    I absolutely love your user name! iBlank (noun): The state of the Apple Fanboi's mind. Anyways, what does it pay? Most legit market research I've done pays pretty well. [Edit] I wasn't trying to pick on your name. If you knew my last name, you would understand that I'm completely sympathetic.

    Seconded... I'm a techie and a gamer, but if I'm going to donate a half hour of my time (Along with as many cell phone minutes, as I don't have a land line) to market research, I expect some compensation. ... particularly since the bug reports I've submitted to ATI/AMD in the past have clearly been ignored, and my system continues to show screen corruption and crash after waking from hibernate and playing any of a number of DirectX titles.

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

          As a book reviewer, you get a copy of the book and a mention. I'd hope, at least, for some AMD stuff and my name being written on the chips.

                  I’m seeking your help to reach out to people who: • Like to play games OR use more than 1 display OR like to do home video editing OR are video-savvy • Are not AMD employees • Who would be willing to talk on the phone for 30 minutes about how they use their computer/graphics system (no preparation required) Volunteers will be interviewed over the phone by contractors who are currently conducting research on how people use their graphics/display environment. It’s to improve usability of the product I am working on - AMD Catalysis Control Center. If you are willing to be interviewed pls. email uitesting at gmail.com Or ilia.blank at amd.com Best Regards Ilia Blank

                          I didn't mean to blast the guy, just that his name happened to form a humorous nonexistant Apple product when abbreviated.
