      Yeah, i thought the same thing when they cam out w/ the G4 mx420. Figures, the 420 was the "half baked" version.

      :-P

      Damn hippie drugs.

          To make a statement! If Hitler would have smoked Pot, there wouldn't have been a WWII (at least not as it happened)

                Who does remember the following statement of nVidias CEO:
                "Tiger Woods doesn't win every day. We don't deny that ATI has a wonderful product and it took the performance lead from us. But if they think they're going to hold onto it, they're smoking something hallucinogenic....''
                If the code-names relation to pot (=a hallucinogenic drug) was meant as kind of a response to this, I would find that extremely funny

                    The reason 420 is associated with pot is because that is the code the LAPD gives marijauna arrests (dunno if they still do, but they used to). That's the main reason anyway. It just so happens to fall under Hitler's birthday as well, etc...

                    Erm...and as a Jamaican would say: Hurray ATI!

                            Erm..I didn't know that? That's what all my friends say. I even have friends in LA who say that. Perhaps the LAPD use 420 in some way then, because everyone I've ever met that uh....puffs say that that is the reason the term 420 is used with pot. In fact I thought the date came later from the term? Ahh...the mystery of marijuana.

                              Someone probably knew the true origin of 420 one day, but hit the bong a bit too much and forgot. :P
