But does it come with the internet?

But does it come with the internet?

I don't think you could fit that on a 160 Gig hard drive, no.

Pentium 5 :O

I see you ran into the famous ad that circulated the internet for all of a few seconds and snapped it up all quick-like

Does such a thing even exist? I certainly thought it didn't.

No; Harley probably just made a typo.

Okay, it's not exactly Pentium 5. TECHNICALLY it's a 3500+ speed processor. Which means it's STILL better than your creaky old 3200+ speed processors.

Now I can do all sorts of wonderful things!

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Then it's not even an Intel Pentium, it's an AMD Athlon.

AMD 3500+ is a decent little chip. I'm still running 3200+ and I'm just now hitting lumps of apps that start slowing mine down.

Cool. Dad's got a computer with the same specs eccept a better disk drive and a 3200+ chip instead - Better than my own computer, and like two years older. Hmph.

But I wanted to brag; if that's all you're getting...I got a 32" LCD TV in my room; and I'm getting a Ps3 as well. o.o

Do you have any idea how many starving children you could feed for a week instead?

Perhaps it's just my upbringing, but that sounds obscenely excessive to me.

Once SX kicked a little kid.

I vote Dirk feed all the starving kids. And I'll let my nephews play guitar hero on my 46" LCD., :3

~Rico

You mean he played "Kick the Baby"?

We give to charity, actually. I don't understand the whole deprive-yourself-of-creature-comforts-because-others-aren't-as-fortunate way of thought, but we do give to charity. We just don't give enough to not buy an LCD TV. But yeah, if you want to feed all of Africa or whatever, please be my guest.

Besides, this thread's for bragging, so why can't I do it? how many kids can Harley feed with the money spent on the computer? o.o

And Acrio is telling the truth. She had it coming though, and I had a liiiiittle bit too much caffeine.

As I said, it's possibly just my upbringing, but based on the relatively limited amount of my time/attention which I devote to television and gaming, I find the idea of receiving such an expensive television or gaming console as a gift completely ridiculous and borderline repulsive.

If anyone were to get me a 32" LCD TV or a PS3, I would certainly feel awful. It would be rude to refuse it, not to mention a sleight to the presenter, but I don't think I could in good conscience accept it because I don't think I could ever bring myself to even want such a thing, let alone own it.

I don't think I've ever gotten a gift greater in value than $150 anyhow...

*triples the kids Christmas money*

Sorry Dirk, I'm feeling rather pugnacious today. :3

~Rico

Dirk, you are a better man than I. o.o

He's our board's resident mother theresa.

~Rico

So I'm a saint because I'd rather nobody spent several hundred dollars to get me something I don't want? Or I'm a saint for not wanting it in the first place?

Whichever one you want!

~Rico

... >_>

yay new computer! sounds pretty cool, and must be particularly nice if you've been dealing with Windows 98 all this time. yikes. congrats!

moving from 98 to XP is like, well...

Crap I don't have an analogy dramatic enough for that.

~Rico

The Allegory of the Cave.

EDIT: Or, if you prefer the contemporary equivalent, being freed from the Matrix.

Does this mean she knows kung fu?

~Rico

If it does, show me.

Everybody was kung-fu-typing...
(Hya! Ho-ha!)
Their clicks were fast as lightning...
(Hya! Ho-ha!)
In fact it was a little enlightening...
(Hya! Ho-ha!)
They browsed with expert timing...
(Ha!)

I...I actually loled.... and had a desire to build keyboard-chucks, yo!

My mouse and keyboard are now wireless, so I can't chuck them. But I can break the old ones over my knee, oh, yes!

*scatters little keys all over the carpet*

...there's a sexual euphamism in that post somewhere, isn't there?

It wouldn't be Harley without sexual innuendo laden posts.

Found one x.x

You found one in there? I congratulate you; I wasn't even trying this time.

Hmmm... maybe I could use all the cds for the games that now refuse to work on Windows XP as shruikens.

Congrats on the new PC Harley!
Btw, I know what it's like to go from 98 to XP. N_N I had a win98 pc until last summer.

I was running Win95 until about 18 months ago. I also relate to the shock value of an upgrade. 😉

I have a Win98 laptop and a WinXP computer.

Do I win?

My computer's sound works now!

Now I can listen to Linkin Park until I go hang myself!
