:We were told that the Sirius video board from SGI (~$25,000) would allow
:video in texture. Unfortunately, the board we ordered more than 6 months
:ago still has not shipped because they are still ironing out hardware bugs.
:The latest date given for shipment is the end of May, but I'm not holding
:my breath.
Since I can't hold my breath for more than four minutes, I'd have to agree
with you. On the other hand, I do know that we've been swamped with
orders for Sirius and that the factory is working (quite literally) around the
clock to assemble and test over 150 of these boards for shipment this month.
Such are the problems with popularity--it seems that everybody wants
a Sirius video board, and wants it right now.
