The i7-965 was the first time I got to play with pre release hardware.
My feeling is nothing but Thanks for the opportunity.
I'm never going to be at the speeds you "fast" guys are but that doesn't diminish my feelings at all.
Back to the main point here:
So Francois has Intel find him some uber good chips and takes them to Fugger's house and they test.
Did he in any way try to be deceptive on what he was doing? No.
Was he totally up front on exactly what he was doing? yes
I don't see the need for people to be so upset.
Really, I just don't get it.
I hear the calls of cheat, and I hope this doesn't go to HWBot,etc and it sounds like sour grapes to me.
Face it, Francois picked a guy he knew, that was also reasonably close in distance to and had the cascade and experience with it so that the testing would go well.
If I can see it this clearly then why can't some others here?
Sit back and just enjoy the show.
We have a saying at the WCG section here:
Leave your ego's outside the door and enter as friends.
Worth thinking about huh?
