    Was having a browse of news pages today. Here are some links:
    Phantom appears to be living up to the hype, with a 2GHz to 3GHz processor, a 120 GB hard drive and a WinXPe kernel that loads in eight seconds.
    http://www.dailygame.net/Articles/Previews/phantom_aug.phtml
    The unit will contain a Intel 3GHZ processor, 100gig hard-drive, 10/100 Base-T Ethernet card, four controller ports, 2 USB slots, Digital 7.1 surround sound support, S-Video/RCA components, and on-board RF wireless modules.

    I talked to the Tim Roberts guy on the phone when he returned my call ( 22 days after I left a message ) and when I asked him about all this...he HUNG UP ON ME. I asked him if he was looking for investors, he said "We are actively recruiting investors". I asked him if they had any consoles on hand, he said "We have several hundred prototype models here in the office". So then I asked him where the prototypes were made, he said "right here in our facility". Then I told him I had seen his 100ft x 100ft office space conveniently[sp] located next to Missing Link Art Gallery in the strip mall ( located at 5380 Gulf of Mexico Dr. Longboat Key, Fl 34228 ) and he went NUTS!!! "WHO THE F*** IS THIS!?!?! BLAH BLAH I'LL SUE YOU".

    It all seems like pie in the sky to me.

    I bet this little console just 'disappears'.

    Alot of good stuff.

    Hmmm, a valid point, never even crossed my mind..... Maybe I shouldn't have filled out that beta tester application....

    My scam alarm went off a little too late it seems...

    Wow!!!

    CyrixInstead and CBDroege, you guys have definately done your homework.

    Given the information you guys have pointed out, you have definately raised my skeptisism.

    Great work.
