Meet Richard Brown, Vice President of VIA's Marketing, standing next to Derek Perez, a Director of Public Relations at Nvidia.

We were simply in the right place at the right time and the chap that stands next to Derek is Adrian Thompson, the VP of Sapphire who was also simply passing there. We won't tell you that he used to work for Nvidia some many years ago.

Tomorrow, VIA and Nvidia chaps will stand on the stage and announce this partnership. and since this is not SNAP (ancient partnership between AMD and Nvidia) anymore. we should call the new marriage of convenience NvidVIA, at least it sounds good at this late hour.  

One more thing is if you ever write Via and not VIA (ALL CAPS), Richard and his men might hunt you down.
