I was a little upset this morning that there wasn't any new R420 information out since the rumors had the NDA being lifted today, so after I ranted a bit at Beyond3D and then went and ranted a bit more at Rage3D, I thought it might be a better idea to try ranting at ATi and seeing if that helped.

So I did, and Patti Mikula got back to me in about 2 minutes with some info. Wanna see the correspondence? Read what I wrote and her reply right over here.

Ok, I have been patient just as long as I find myself capable of! PLEASE tell me some details about the upcoming R420; you don't want me to get so worked up over this that I have another heart attack and can't cover the actual launch, do you?

You ain't gotta spill everything, but could you please release SOMETHING new and concrete about my dream of the last year or so...I'm really, really intrigued and darn it we have all been counting on hearing something today!

Impatiently yet still respectively and with lots of hugs,
John Hayden

PS-If you don't want to tell everyone anything, just send me one to play with and I'll keep quiet about it 'til the actual release date.
