Dubious

Two of the sources cited are low quality: a forum, and an eBay user review. Neither is verifiable to a published author. These sources should be replaced by better ones. See WP:RS and WP:V. --Lexein (talk) 17:22, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have a proprietary manufacturer that does the usual FUD and implements copy-protections, uses "genuine" wording etc. What do you wonder about?

Article is frequently edited to insert product links

The business is not strictly closed but rather dormant while the owner decided on the future

I expect it will continue in some form or other. 103.6.151.53 (talk) 09:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We will need a reference to say that it is dormant. Stepho talk 11:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
