All I can say is Perknose, that's about the saddest story I've ever heard. You have my sympathy. As heartbreaking as it must be, it's good that you had what time you had. So many people never do.

Nafets, just gave you a 10 for having logged back on at 5:10 am on that fateful day in October of '99 and for having the great good sense and restraint to have posted less than 300 times since then!

Folks, shoot this man a 10!
 
Considering I lurked for 3 years before signing up for the forums and even now after 2 years or so on the board I only have around 400 posts... I'm pretty sure I'm unknown. 😀

Ah! one of my very favorite AGN and local traders of all time! How are you doing? 🙂

Speaking of AGN,I can remember many a day cursing that damn golffreak and wondering if the guy ever had to eat or go to the bathroom cause he seemed to always beat me to hardware I wanted!🙂

What was funny was I liked the guy and we even tried several times to trade together just to say that we had,lol,never worked,we were always in competition to buy the same hardware🙂
 
Oct 99 was a quarter-end close right after the company I worked for then just completed a major divestiture and acquisition, so I didn't get around to rejoining until November (I was the SBU Controller and was working 18 hour days with no real time to spend time at places like here). I was around on the pre-fusetalk Anandtech. I know for sure right around the WMC days but I remember being a member a little earlier. I was on AGN3D as well, and old age is messing with my memory, so I'm not too sure.

At least I was able to get the same username I had used in the past.

Damn, I know I wasn't here in the very beginning, but I barely recognize any names on here any more. I don't post or hang out here as much as I used to so that probably has something to do with it. Geez.....all these new faces! I feel like an old fart. Wait a minute....I AM old! My birthday was last Friday and I turned 28. GAH! (Here's a pic of my birthday present from my boyfriend. We named him Rocco.) <---------- Shameless cute doggy plug

So...... Any "old timers" around?

Ah, the name change. Why not Wrigley? I didn't read the other thread thoroughly.

He wasn't really responding to the name Wrigley. 🙁 I asked at Petsmart about their dog obedience classes and she asked me if he was even responding to his name. When I told her that he wasn't, she said that dogs that go through what he did (He was a stray, then adopted. Then, his owners had to move to the city and weren't allowed pets. So, they brought him back to the Humane Society. 🙁 ) will disassociate themselves from the name they were given. (I never heard that before, but I thought there might be merit to it.) She suggested changing his name. So.......we changed his name to Rocco and he seems to be responding to the new name very well. 🙂 Also, we took him to his first vet visit today. Aside from the initial jitters, he was a champ. He didn't flinch when they drew his blood or gave him a shot. They also said that he is very healthy. 😀 Woohoo!
 
Damn, All the old names popping out... Makes me feel 28 again 😀

Erhm... I mean 22!


And seeing the name Shuxclams conjures up memories of the N...A...K...E...D thread 😛
