A light year is a measure of distance, not time:
186,000 mi/sec x 60 sec/min x 60 min/hr x 24 hr/day x 365 days/yr
or 97,761,600,000 miles/year

so between 24 hours and 2,346,278,400,000 miles doest make much sense

well, it makes much more sense when you notice time here which is now 3:10 am and I have wake up 8:00am. so what would else you could expect?

I am just finishing my project for school for day after tomorrow. But I definately need some sleep.

ah... this email notice system is wonderful.

Regardless of where we start counting, what exactly are we counting????

One of these?
- Sheep
- Desperate outcries for hints/info in this forum
- The magic word (if you say it a set amount of times, something will be announced by Matrox)
- [insert your idea here]

I go for the magic word 'soon'

oooh! What number do we start the countdown with?

Can't say.

OK, let's make up a good place to start. Let's start the countdown from today until GDC. So let's see, GDC, starts on March 19th. That gives us 36 days left! Woohoo! Matrox is coming out(ok, announcing probably) with a new card in 36 days! Let's all hold hands and rejoice Our Farther, who art in Matrox, Hollowed be the Graphics card.....

Captain Marvel - That`s what I am expecting too after Haig`s comment !

Haig - I hope I don`t get you wrong there ...

Btw. this would match `M`s habit not to make major announcements on big trade / game / whatever shows.

Okay Haig ... what kind of system and monitor size(s) should I be looking at to purchase to go along with my shiny new Matrox graphics card? Am I going to need that new HDTV to go along with it?

[Sasq]

I'd say buy the HDTV anyway always looks good in the loungeroom

a quote from one of the IRCNet IRC channels by a user that sometimes writes here

[19:41] Inso: alkaa suu laulaan..

Maybe Tempest can translate this one. Honestly, I just can't right now. that is just too funny.

so, how about it ?

anybody from our Finnish delegation willing to translate ?

[Tempest]

Nothing very special there... Basically, Inso is just announcing that Ant and Haig will soon receive a box of kossu which Inso has so kindly provided in order to make them sing I recall that the same kind of tactics have been proposed and, to a certain degree, applied in these forums

Ah, you mean the CeBIT 2001-incident

We should threaten to put those pictures of Haig up again, unless...

Nah, that would be too cruel hehehehe

[borat]

the coming month or 2 would be a great time for matrox to announce. nvidia have just released an uninspiring souped up geforce3 while ati are just gonna release a tweaked radeon 8500 by the seem of things.
if matrox announced something which was a bit different then i'm sure they'd sell by the bucketload.
