   Idea: produce something, no more vaporware. 

   In the past 6 years I've been on csa2, there've been a LOT of addon
cards 'announced' and never delivered. Graphics boards, ethernet
boards (I can count at least 2 or 3), DSP boards, addon processor
boards, etc. [And that's just hardware alone...] Lots of broken
promises tends to make everyone jaded about plans without actually
produced items.

   When announcements are cheap and easy to make, but few actually
deliver on their promises, people just ignore you until things are
actually completed. Stop the "cheerleading" and mindless posts in
support of something and actually DO work. Then things'll happen.
