This is hilarious:

Remember, we're talking about a graphics card here. Kung Fu stuntmen.... could you possibly imagine this much fanfare for an ATI VGA-wonder back in the day?

They could do the demo and then show you Commander Keen at a whopping 15 fps...

Seriously, he had confidence, but he overdid it so much, he sounded lamer than the guy who went into technical detail right after him. And that's say A LOT.

i found the presentation to be just as good as how nvidia launched the geforce fx name months back that on show in las vegas. except the fact that nvidia's was alot cooler, due to the fact that there wasn't a radeon guy... but hey, i have to give ati pointers on their good taste in music...
