It's real, and it's being shipped.

I saw a demo of the Transwarp GS last night at a local users group
meeting. The fellow got it last Sat. He had ordered it several months
ago from a mail order house for $299. He ran several pieces of software
with it including Publish-It.. Much faster than without the card.

He has tried it with over 30 major programs, and so far the only problem
he has found is withleworks 2.0 where it kept crashing into
monitor during certain functions, however with Appleworks 2.1 it works
very well.

Based upon the demo we saw, 7 people signed up for a group purchase
by the club of the card, so I am sure I was not the only one that was
impressed by the card..

By the way, in basic, the cursor flashes so fast, it almost appears solid.
