Sept 19th, Huzzah! The recession is over!

[RussSchultz]

Well, I'm excited about it, though I can completely see how you're not.

Here

Perhaps here.

Certainly this is proof that the recession is over.

Sorry for leading you on. Too much fun. (Pshah! Like I know people that work at AMD and NVIDIA and might hear when certain products are coming out--oh wait, I do!)

Australian prices for video cards are going to go through the roof. $2000 for a 32MB Rage Pro anyone?

Good luck with the IPO, Russ!

Heh, talking about September 19th -- wasn't Futuremark supposed to make an announcement of some sort today, you know, about the benchmarking guidelines and what not? OK, there's still some day left, I guess . . .

It's been postponed until all the FM BETA members have a chance to look at the new guidelines.

That's quite cheap considering the average price for video cards in that range here in Australia is around $10K.

Congrats on your IPO. Looks like it whent fairly well up nearly 25% from $15 to $19.80.. Not bad.

 

[RussSchultz]

Actually, IPO's are apparently priced that way to have a built in 20-25% gain on the first day of trading. The IPO investors agree to buy the initial shares from the company at about 20% less than what they think the market price is. (So they can churn some of it on the first day and make their money)

It wasn't the .com IPO I had always dreamed of (instant millions for all of the rank and file), so it'll take continued hard work to add value to the company before I can move up to a deluxe apartment in the sky.

But I'm not gonna turn it down.
