now, and earned money with T5 ...
I somehow get the feeling he is not in it for the money, but rather a Marc Miller definitive version of Traveller.

I just want to thank you all for being civil. Its nice to have a T5 thread without accusations of doubleplus badthought..

How dare you accuse me of being civil.
There you go again, just attacking someone because they are being abnormal. (snicker)
Hummpph.

There is something about being downwind from you in there somewhere but we will let Dave keeps his illusions...

MGT will be fine. It's a strong seller and a popular product, which is as good for Marc and Traveller in general as for Mongoose.
If anything, T5 will be a potential resource for MGT players to mine for equipment, weapons, armor, vehicles, robots, starships, rules, etc. There are some compatibilities, and T5's approach to tangibles seems to complement MGT nicely.

All but perhaps two pages of text were written by Marc. And he's sold a few hundred beta CDs (I want to say 500, plus or minus, but I'm not sure).

From what I've heard, T5 was started LONG before Mongoose Traveller. At the time it was started, shortly after T4 concluded it was quite needed - yes, the situation has changed since this time period with the successful publication of Mongoose Traveller - and Marc decided to go ahead and publish T5 as a limited CD release only.
So - for those who want it - it's out there and that's better than being vaporware.
However, as we all know, Mongoose Traveller is THE current version of Traveller that is being published with lots of support and sales.
The art work in the books is OK. They didn't knock it out of the park nor fumble the ball either. I'd love a full color hardbound main book, like Gurps Traveller: Interstellar Wars, but the cost would be rather high.
