Happy Birthday to Mitch AKA ReaX, who's been involved with AusGamers and OCAU for years now.

Strange things going on with the Hard Disk Drive manufacturers at the moment. Maxtor and WD have both chopped their 3 year warranties down to 1 year. With IBM exiting the market (selling their HDD business to Hitachi) and Seagate strongly rumoured to be chopping their warranty to 1 year also, it certainly doesn't seem like the manufacturers have much confidence in the market (or the longevity of their products, at any rate.)

Bern notes the Linux version of the UT2003 Demo is now available also.. get it here from AusGamers.

Levis are marketing special radiation-proof jeans to protect your, err, "nadgers" from mobile phone emissions.. thanks goofydave.
