Well, we’ve outgrown the old server yet again, and now we’ve moved to a super cool dual 2.66 ghz job with many bells and whistles. The BBS has been moved too, hopefully without permission problems this time. If you’re able to read this, it probably went okay!
U just trying to brag to make those of us that have unl33t computers feel bad huh?
I see how it is… the corperate giant always picking on the little guy…
Making fun of us… humiliating us, causing great mental anguish or something…
I dunno where i was going with this… trying to be stupid i guess… (looks like it worked too)

On the advice of my legion of attorneys I have no comment at this time.
I have 2 comments on this…
1) That was a smooth move to this new box since I’ve been updating this page (this & a few other common pages I visit have just been left open & refreshed every so often whiel I’ve been on vacation) all day & I didn’t even notice any real issues with the site except early this morning (EST) when the BBS seemed to lag… alot… & it takes something special for me to notice on my dial-up at home…
All in all a very smooth transition though…
2) Bwahaha! (Sorry had to get that out first) If/when I ever finish getting the financing for my own bussiness together it’s going to have a few 2P or 4P Opteron 244 servers with Ultra SCSI 320 RAID & more than 8 GB of ram… But then again my startup is a LAN gaming center… So we need high end servers… It would be awfully hard to host the games people play at our location otherwise…
There’s an interesting topic to see what everybody’s PC specs are. (Especially if there’s enough of a customer base to bring over a couple of DVD-Rom games.)

I think I should be worried that I remember what a Commodore VIC-20 is in the first place!
Oh, bloody well. Why not, I have no pride. Plus, as far as I can tell, I still have the weakest computer (not counting Unicorn-san’s blast from the past…) Sometimes, I enjoy being at the bottom of the pile. Here goes:
P2 266 Mhz
96 MB ram
2 HD (1 40GB, 1 80GB)
Voodoo3 card, 16MB
Yamaha on-board sound
17" NEC Monitor
24x8x4 CD Burner, 16x DVD drive
Windows 98 (not even Windows 98 SE)
So for those of you who thought your computer was a bit on the “lite” side, I hope that makes you feel better.
