      Um. I've been told the G400Max's roam free like so many wild sheep around Toronto and you can get them there.

      Now. Before you mark me as pathetic, I live in Wisconsin so I'm not that far away - and would be willing to make the drive if this is true.

      Look! I've got little else to do! <8^\

      Is it true though? Is it true? (Anyone from downtown Canada <g> ? )

        I don't know about Toronto, but in Montreal you won't find a G400, much less a Max, on a store shelf. Save yourself a trip and get a TNT2 Ultra via mail-order instead.

        (That last was a joke.)

          I wonder if I could get one if I drove right to the Matrox HQ and handed them a fistful of amerikanskis?

            Hey agallag

            The US army has in the past used loud and abrasive music to wear down the resolve of opponents. Are you suggesting Canada might be able to accomplish the same with the music of Shania Twain? Hideous thought

              A G400 max was recently spotted near the north pole. How this rare species managed to get there and even escape from the Matrox compound brought a comment of no comment from matrox public relations.
              The G400 max is believed to living on diet of polar bears and Ultra Tnt2.
              When trying to capture the beast it escape with three bleeps and a blue screen of death.
              A further attempt left the pursing captors with serious vibrant colour damaged to the iris. On returning to there office they discovered that there TNT powered systems looked drab and dull.
              The G400 Max is still rumoured to be somewhere in the vincity of the northern hemisphere.

                Compusmart in Calgary is expecting to have vanilla 32Mb G400's on the shelf in about a week. Max's further into September. I think they've got the best jump on the situation in this area.

                  American going to do shopping in Canada? I
                  thought Americans and Canadians have a common habit of doing their shopping in a backward country across their southern borders...

                  And yes, no Maxes here on the Northern hemisphere either. (Actually I thought that
                  Northern America is on that hemisphere as well).

                  And please remember. It is not English that is the Universal Language. It is not Americanese. No, look at Star Wars. The Language is Bad English.

                    What? Shania Twain sings? I had no idea. I just leave the country music channel on mute

                          Hi guys,
                          A shipment of MAX's just arrived at the PC dealer I frequent in Toronto. I'm not saying where though, because I still have to get down there and pick one up! ;D

                          Also, where did this "a'boot" thing come from? Seems the yanks are really struggling with the canuck jokes...(although I admit loved "downtown canada")
