bearskin Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 jeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz....I was just snooping around on the other board and almost regurgitated. seems like all that's going on over there are people bragging about their computers.1. is my computer ok?2. just got new computer.3. my computer is faster than yours.4. I can run all these games.don't people use computers for word processing, spreadsheets, databases anymore? some of those computers cost more than my car. guess I'm getting too old for all this bull$h1t.

bozodog Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Heh heh, funny huh? The fastest, best machines out there and no idea on how to secure them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
il_wiccan Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I read one over there where some kid got a new hot rod AMD64 machine and he was doing the braggin' rights crap and the next thing he asks is how to over-clock the processor and video card. I bet he is the type that would buy a new Ferrari and take it home and pop the hood and start screwing around with it....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JSKY Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Heh heh, funny huh? The fastest, best machines out there and no idea on how to secure them... Let them brag, half of them probably have a 5 year old PC and are just wishing. You know the old saying.

cowsgonemadd3 Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Let them brag! They just spent 3000.00 and a pc that in 3 month will be worth 500.00! Or less! Your car in the end (if you dont run off the road) will be worth more. By the time they take that thing out of the store its out of date. Raedy to be replaced by a newer better one that was supposed to be better but has more errors than my old 98se with 96mb ram! My old 98se pc is using 97% of its ram. It moves like a snail but when I do replace it I aint going to go all out for it to die in value overight.Thought I would say a bit...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerelda Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 LOL I know how you feel Bearskin. When I was over there, that's how a lot of it was. They'd also be posting things like "ok, I've got $300 to spend on anything I want. Help me spend my money on computer crap I don't need and won't ever get full use of!" LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got several PCs, but, they're used units that I've picked up for a song. I've been really lucky with buying refurbished PCs. I've got one site that I use quite a bit to buy used monitors and PCs.itxchange.comThey sell a wide variety of used stuff. It's amazing what you can get for a few bucks. This used unit that I'm typing on started out as a Win 98SE machine. I then installed Red Hat 9 on it. Now I'm running Mandrake 10.1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JSKY Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Bragging rights. OKManufacturer:Texas Instruments Model: TI99/4A Year: 1981 Processor: TMS9900 to 3MHz Memory: 256 octetos ram, 16k VRAM, 8k ROM characteristics: Successor of the TI99 (1979), uses the same processor of 16 bits at a time at which those of 8 bits not yet have reached their greater glory. The little built-in ram must to that it was predicted to use the cartridge of ROM like main storage media of programs. Expandable by means of modules that are connected to a box of expansion, the capacity of the 9900 equals to the one of its competitors of 8 bits, 64k. Also existed disk drives, modems, graphical tablets and all the accessories that one can hope in a computer of the time. Now you want to hear about slow dial-up...........

uberpenguin Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Yes, then there's the occasional thread in which some kid decides to try and impress everyone else by using terminology that goes over most peoples head, but manage to bastardize what they are trying to say anyway... Usually about computer architecture, basic electronics, `hacking' (script kiddie style), or cluster computing in which a certain poster copied half of a paper by a research scientist at U of T.I only stuck around because of some of the other old TSS board regulars.-uberpenguin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
