Savage add in card win at A-Trend. Yes A-Trend. Haven't heard of them you say, well i see them in PC magazines selling motherboards. That's about all i can tell you. I keep trying to decide whether to frustrate myself anymore and upgrade/rebuild my Pentium 120 via a new motherboard. If i decide too, then you can count on at least one Savage3D sale from STB. In any case i will be getting a new 450 - 500mz Pentium II this fall and i am hoping for a Micron with a Savage3D card.

Off Topic: Ski, did you ever hear about the yearly Purdue tradition, the Nude Olympics? Every year on the coldest night of the year there would be a race around the inside courtyard of a huge 4 sided dorm. The contestants would remove their clothes and run around this track, in varying states of nudity and sobriety. Most were totally nude. To keep from freezing to death, most coated themselves with vaseline and wore only sneakers. The crowd which would swell to several thousand, crowded the inner courtyard and hung out of dorm windows for one heck of a party. There always were quite a few women who participated, not just all guys. I could never bring myself to participate, I was already freezing my ass off while all bundled up in the subzero weather, drinking a beer.

Well, it looks like we'll have to quash another rumor. It seems, after some difficulty, Proctor and Gamble was able to pull out of the deal.

Don,

Indeed.

Since SIII is quite toxic at the moment and most of the shareholders are in shock, they obviously pulled out with no strings attached.

Onward,

George
