I’ve been following Anand and his replacements there at Anandtech since Anand only did early youtube type videos on Yahoo lol. Anand was considered a n00b by Comdex goers and reviewers alike. Back then, competition from the likes of Kyle @ [H]ardOCP, John @ AMDZone, cmdrtaco @ /., TheInquirer (now theregister), Tomshardware and many others I honestly don’t remember off the top of my head that really ruled the roost.
Anand made a name for himself in the company of some very tough competition.
Hats off to the man and his team over the years, they had a really great run.
