T
he Maximum PC editorial staff meets once
a year in a high-security, windowless room
at a remote, undisclosed location to cast
their votes for the recipients of the prestigious
-aximum PC 'ear awardwhich is reserved
for the year’s best PC hardware. The gathering
Quickly and inevitably descends into a raucous
shouting match, punctuated by personal attacks,
and even hair-pulling. $ebate rages for hours
and days, until eventually each nominee is either
accepted or reJected. )t’s grueling, but no one
leaves until the Job is done.
The pain and suffering are worth it. %very year,
we tip our hats to the kind of hardware that makes
us feel good about being geeks, and we have the
opportunity to acknowledge those manufacturers
who went above and beyond the call of geekery to
create the works you’ll see in these rooms.
Thank you for attending. .achos will be
served at 11:00 p.m. The 'ear presentations
will commence now.
