State Of Matrox; A VigilAnt Perspective

[jswcpm]

just my two cents....

releasing a new card without Windows ME or below drivers was/is a big mistake - why limit your market??....i for one, am happy enough, with Windows ME and reformating my hard drive every six months and starting over is not a painful procedure.....spending another $100 for an operating system -until at least the first service pack comes out like now - stopped me from being first in line....

announcing there will be a better card (256k) also delays purchase of the new card - i have a 400 Max with RR - why should i run out and spend $$$ for a new card if a newer card is soon to follow -

i have been and am a loyal Matrox user since the Mystique....for me, they are easy to install, use, and up-date and give a fine product- this, together, with web pages like this one - give me a high level of confidence when i build my computers (for fun)....

i hope that Matrox will see that they have a following and that they come-clean with their future products....

i still plan to upgrade to XP and buy a 256 k card ----but don't need to run out and spend $300-$400 for a video card every year - well, maybe every two to three years....

I don't doubt they are, but reading and getting the point may be two different things..

Any chance Ant could see if there are visits to VigilAnts thread belonging to a certain IP in Canada?

Only if they are viewing the thread at the same time that Ant checks, vBulletin doesn't log ip's afaik.

The cause of this seems to be the same cause that I described then. Mismanagement by people who need to step aside and allows those who know what the winds are in the industry (people like Haig and his staff). Matrox's owners need to step up those in charge of the development of the Parhelia and those who made the key decisions that crippled the project and fix them. Right now, ASAP, the sooner the better.

I could not agree with your assessment more if I had written it myself.

I hate to say it, but I am glad I put off the purchase of the P.

Come on Big M!! Get with the rest of the industry!!

Server logs will tell. Matrox IPs are also easily recognizable.

True, didn't think of that. Still, vbulleting itself doesn't log ip's

[Sasq]

hmm you really wanna go through a server log the size of murc's?

[Wombat]

It wouldn't be that hard. Just grep for the partial IP of matrox's subnet.

[DGhost]

mmm, grep... the sysadmins tool of choice...
