I hate to do this again, but I would like to direct this message to Haig. It would seem that there are a few things appreciative coming from Matrox. From what I have seen it appears that Matrox pays attention to what goes on here moreso than a few months ago. Alot more than what some may think.
First off, to the employees that are putting up with all the asinine remarks and incessant complaining you guys are da'man!
I haven't seen any Matrox employees ignore requests, and put down comments from anyone here, and that takes some character. I am very appreciative of the situation going on inside the company and for what you guys have had to work with you are doing a hell of a job.
Another point, it seems sales has turned from the dark side and is being more forthcoming to customers. My response from them was very positive, and they offered whatever they could do being in their position.
As for Haig's excellent sources of information for the customers as to their avenues for letting the company know to the demands from customers, he's been wonderful and it sounds like it's getting stuff done.
It's really neat, how participating in the forums and discussing has really changed the perspective I had. While the conclusions I have drawn are pretty much the same, nobody denied it. The entire attitude was "can't unring a bell, where do we go now?" Which is exactly what is needed.
I saw the same attitude from nVidia employees during the Riva128 days. As I have told sales time and time again, I volunteer my time in any possible way that I can. Plus, working for a Hospital I have snagged a small nice little deal for some Millenium P's to goto a few departments. I know that at least 20 cards should be ordered.
Everything lately seems indicative of some followup work being done to support the P more. Linux driver's current status, and where it looks like we're going with Vertex Shader 2.0.
What I am hoping is that the engineer-exodus has stopped or at least been stemmed.
I will still never forget the look on my face when I benchmarked the card on SSE:2 with FAA and it beat the GeForce4 in both quality and speed. Same for Unreal 2.
