Hoopz:
For those who haven't read Tiger-Heli's stuff, here's a link:

http://tigerheli.mameworld.info/encoder/index.htm

I don't recall exactly but perhaps the TOKN16/32 was the last he did.  MattP could tell us. Oh, wait...no he can't.   >:D

Jeebus...

That Tiger Heli page is one complete treatise on the subject!

It's an encyclopedia of encoder info...
Donkbaca:
That tiger heli link IS cool! Nice to know the old folks on here can post useful things instead of telling noobs they are wrong and that street fighter sucks...

--- End quote ---

With just over 100 posts, I MUST be brand new to this whole thing too.  Ok.


--- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on May 16, 2011, 08:22:12 pm ---Nowadays we get people chiming in who have never even read TH's reviews (which really is required if you want your opinion to be taken seriously), yet expect to be allowed to stand on the lawn shaking their fists.

"Expect to be allowed", eh?  You got some set on you, man.
Bryan posts a new product announcement with a great deal of pride that anyone can clearly pick up on.  He makes his case very clearly for what sets the product apart, and answers all questions directly and promptly.  Then Ark_ader chimes in and tries and tear the guy down for God knows what reason, and I have a visceral response to it.  I've never uttered an ill word about anyone in this forum until today, so be it.  Whether a market is wide open is a matter of opinion, which several others have since voiced in this same thread (are they foolish as well?)  Whether ark_ader can get the same product at a lower price from Andy or Randy as he said, that's a proveable fact, and my challenge stands.  Had ark_ader so much as held the product in his hand before spouting off about it, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Again, you got some set on you, man.  That's fine, we'll let that pass.

From your original thread:

--- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on May 16, 2011, 02:44:04 pm ---The question that should be answered is what the advantages of the various options are. Just recognizing that they aren't clones of each other doesn't create any compelling reason to buy any of them and, to my mind, makes EVEGames' statement the most foolish, but not the most obnoxious (that honour goes to ark), statement in the thread.

--- End quote ---

Now that you know about some of the unique features like individual Shift functions, you change your tune and say it's the 'market' statement that makes my post foolish, instead of just admitting that you didn't take the time to read the 5th post before blasting me.

Bryan, I really do sincerely apologize for cluttering your announcement post with all this BS, and it will probably get me ostricized from the forum to stand up to Cheffo, but I don't like forum bullies who throw their 6,000-post "weight" around like that and tell supposedly junior forum members to shut up and let the grown-ups talk.  I can't just let that pass.  Let the consequences fall where they may.
Donkbaca:
Nah Cheffo is harmless, just keep the discussion civil and write off his bitterness to the harsh Canadian winters he suffers through
