"Well as some of you may know, its our third birthday coming up at the start of May. We opened in May 2002.
As the first celebration for this, our good pals at ATI have offered up a lovely X800 AGP 512 meg board for grabs to one lucky winner !! ATI know not everyone has made the move to PCIexpress yet so this is one hell of a nice win for someone needing an upgrade.
To enter this competition, just post a funny ATI slogan in this thread, the only commitment for entry is that you must have 10 forum posts.
Ill be closing the competition at the end of May, so you all have plenty of time to enter, its a fun thing so you can also enter as often as you like and the winner will be picked from a panel of ATI judges so get your imaginations going !"

On April 1 2005, Encyclopædia Britannica, The Ligatured Encyclopædia, announced its immediate semi-hostile takeover of the Wikimedia Foundation (to be known henceforth as Wikimædia) and all of its projects, including Wikipedia (now Wikipædia), Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, and Wikinews. Founder Jimmy Wales, giving a brief statement to the New York Times from his Maui survivalist compound, was reported to be "extremely pleased" with the £633.7 million severance package given to each of the five-and-a-half trustees of the Wikimædia Foundation. Wikipædia is best known as the "encyclop[a]edia" that any old fool can edit.

Today, a consortium of technology companies lead by Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, and Niko Mac announced the formation of the Travels In Time consortium. The consortium was founded by the pioneer in flux capacitance, an optoelectronic switch that folds space, Dr. Frank Herbert of the University of Ardknox.
The machine works on the basis of work done in the field of time bending by Professor Barnum of DeVry University in Northridge, California.
"We have examined Professor Barnum's research and can endorse his findings fully. It is pretty clear to anyone with half a pizza for a brain that a quantum metaphysical state of absolution can be recreated inside of a vacuum from a non-Hoovermatic, and thereby induce anti-matter in the fourth dimension, creating origami-like folds in time. Then, yáll can just zip right on through." Said a spokeperson for the WWF.
