Its nice to know that some marketing drones aren't the usual cut and dried NDA type people:

Do you know how horrible your engineer?s lives will become with 256-bit of DDR-II memory interface running at 1,000 MHz next July 2003 ? We strongly recommend that ATI 9700 circuit engineers join Trident in sunny California, where the weather is fantastic, the beach is irresistible and the job is so much easier to enjoy ?. I personally believe that life is extremely short, so why kill oneself in such torturing job assignments ?

If one of your readers can afford a $399 card with 128MBytes, we strongly recommend that he spends $99 for Trident XP4 T3 card with 128Mbytes and spends the remaining $300 as follows: $49 for a great new PC game for himself, $49 for a new sport shirt for his Dad, $69 for a new dress for his Mom, $39 for another game for his brother, $39 for a new pair of stylish shoes for his sister, $49 for a new set of earrings for his girlfriend, and $6 for a bunch of California lottery tickets. Please explain to him the great new relationships he will enjoy for the next 12 months with his family + girlfriend ! The reason for our recommendation is quite simple: since life is so incredibly short, it is exceedingly important to take care of your loved ones. And if he is lucky enough, the winning lottery tickets will enable him to live a real life full of Hollywood fantasies !!

Read the entire interview for some great laughs, the not-so-perfect english is great.

BTW: I did a search for Trident + interview so forgive me if this is a double post.
