Re: TransWarpGS Clone Preorders open!

I'm going to point something out here.   Fraud isn't something new to users of Old Computers.  I bet most the big players here can tell stories about stuff that was "going to be made" that they paid for "preorders" only to never see their money again, nor the product.

You claim you have boards being made, yet you have no proof of it, and you want people to plunk down $180 on your word.  Then worse, you get all offended because some people said something.   And worse, you don't even have a test batch, you do NOT know that these will run.  No proof, no test batch.  If i could afford to buy one, I still wouldn't do a preorder, unless you can get someone people backing you up that you are actually making a product.

If this butthurts you, then next time do your homework.  Provide pictures, and test it out before you start taking preorders, because in my experience, shit just doesn't work like that, usually there is other problems.

I wasn't going to say anything about this being really sketchy, until you went off on someone, now I'm pretty sure it's fake, and it's going to take actual proof to convince me.
