Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Buying a new computer soon... Suggestions?
« on: May 2, 2003, 10:55 PM »
My first computer was a MacIntosh Classic. A stunning piece of machinery and anyone that remembers better can correct me, but I think 2 Mb or Ram and 40 Mb hard drive. Ah, the glory days. Still like Macs, just not much point for the same reasons as Scott.
I'm kind of in the same boat as Matt, but not in any hurry to get a new one. Running a P II 333, 384 Mb Ram, 64 Mb Vid card, so all is still pretty good, at least for what I use it for. Waiting for DVD burners to come down in price a bit more, and get the spin rate up.
By the time I get a new one (late fall maybe), I'm hoping for 3+ GHz, 512 Mb Ram, 60+ GHz hard drive, 128 Mb Vid card, (probably pull my soundblaster Audigy out of this one and put the old one back in), CD-RW and DVD RW, Zip and away she goes. But the price for that needs to come down quite a bit. What is it, 3 months for processor turnover in terms of price? 6 months should make that all quite affordable. Monitors should be good by then too.
My wife (the boss) has a Dell laptop she loves, so probably another Dell. It all depends on price for the same quality of components.

Carrie, I would love to help you move but my old & frail back would not allow it. That & my tennis elbow.
Uh, yeah, that's it. Well, that and my 3 year old plans on beating the crud out of me. (Hey Scott, is crud better than crap? just trying to play by the rules here)

Dale, do these elusive beings known as Hasbro Reps exist in Canuckada? I think not, lest they would recoil in horror at our TRU's laden with Nikto's, JarJar's and Mommy Tuskens.

Bring 'em on then, 'cause this game is already OVER. The Kid is in the zone, so you might as well chalk up one more first round exit for KG, sadly enough as he did everything he could. Spurs? Yeah, whatever. You mean the guys who just got pasted by the Suns TWICE? OK. Really scared...
Yep, them lowly Spurs are certainly no match for the Lakers. After all, the Lakers won the season series 4-0 right? Oh dear, no, that's not quite right, is it? My, my, after checking, it appears that it just might have been the other way around. Have the Lakers beaten the Spurs this year? Maybe in exhibition season when they thought they were playing hockey.

If the Lakers win, they get the Spurs. That should prove an interesting match up. Nets are through too.

Dang, wife was in here when I clicked on that. She asked if there were idiots that would pay that much for a Pez dispenser.
Probably not worth trying to hide it, cuz she'd eventually find it anyway. Where's that link to the master replica...
