On this day.

Just looked at the date. 9th of April. 3 years ago the GPL demo was released. I had a P133 at the time with a voodoo video card, ran Nascar2 like a dream but GPL saw it scrapped within a week. 3 years down the track I have had 2 computer upgrade and GPL is still in the number 1 position on my hard drive. Not 100% sure but isnt today the anniversary of Jim Clarks death. If so remember him too. Todd.

So the demo was released on the date Clark died at Hockenheim? (except 30 years later ofcourse). Anybody know this for sure? Andre >Todd. > > > >
