    Kind of new here....transplant from another computer forum

    After being here for 5 years, I can say that not too many of the older members (especially those who have been around since TF's inception) have stuck around....... people's lives do change, after all...... although, I still think Dave (DmO) posts from time to time. In case anyone's curious...

    Music: What do you listen to?

    Pretty much anything; no rap or hip-hop though, please.

    who shops at Abercrombie?

    Ehh yes, I have shopped there before, though I'm not quite the type who drains out a week's pay for that.

    I, my friends, am an idiot.

    Written test is a piece of cake; you can easily get close to 100% even just by skimming the book. Took me three times to pass the actual driving portion though; large vehicle + narrow country roads != fun. Plus, the examiner who gave me my license was the only one out of them who wasn't a...

    Tv Commersials

    Well, I'm sure you can guess one small reason I stopped watching TV long ago.

    Free Classes from MIT

    It was $82 (per test) back when I took them, and quite frankly, they were a waste of time; even though I did get credit, most didn't apply to my degree and I still have to take BS filler classes for those. Best way to get college credit, IMO, is through community college classes (or at any...

    external video cards

    Sorta reminds me of the 3DFX Voodoo5 6000 (required its own external power supply). Some earlier laptops (the Toshiba T3200SXC first comes to my mind) did in fact come with expansion slots so that internal upgrades could be added (e.g. a graphics card)...... this is a nice concept for the...

    Ahh I love working retail

    Where I used to work, we always had folks RMAing hard drives that were perceived to be dead.......... I'd say a good 90% of the ones that test good had some sort of pornographic content on them.

    The HAVOC2k5 Challenge

    Haha if I had a video camera I would do this (I was one of the few people in my class that could handle a nice coating of Mad Dog 357 sauce, without any milk........ let's just say my stomach took quite a beating that night). Every time I head down to the nearby Thai restaurant to eat, the...

    Wii Problems

    My friends and I have gotten pretty close to hitting the screen with the controller, but then again, we had a bit too much to drink that night.

    Your first computer

    It was a 486DX/66 if I remember correctly........ it had a nice MS DOS 6.22 + WfWG 3.11 setup, before it was upgraded to Win95. I was about 8 or so back then, and this started my jump into desktop computing....... I also remember my dad taking it apart and upgrading it to a Pentium 90 (quite a...
