    It's like a bad car accident. I don't really want to look at it, but for some sick reason I'm compelled to do it anyway.

      If it had been about an NV card that could do 3 monitor widscreen gaming, that "article" would have been 25 pages long.

          Actually I think that was a fair assessment, and my experience with Toms on earlier articles from tradeshows he usually only give 1-3 page comments on the places he/them visits...

                No, Tom is <I>extremely</I> cocky and too confident to realize the he's out of touch with technology.

                  Have you ever read a review that Tom actually wrote himself? In the old days he used to write all of his reviews, and they were actually very good. I dunno where you get this attitude about him from....probably from the other people that work for his site, because I would agree with you that they are. I wonder if Tom actually reads their reviews...

                      Tom's reviews were quite good, but that was at least 5 years ago. Then he really missed the boat with the AGP/PCI thing, and he's just drifted farther out of touch since then.
