Newspaper article on case modding!

[simon275]

This article appeared in Australia's major business paper the Australian Financhial Review on the 7/10/06. I though you would like to see the man behind the mods that we have all seen. I was quite supprised that such a major important paper would talk about such things but It must have struck a cord with someone in the paper.

So here are two scans from the newspaper.

56k'er warning! These are big scans making them smaller makes it hard to read.

Wow, that's the first time i've seen a newspaper article about case modding that wasn't absolute drivel.

The guy actually seems to know what he's talking about! Nice article, you Australians must have copetent journalists.

Yes we are a special bunch in Australia decent beer, decent women and decent journalists. It's funny how he got into modding when recuperating from a parachuting accident.



He has a nice shop.

It says he lives in a caravan on a rural property so he must have his workshop in a shed or rent space somewhere. I can't believe he is giving one of his cases away. He should auction it.

It looks like Crimson Sky has some competition from down under to. :p

It's hilarous considering Australia started life as a Penal colony, eh? ;)

Just kidding.

My parents are from New Zealand so I'm desended from setlers not convicts.

Only two of my friends have Australian parents the rest are South African and American. Some where born overseas while some people's parents came to Australia and then had them. I went to a ritzy school lots of international's.

Also do you like my sig? Its only 8kb. :)

I didn't realize how big WMD was. That's a freaking huge mod.
Orac3 is still my favorite of his work.
Good article. We need more like it.
