Well he hangs out over here
http://www.sahaty.com/vb/member.php?u=5754As far as I can recall he was once banned from this place for some odd reason, it was also because of the obsession we all had that he seen a Velocity 200 boxed in the UK in the stores as such, and this thread ended in some kind of obsession, a big obsession.
it was in this thread that Janskjaer was seen as Reverend Brother Poquelin:

http://www.falconfly.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1082466923though never could prove it, and here's that Velo 200 Box thread I started since it was something we all wanted to know did a Velo 200 really exist?
http://www.falconfly.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1116941520/0#0Even so, Thandor made a very cool Photoshop of it
After that topic, it ended in an overobsessed way, though the thread was never locked.. Janskjaer got obessed with it and began his own thread, just to justify that he was trying to prove us he did see one ,but he could never prove it as most of us stick to the fact: Seeing Is Believing.
http://www.falconfly.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1121850092/0#0And during that second topic I even blamed myself for it, since it was indeed something I should of never posted in the first place, but on the otherside I suppose it was not meant to end this way, all I wanted is to ask around about it nothing more.
"And you can blame me if you want, I was the fool of a took that started to even talk about it in the first place:

Let's hope for the good of things that the Velocity 200 box pic will surface one day
I was able to contact someone who would know beyond a doubt, the head of the marketing dept.
Here is what they said-
Gary: You were in marketing the 3dfx products?
Marketing: Yes, I managed the marketing department.
Gary: Know anything about the marketing of the Velocity 100/200 boards? The 100 had wide release but the 200 appears to have never been sold.
Marketing: You are correct, the 200 was never released. There was a minimal amount produced but they were only used in house.
Gary: Yes, I have a few of the samples from the engineer who worked on a number of Voodoo 3 boards.
Gary: There is a guy in England who claims back in 2000 he saw them boxed in a store in the UK.
Marketing: I doubt that boxed versions were for sale in 2000. All packaging was budgeted and approved by me and I never signed off on offical packaging for the 200. But the board could have been a knock off with packaging good enough to fool someone.
Name withheld by request.
I'll see if they have any artwork or can point to someone who does. [/quote]
And that did clear it up for the most people except janskjaer heh, and Gary you are still right about that one mate
