Greetings from Taiwan - Page 4

garetjax · June 5th, 2007

Glad to see you made it okay, Rich. Every trip I take, whether it be overseas or in the US, there is bound to be something that goes wrong on it. Let's put a positive spin on this and hope that this rocky start you had is the one bad thing that went wrong and is now out of the way so you can start enjoying your trip worry free.

Damn, I envy you. Take a LOT of pictures man and be sure to post 'em!

The Thermaltake guys are also staying at the Dong Hwa hotel. Maybe you might run into Ramsom.

I actually had breakfast with Ram yesterday morning, and spent well over an hour at the TT booth. I'll be posting a pretty large article tomorrow, complete with a couple hundred pictures from various booths and from around Taipei.......needless to say I've been pretty busy

Best of luck to you Bro, I do hope you have fun.

Glad you are having a good time, at least better than the plane ride. Now relax and go get that happy ending. Err....um srry ms.caporali.:0

Keep saying stuff like that and it will be "Ms Caporali" instead of "Mrs Caporali".

The weather here has been pretty crappy, I haven't been outside other than walking from exhibition hall to exhibition hall. Although I did have lunch in the tallest building in the world today.

As I'm sure you'll notice, most of my energy has been focused on motherboards this trip, Tomorrow (actually, later today for you guys) I'll be posting a lot of pics of everyones new motherboards......needless to say I don't expect there to be a shortage of great boards hitting the market over the next couple months. I also need to say that DDR3 has gotten a cooler response from motherboard makers than I was expecting, with most focusing on high end DDR2 motherboards, at least for the foreseeable future

hmm, that's interesting, I would think they would be releasing a combination of DDR3 and DDR2 in the near future to kind of break DDR3 in.

After all of this, it's likely to take them a week, a can of Pam and a spatula to get his broke ass off the plane in Vegas.
