Well I'm just glad time was stopped when it was taken.  Otherwise that chip would have fried...   :lol:

I managed to stop time once: I went around switching people's hats with smaller hats of the same style and make so that when time started again, they'd think their heads had grown or their hats had shrunk. Man, that was fun.

How do you like the Yamaha 2200E Pseudo?  


It's pretty cool actually. I had bought my boyfriend the TDK veloCD 24/10/40 CD-R/RW Drive, and mine out performs it at 20/10/40. ::shrug::

Indeed.  Mine has always done well by me.  The brother in law (who isn't very computer literate) went and bought him a TDK.  He was so pissed when he still couldn't backup the discs that I can.  Heheh

The only reason that I bought the Liteon (rebadged buslink with Smart-burn on the box) 52/24/52 was it was on sale for 35 bucks.

My boxen are pretty sad I need to do some upgrades but anyway here goes:

rooted.revmoo.org - Bandwidth usage graphs
100mhz 40megs of ram, 1 gig hard drive.
Slackware Linux 8.1
This machine hosts various stuff, mostly I just throw mp3s and such over to it when I want to share something. I give away shells on it to friends, mainly used for IRC bots and such.

moo.revmoo.org
900mhz 400megs of ram, 40 gig hard drive, 120gig hard drive, Geforce2 MX 200
Gentoo Linux - Linux 2.4.20
Windows XP Professional
This is my main workstation, I use it for pretty much everything, games music etc etc. It's getting kind of old and it is about time to upgrade. Just gotta get a couple more paychecks :)

Davinci.revmoo.org
133mhz 128megs of ram, 1.2 gig hard drive.
Slackware Linux 8.1
This is my laptop, its incredibly old, but I've got a Wireless card in it, so I can get on IRC, browse the web, check email, admin various boxen, etc from the living room so it is pretty nice to have.

Built this system after months of arguing and deliberating with my classmates - it's hard when you go to an arts college with row upon row of leased macs to convice people that even though it's not aqua flavoured, that you can do it cheaper and just as good.

I'm just going to paste directly from the sales invoice for a couple of things.

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton 512k
Asus A7V8X ATX KT400
2 sticks of 512Mb DDR ram, pc 2700
an 80G Western Digital HD, 7200RPM w/ 8Mb
a 14.4 G scratch disk, 7200 RPM (I ripped this out of the old P.O.S)
GeForce4 MX 440
Soundblaster Live 5.1
Pioneer A05 DVD RW and CD RW Drive
no name 24x10x40 CD-RW Drive
2 19" Flat Viewsonic SVGA 1920 (.24DP)
Cordless Duo mouse and keyboard
and the most important things, my wacom, my Canon 10d digital cam, and the Epson 2200.

as for operating systems, I run XP Pro, despite a few people's efforts to get me to switch to Linux. Opera is my favourite browser in the whole world.

A few classmates shit themselves when I told them I did it for the cost of a low end G4 - but I got monitors with mine.

The A7V8X is a good motherboard, I used to use that board for my domain controller, onboard RAID as well as on board gigabit NIC, good stuff.

I must confess that I know next to nothing about it, and went on the advice of a friend after he had a look at my VidCard and processer choices. I know very little about motherboards in general.

Bah, I don't need your fancy nosehair clippers with all your bells and whistles! Me an' my trusty ol' 356 make it fine in this world. It can't read your fancy "Compact Disks" or play your "Counter-Strike", but it runs Wolfenstein like a charm! Plus, I don't have that silly pointing device you folks use. C:\run wolf3d, w00t!
