Where were you exactly, and what were you doing when your Matrox card arrived?

[HedsSpaz]

Hehe Lets see, well, since it was only last Thursday it shouldn't be too hard to remember.

I was at work at the time, and I spent most of the day tracking the package on UPS's site about every ten minutes. Heh I left work early that day.

Geez, it's only been a year and a couple of weeks, and I can't even remember where I bought it.

I was calling the front desk of my school every five minutes to see if it got there and then I ran out to get the stupid thing in the rain and ran back to get it. Unfortunately, it never worked quite right in my old system.... lol

I was at work, but watching UPS package tracking.
Just tracked that sucker in like an alien invader.
Nearly met it at the door.
I love new toys.

I tracked them (1st G200 in 98, then G400 a couple months ago)to my US MailBox in Florida, then delivered the mwave invoices to the company that clears the mailbox for me then badgered the crap out of them for the next few days until it cleared customs and was delivered to them at which point I left work early to collect them (having already dled the latest drivers

I was at my computer shop and I was returning that pathetic Diamond Viper 770 16MB video card (didn't work). Sadly they got it working but, I knew it wouldn't work for me. So I bought the G400 16MB Single Head for more than it was worth at the store, but I was worth it to me.

I remember what I was doing when I got my Mystique and then my G200. But I'm dammned if I can remember what I was doing when I got the M3d in between.

I must have been ill!!

It was on my birthday that my dad said "What should it be ? Voodoo 3 3500, Riva TNT2 Ultra (Asus) or a G400 ?"
And in the same day Matrox released the 5.31 drivers

I was at work. I'd ordered a G400max from Insight UK three weeks earlier and to my utter surprise it arrived.

This was at the time when they where as rare as rocking-horse-sh** and before I found MURC. I was so happy I even posted a message to a newsgroup I was subscribing to at the time (I forget which one) to tell the world that my card had arrived.

I ended up having to explain to people that I'd wasn't crazy. Has it got a fan on it? What did it say on the box....

Ah sweet memories... I'm filling up now.... I can't go on....

I was patiently waiting for the shop in Seattle that my Aunt uses to get computer stuff from for her work to get its first shipment in (I had it on backorder), when I got a call from a friend here in NZ who said he could get me one if I wanted.

One of his friends works in the shipping department of some big computer component wholesaler and had got his hands on a whole 3 32meg DHs for evaluation purposes. They had only ordered 2, so he was willing to sell one!

I got it the next day, and it only cost $2 more than getting it from America (not even counting freight).

I think I had the very first G400 in private hands in NZ!

It was another 5 weeks before I got an email from my Aunt saying she could pick up my backordered G400 if I still wanted it.
