once they have all arrived safe and sound and have got settled into those towers and desktops, this thread will surely die. Oh what will we have to talk about then...??

I suppose the difference between pessimism and optimism would be a good topic...? And as far as that goes, I believe pessimists always live longer than optimists. Well they would wouldn't they...?  Think about it.

According to him, i should recieve it by near end next week, as he sent it 2 tuesdays ago and he said it would take between 10-14 days. But i might treat this like the Amiga OS 4 release date and double his prediction! :-P I suggest everyone else do the same, as he seems geniune and he replies still to emails/queries.

[JaXanim]

So, it's Optimists..2 so far.

Anyone else wanna join?

@ Jax

Don't forget - [To paraphrase the footie community] It's not over 'til the postman sings!! :-D

[JaXanim]

@AccyD

Er, I think that should be the fat postman....it's not over till the fat postman sings. Well, it's something like that.

And our postman is fat. In fact he's very fat. That's a good sign I think. (Optimism)

On the other hand, I never heard him sing. He never sings! (Pessimism)

Doh....

Just thought I should mention that I still haven't received my card. :-( Any luck, anyone else?

It was "sent" to me 16 business days ago or if we count the weekends too, then 22 days. Meanwhile I received another package from Germany (also a BPPC card but from another person) and it arived within 3 business days by airmail! I'm not kidding. I paid 12EUR for that shipment and 30EUR for Tibor's, and look at the difference in receival time. I'm not jumping to conclusions yet, but I am very close to...
