To paraphrase your own words (and the exact words can be found in your
post)  'GCR has left the field of vaproware.'  Explain to me why you
labelled GCR vaproware when you yourself could keep tabs on its
development and delays on nie?  Could it possibly be that because you
didn't get your SLM804 support from a one-man company and spend WEEKS
harrassing Mr. Small on every Net you could find, you decide to give
GCR a 'vaporware' label even though you knew when it was coming out?
Give it a rest, I respect your knowledge, I don't respect your 'labeling'.
Truth is that few computer products appear on time - if you really want to
complain go to the Mac base and critize Apple for the laptop (brick) delay, no
a one-man operation that has done a damn good job.
