Don't worry, not as bad as it seems - I just happened to be flicking through me Radio Times and saw the title of this film... http://www.radiotimes.com/servlet/controller?action=programmeDetails&pid=4427890&cid=49 |

No, it's okay. Channel 5 are unlikely to ever show a decent film. |

Speaking of Rutger Hauer playing a cyborg, Channel 5 does, occasionaly, (I think by accident) show a decent film. They had Blade Runner on the last time I bothered looking at the C5 listings (last year sometime). I'm so bored. Let's start a campaign to get Omega fitted with RDRAM support! Mmmm, 3.2GB bandwidth. |

Looks like the FPGA version will arrive about the same time as the custom chips. Both schedules for mid-April.
But in real money ? |

<cynic>
In real money, both will be bugged and need revisions to work, leading to a further 18month delay.
</cynic><optimist>
In real money, I'll receive one in time for my birthday on April 12th.
</optimist> <realist>
In real money, the custom chip is irrelevent, they've dumped it (that is, no asic, they'll use the fpga instead). The motherboard revisions will probably go fine and there will indeed be working prototypes by mid-April. Arriving in homes end of May.
</realist>
I think if we all start chanting 'Omega', we can speed things up a little.
Omega!
Omega!
Omega!
Omega!...

</realist> Interesting news indeed. On their site they say they have RISC OS 4.03 up and running (good!). And revisions are inevitable, but revising the configuration of a FPGA is a lot less traumatic (and less expensive) than fixing a bugged ASIC. Sendu is probably right we should see a prototype based on the revised motherboard by mid April (perhaps even in time your birthday mate). If that is the case and if the system is reasonably stable we should see a prototype by Wakefield, with the first batch released in mid to late May early June. Now cross all fingers and toes ...... |

I want a real proper time machine as endorsed on TV by that man who was played by Sylvester McCoy, Patrick Troughton and Tom Baker, amongst others. Who? I can't remember where they got it from, but it was from a shop beginning with T and with 4 letters (there's more than one...), but someone who I know bought a computer, looked inside, and found most of the components had been attacked with a glue gun rather than affixed with the more usual screws. Shocking. Problems with the sonic screwdriver, mate. |

*N*O*!* I want a real proper time machine as endorsed on TV by that man who was played by Sylvester McCoy, Patrick Troughton and Tom Baker, amongst others. I want a real proper time machine so I can go forward however far into the future when my Omega will be ready! I can't remember where they got it from, but it was from a shop beginning with T and with 4 letters (there's more than one...), but someone who I know bought a computer, looked inside, and found most of the components had been attacked with a glue gun rather than affixed with the more usual screws.
