Fun stuff

So what do you do after a hard day's work absorbing the wider implications of a whole new set of three-letter acronyms? Retire to your hotel room to brush up on the next day's session notes? No! It's time to party! (Unless, that is, you've spent the whole day in one long Aliens vs Predator multi-user session testing DirectX 6.0 to the limits in the Games Area, and are feeling a little guilty...)

Meanwhile, ComponentSource's Photine Kaklamanos takes us through T-shirts past and present. More
