        I see no problems with the word Never

        It isn't like matrox have tried particularly hard over the last few years to make the customer feel valued. So even if Matrox does release Pitoo, I don't think I want it. They have shown themselves to be sleazy and immoral whenever it thinks it can walk away with people's money.

          i honestly can't really find a reason to buy another Matrox product right now. Yeah, the image quality is better (and when using dual monitors i get overlays on both), but since i'm limited to 1280x1024 and am not running dual monitors....

          i can get better customer support from companies that acctually give a damn.... as well as getting a faster product... the benefits of Matrox just do not justify the negatives right now...

            I'm afraid the situation looks very bleak. Another round of layoffs, another 100 employees I hear and the closure of their Boca Raton facility, for those that don't know that is their main R&D arm. Combine that with the canning of Parhelia II and the question must now be when do Matrox Graphics close their doors?

              No R&D. Rest in peace Matrox.
              It's people like Haig that I feel sorry for.
              It also means continued blurry graphics.

                Well have any plans for the Future of the website then? Even though Matrox's Video Division doesnt look like its going to go anywhere any time soon unless Nvidia or ATI deside to go after them on that.
                Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

                  So what is being said is basically that Matrox has come to an end in the Gaming and 3d card market? Oh dammit and I was looking forward to future updates etc for Parhelia

                      either what GNEP said or we can just go on with what we're doing. talk about nice quality graphics cards (which will hard to get but anyway) and politics in the soap box
                      now about the frontpage, i dont know.
                      no matrox, no matroxusers.

                            Hold on one second ...hehe Matrox are not gone yet and until they are ppl, well they EXIST! .. So lets stop making presumtions until we know all of the facts. We dont know the exact financial position of Matrox and until we do then I think we should just sit tight and enjoy Matrox's quality
