I wonder if the Nvidiots would dare show their faces. Knowing that it is Matrox hardware running the show.

This is from the dev rel newsletter


Greetings, everybody!

E3 it literally just around the corner, and as many of you might know, it'll be a much more interesting show for us this year than in the last couple years :-). Most of you may have seen our little teaser (which is likely to now be a full-fledged public release): www.matrox.com/mga/

There's a couple main things that I wanted to touch on this time:

1) Meetings! I'll be at E3 this year alongside Alexis Mather, the Senior Developer Relations Manager. Can't quite say yet WHERE we'll be (it's a secret), but we'll have a HUGE presence at the show. I want to set up times with as many people as possible to talk about our upcoming product line, as well as a couple programs I want to start up here at Matrox that involve the lot of you.

Publishers - We need to discuss things such as beta distribution, QA requirements (with a new product on the way, you'll need some boards I assume :-), and what I think is an interesting business proposal. It'll be worthwhile to set up a meeting that includes not only QA staff and/or Producers, but Marketing staff as well.

Developers - Obviously we need to discuss the new features we'll be demoing at the show on our new card, and how best you all can implement them. To be cryptic again, one of our major new features will be demonstrated in a way I'm sure you've never seen...

Anyone else - How did you get on my developer list? Just kidding - drop me a word back and we'll meet up.

I'll actually be there setting up as early as the Sunday (the 19th, I believe) so there'll be plenty of time pre-show to get together too.

2) New DevRel Site!!!! Yes indeed, finally (after way too many years) the DevRel site is getting an overhaul. I can't give an exact date when this'll be online, but it'll be next week, before E3 hits. Some new features include: access to old drivers, formalized bug report submissions, personal login/password, a much more user-friendly navigation scheme, and purdy new colours (that's obviously the best part :-). Of course, since you're reading this on the new website, you already know about this :-).

So, in a nutshell, drop me a word back and we'll get the E3 ball rolling. Some of you have already e-mailed me suggesting times, and I thank you for that. Send me those times again though, since I'm just now starting to build my schedule.

long live matrox!

I expect a detailed report from every murcer that visits E3, and if a murcer wins a parhelia, then i expect atleast some submissions in the benchmarks forum.

I do expect something like this: little (a desk+chair+unremarakble door) cabins of Matrox are scattered everywhere in the pavilion in chaotic manner. A visitor comes to the stand, glares at the logotypes and at the forever memorized Parhelia specs, at empty space around, at business-like passer-bies. His attention is summoned by a door and a seneschal of the door. The seneschal offers to pay 10$ entry deposit and open a door guesting entering into a dark pass.

A stair descends to a HUGE staduim-like cavern filled with PC stations with Parhelia onboard. Microphones translate echoes of numerous cries "Oh my GOD!". "JESUS!" and so on.

... Ñrazy zombified matrox users climb thru hatchways (I guess near ATI/nVIDIA stands) back to the real world and staggering mindless to the exits not giving any sign of attention to brightly arranged heaps of Titaniums and Redeons.

i hope, ADOM will run fine on Parhelia
