Lets stop this now!

[Manoj Mahtani]

Hi!

This is getting funnier and funnier.

I don't understand how come you don't understand why I had posted.

Ok! Let me explain it to you again.

I posted the Oh! No threads so that everyone can read and see my posts. (I achieved this already, thanks)

Secondly the reason why I wanted everyone to know is that I like you guys like the G400 Max and would like to get it. So in May (before Matrox even announced that the G400 Max can be ordered online), I ordered my G400 Max in Hong KOng. I was told by the Matrox office in Hong KOng that the G400 Max will release by end June. Fine I was patient.

Then later Matrox says in July and then end july and then early August and then now mid August.

The other thing is that why Matrox only accepts pre-orders for customers in USA, Canada and Europe but not Asia. If I knew that Matrox will fulfill pre-orders online first then I would have ordered online and would have got my G400 Max already.

Then I am now hearing about new products from NVidia and 3DFX. I know they will release this year since I have my sources. I don't care since whenever they release I will buy them for sure.

But then what about those who spend their hard earned money to buy a good card soon to know there will be a better one soon. I speak for all. A card that was supposed to release a month or two ago has not even shipped to retail stores yet.

I have nothing against any of you guys. I don't know why you guys are after me like as if I am wrong to speak out.

Fine continue to post Oh! NO! threads. I don't care but why don't you sit and think why are you doing this when you already got your G400. You should be using it and enjoying your games rather than sit infront of the computer and posting pointless threads.

I already apologized many times that I am sorry to offend anyone regarding my posts. But seems like noone even cares.

If you don't like my threads you can tell me nicely to stop and may be I would stop but you like to make things worse.

I too am waiting very anxiously for my G400 Max. If you like your card, I like it too but the only difference is that I haven't got it yet. I will soon (that is if Matrox doesn't pull out another delay)

Regards,
Manoj Mahtani

Oh no you're not getting a little grumpy are you. We're not after you don't be paranoid.

[Manoj Mahtani]

Ok!

Lets stop posting Oh! NO! threads.

I only posted them 2 times.

I and many people come to this forum to learn about problems and how to solve them not to come here to argue and pass on sarcastic remarks.

Regards,
Manoj Mahtani

Manoj seems to be a big troublemaker. Why can't he just stop posting completely, as he promised in some of his stupid posts.

[Manoj Mahtani]

What!

I am the trouble maker? I said I will not post anymore Oh! NO threads.

In anycase I am not going to sit down and read all the sarcasms that is going on about me.

I will stop if you guys stop. Why are you guys so much after me. Did I post any more Oh! NO threads? No! You guys don't understand why I posted in the first place.

Regards,
Manoj Mahtani

Manoj:

We know why you posted. The problem is that every time you replied, you replied:

"Ok guys, I am sorry for posting what I did, but now the NV10 is out for sure!"

If you have a gripe about Matrox, we love to hear it. That's what half of the content of these boards is - people complaining about Matrox. But we got your point immediately. After the first post. Not later, not eventually, but right away. And we objected to the way you posted, as well as the content of the posting (speculation and wild rumor about releases of upcoming cards).

And every time you posted, every single response, you were more and more clueless. I'd pull a few but people can (and have) read them themselves. We KNOW that you're upset with Matrox, but we don't want to hear the fact that you believe every stupid rumor on the Internet about non-shipping products.

Argh, I'm spending WAAAAY too much time on this.

As for the amount of time we "waste" flaming you, you must understand - I, like many others, have been committed (and should be committed!) for quite some time to supporting the hardware I use, since I am somewhat more knowledgeable than the average bear. So I lurk on these boards each day while I'm at work, and help where I can, and participate. That's what makes this board work.

You don't get it, so I'll stop trying now. Bye.

Manoj Mahtani, its not you some of us just have nothing better to do all day and post stuff here (me im at work on a mostly locked down pc nt 4 compaq deskpro with a user interface that crashes left and right i was lucky enugh to figure out a way arouynd security so i could install netscape com on it but thats about it games refuse to work and short of risking my job and stripeing my system i can't do much else on it. oh the pain a t1 connect to the net and no way to play games with it.) oh i got of subject there a min. anyway we don't mean to be mean and rude or maybe we do its just that some people make good targets. i don't think its personal, its just that most human beings are as*hole's.

------------------
about time i change this, i spend about 4 hours a day reading the posts on this site and get paid to do it ,now isin't that a great job? oh you want pain how about this halflife works on the nt machine at work but as soon as you patch it to the latest version it dies a horible winblows nt4 death of dll errors.

Hehehe. I am using a Ford computer, running Win 3.1, that connects to their LAN through the internet. All other web pages were blocked. I changed a few files to allow access to all pages, and Viola! I am browsing using ford's proprietary Browser, viewing web pages it was never intended to see.

Gurm:

Hey man! I not once posted anything against G400 Max. I know it is a very good card. The point is that I am hearing that the NV10 will release. It may be in September or December. If I haven't got the G400 Max yet and Gods knows if I do receive it in August. If not then what do you expect me to feel when I haven't got a card and a better card is rumoured to release soon.

It is Matrox that I was pissed at not the card or anyone of you.

I posted a topic which you guys could have read and ignored completely. Instead you guys started to flame me and passed on many sarcastic remarks on me.

I know you are proud of your investment. I too want to get the G400 Max and am waiting to get it. If you can have it then why can't I when I already paid in full for it?

Anyway, I apologize if I have offended anyone in this message board. This is not what I was hoping to achieve. I hate to make enemies. This message board is for us to learn about peoples problems not to flame them.

Regards,
Manoj Mahtani

Matt,

Is it a Ford T-1 PC???

It is not a T-1 PC, it does use a satellite link up.

Maybe the solution for Manoj would be to just wait for the next gen cards tocome out and then make an informed descision after the reviews are in. I used to do the "hell it's new I know someone will buy my old one", but it got pointless after awhile cause the cards came quick and furious. When will Feature rich, and fast enough come to an end? never. You'll buy something now and 3-4 months down the line need to buy something that's even faster with "more features" I for one am sticking with my G400 until it cannot keep up with the games that are here now and are near release, when games can actually use the features of NV10 (which I would never buy cause Photoshop and my eyes hate it) and whatever card 3DFX pulls out of their hat come around then I "might" consider upgrading, but til that time the G400 is more then enough card for my machine.

[The PIT]

I haven't flamed you Monoj I told you you're getting paranoid matey.

[Buuri]

Come on guys! It was fun while it lasted, but sometimes it serves more NOT to post what you think if it could offend someone!

Manoj is obviously not aware of the pace this industry moves on, but surely every one of us has been annoyed about that at some point.
But what response did he get? Some Matrox fanatics crying for him to stop reminding that their shining new adapters are old in a couple of months. That is the truth!

I think it would be best just to drop this for good.
