Hi All
I just happened to click on an old link to the Ei Technology web site and notice that they have built a new site! Very strange as it has been just a holding page for over a year.

Are they still going to be a part of EIAS future?

Very strange indeed...
Looks like a mockup of a 3D site using old EITG press releases from 2007.
Someone simply got hold of the name that wasn't used anymore. What could be the point in doing this?

its really odd. there seems to be a german element to it as well. I suspect the holders of the domain are in germany.
and they are added post to the wordpress which is powering the site.
no good can come of this.

Hi I just clicked the link and hope its not some kind of scam but I have always wondered if EIM IS still being developed and will finally come out.

Very strange. They have a complete blog in german. But all about animation in general and blender.

And back they are. For me this looks like a dummy page. The German text is written (or translated) by amateurs, and contains information that matches the age of the linked products. Back in the time when animation was magic. Nothing there actually is current or serious.

This is what it looks like, when you're developing the structure of a website, filling it with placeholders. Maybe the owners think that nobody sees them, as this is a "dead" domain.

I am in Germany, too. What's your point?

Bernd, I'm sure Michael simply meant there is something fishy about this not because it comes from Germany but because it clearly is not from the original American eitechnologygroup. Do not take offence.

Hi Bernd,

I didn't mean that because it was German that no good come from it.
But rather that it wasn't related in any way with the American eitech from Texas.
I would have said the same if it can from holland or France :-)
Also I am of German heritage myself so I would have offend myself.
Which I don't like to do :-)

Mickael,

as I said: don't worry, everything is well. I just was curious what you wanted to say, as a link between eitech and Germany wouldn't have been something impossible. There have been times when Ramjac had been (or would have been) interested in such a link/collaboration/association in any form. However, this is "water under the bridge" or "Schnee von gestern", as we would say in Germany :)

I suspect that bottom-feeding domain companies grab names they think they can sell later on. This site doesn't look like anything. It looks pretty generic.

I once let a domain name expire that I'd used for a while, and within a day
a company in Texas was trying to sell it back to me for $20,000!
