Alex, I thought the new NVIDIA board would be available
next month. Do you know that it is 4 months away?

I said *less* than 4 months away, ya notice?

Honestly, I really really don't care that much about any new video
cards.  My Voodoo3 3000 will last me for another 4-5 months or so, I
think.  And then, at that time, I shall see which cards are available,
and buy a new one.

For now, I'm just doing my best to fight the hype machine... no matter
who's it is this month. <g>
