>> 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.
