If these things end out at a decent price they are going to sell like hot cakes.

Ideally Mesa 18.3.0 will ship next week unless blocker bug issues persist.

I must admit, I didn't really understand what that sentence was doing in this context ?

As soon as 8 port 5 gigabit switches become reasonably priced, I'm converting my network.

Does Realtek offer 5Gb? If not, I wonder why. Sure, I love the concept of 10Gb, but mostly, 2.5 or 5Gb would be great. 5Gb would really change things. But I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for a single port, when I can get a 4-port 1Gb ethernet card for $50-60. The single-port cards need to be under $40 for any other solution to take off.

BTW Micheal, don't you ever sleep? Watch your health. I think you're a family man now. Don't burn the candle on both ends.

2.5/5G should really take off in 2019 it's looking like, for consumer products...

Yes I usually try to sleep 5~6 hours a day. I have a wife and dogs, but that's been the case for years.
