Hi Derek,

That's an interesting site.

One of Katy Pluta's recent posts re graphics cards contained a link
to
a Russian site, and the testing/comparisons were extremely well done
(well,
I thought so, anyway).

Some of those guys must really know their onions over there.

Regards,
John


To paint with a broad brush, the Russians are somewhat unscrutable geniuses
when it comes to engineering and technology, not to mention aeronautical
engineering, they built a Space Shuttle as well, recall. However, there
aren't enough rubles in Lenin's Tomb to get me up in that death trap. Recent
sad events notwithstanding.

Perhaps it's due to the lack of wealth and need for amassing of wealth in
their culture that enables them to explore avenues of science that have
little economic merit, it explains the whiling away the hours playing chess
against super computers and writing computer virii.
