I usually stay as far away from Slashdot as I possibly can, but I actually lowered the threshold and read through all kinds of crap to get an idea of what's being said. 'Cause that's just how much I love you guys! ;-) I did post several "Anonymous Coward" posts (because I just don't want a Slashdot account), which may or may not improve things. > I wasn't expecting the "there are better and cheaper FPGA boards", > as we've been told that this is a "cheap" FPGA board.

It appears from my reading that a lot of the problem is just dyslexia -- e.g. people reading "3S400" instead of "3S4000". Also, there were some wild comparisons to much more expensive boards whose main advantage is apparently speed. So there seems to have just been confusion there. > I didn't see a single "I'm going to buy one". :-( I saw a couple of "I wish I could buy one" posts, but no, that's true. > The lack of "I for one welcome our FPGA overloads" is curious. :-) I'm sure that was terribly funny, but I have no idea what you meant. Maybe I'd need to know Slashdot better? What surprised me the most was the relative civility of the comments, you can see people actually getting informed and changing opinions, rather than the usually screaming match.
