Just to clarify things: '…ask someone who owns an R4000 Indy if he would have rather have waited for an R4600-based Indy that shipped for exactly the same price just a few months after the original was shipped.' Wouldn't the same apply to those who got the Raptor, only to then be later offered the Raptor+ for the same SRP "just a few months after the original was shipped?" The ShaBLAMM! is shipping now. It works just fine as a Screamer CPU on any existing ScreamerNet. It works with all current and future versions of LightWave, including the version of ScreamerNet that people buy to use your systems. (Which is, BTW, a generic ScreamerNet package.) Finally, perhaps you could explain the benefit of using a proprietary design, versus just reselling a widely tested product with more features? We've all seen where proprietary designs and the NIH attitude got Commodore. (And, while it may keep EE's busy, is it really more cost effective for the end user?)
