Forgive my sarcasm: Wouldn't it be funny if some of our competition, not knowing our specs due to the hidden roadmaps, actually worked overtime to stick in a few features because they thought we would have them? THen laugh all the way to the bank because their chips have features that the almighty TDFX doesn't have? Isn't it great that TDFX kept Banshee in the dark for so long...they didn't want anybody to figure out their top secret design feature: 16bpp color in 3D and 1x AGP! Isn't it great how nVidia's deception has so completely pissed off Carmack, Hook...hell, every important designer with a voice on the web. Oh, wait...they love TNT. It must be Banshee I'm thinking about...oh, wait, they haven't said anything about Banshee- except that it brings nothing new to the table. Speaking of nVidia's deception, aren't you glad they didn't go public and you don't own any of their stock? You could've piled up pretty big losses by now! And speaking of the lying bastards at nVidia, don't you feel 100% better owning the stock of such honest folks at TDFX? Honest, yeah, thats what they are: Banshee in Aug/sept, Plenty of V2 demand, DIMD not a problem, Flat earnings for Q3, Banshee the fastest 2D/3D when it comes out. All honest mistakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am still long and part of the damn stomach brigade thing. Where our motto is "Getting a little pain in my left shoulder". As for the WSJ quoting they guy who said to sell now and get in the que...they said that guy was right? Selling woulda cost you 10% on the day. I sold a chunk on the open, and bought it back (higher- duh) not long after. Hey, who could be happy with only taking the loss once from open to close? Us go-getters gotta lose twice to feel that sense of acomplishment.. Jeff "anyone know CPR" Lins
