This converstation was overheard at the id Software offices this weekend.

John - "Damn bastards, the ATI folk. They leaked the alpha."
Xian - "We've got to punish ATI somehow for this."
John - "I know, I'll cripple performance on ATI cards. I'll just insert a sleep() function call here and half the framerate when I detect an ATI card. That will teach them."
Xian - "Excellent."
John- "One more thing..."
Xian- "Yes?"
John- "I've got missles."
Xian- "Oh really...."
John- "The aerospace tests are going
better than planned."
Xian- "Excellent! I'll get ATI's address."

I hope john does't get too pissed. Hey, I haven't heard a single person yet that said it sucked, so he can atleast be assured he's doing a good job so far :)

Nope, I for one can't wait for it to come out. Of course, I may have to reconsider buying that Radeon 9700 Pro video card.
