Well, all I can say is that it was pretty amazing. Yeah, I did get ahold
of one of the leaked beta versions and just couldn't believe the software
tweaks that were accomplished. But since I didn't get all the readme's
about the necessary heat shield modifications, I only got about 5 minutes
play time (about 150 games) before my Archos became a glowing puddle of
plastic and metal. How on earth did you guys manage to achieve the
1.5Ghz clock speed and 10,000 RPM drive performance anyway???

I guess I'll just have to be more careful next time. You'd have thought
I learned my lesson back in my Amiga days...
