The owner of my company actually called me into his office to show me how cool the monkey was. He sent a group email to all the managers with a link to the bonzi buddy website so they could get it to!

I can't believe that there is only $500M in retail computer sales in the US each year! I mean, how many Staples/Office Depots/Best Buys/Fry's do you guys have and combined they can only manage $500M?
With ~290M people that would mean that the average person spent $1.72 towards a new computer.
Yes, I know I'm going a little far with that one, but I think $500M is just way too low.
3DMark03 is such an unreliable and poorly programmed piece of code that it is all but completely useless as a benchmark. This was not an attempt at artificially inflating 3DMark scores it was simply a bug in the drivers that affected the calculations when clipping and culling.
I think that Kyle at HardOCP said it best when discussing this issue he said "Finding a driver bug is one thing, but concluding motive is another." Look up his comments on Thursday May 15, 2003 if you want to read more.
