Arrived back home (Cape Town) at a little after 1pm on Friday - which works out to close to 20hours of travelling! Only managed to recover enough to reply now :p: From all us South Africans at the event (press included), we had a great time meeting, learning & partying with you guys :D
Thanks to Asus, VR-Zone, FSP, Western Digital, Kingston & nVidia. And of course thanks to all the other competitors for a really friendly environment to participate in! I will try sort the msn list out later tonight, so expect a few invites soon :)
