Re: ATI cards for free, last call!

I would love to have one of these cards.  I'm planning on building a new 
machine this summer and this would give me a huge head-start.  I'm an 
active member of the community and I'm getting into some development so 
I'd be glad to help with testing.  Just let me know if you're interested 
in sending me one.  Thanks!
