>> Its a good thing DPS was not present … Matrox would have been embarrased. << That would have been worth the price of admission! }:-0 That is one thing that has really been teeing me off, is that they haven't got their act together. Its sloppy and there is no excuse. I know its going to be a good product when there finished with it, but come on guys lets get professional! That impression that they left you with really disturbs me, and I resent the B.S. involved, as I'm sure you do too. >> The big deal at the show was the Power PC… << So far I'm not impressed. I don't like the name or the implication, and it makes me wonder if its not just a lot of marketing hype. The American obsession with Power blatantly exploited. I like the name DEC ALPHA or AXP, those are cool. <g> "Power PC" sounds like a bunch of pin-stripes on Pogo sticks. (Yes I'm ranting but what the heck…) I looked up to read exactly what you said just paraphrased differently. <g> We concur to a T. >> More vendors were taking orders now for vaporware than in years before. I can believe it, nobody knows what's going to fly and in the uncertain market nobody wants to take a chance. "Scarry" is a good word for it. >> Looking forward to Siggraph. Hoping this show will be more reality. << Ironic, isn't it, that the ulitimate in fantasy would be financially more grounded. Sign of the times. <g> Thanks for the rundown. As usual very cogent.
