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