Installing my brand new 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 video card into my Celeron 300A system, finally being able to overclock my celeron, and i loaded some program from 3dfx that "benchmarked" your new card...it had this donut that spun around and me and my friends marveled at how real it looked (was getting about 80 fps)!

Also, I had a Omega zip drive (100 mb) that I used for college files...that was until I found Napster back in the day...I used to go to the schools computer lab, download napster, install it and download all the music I needed...copy it to my zip discs and transport it home...

I remember always feeling like it was Mission Impossible...when the files were copying over...waiting for a R.A. or some admin to walk over getting ready to kick me out for DL music...

I did the same thing! would take my zip drive to school and dl about 30 songs to take home. Ahhh...the days before Universities wised up and put the lock down on their computer labs. you could do anything in Campus computer labs in those days...

Playing Diablo II until 1AM online with my good friend who lived in a different town...god we wasted countless hours playing that game.

I took apart a Tiger handheld game when I was four to see how it worked. I think that started it all.

Still in contact with said friend? If so you will waste countless more when D3 comes out. I know I will, though in my case mostly in the single player campaign.

Yes, we are still good friends. I have no doubt that we will kill many hours when D3 comes out.

1am? Too weak bro, you need to play at least 24hours straight to show your undying passion for Blizzard's products.

I think I nearly did this once with Blizzard's Battle Chess. That was back the 5.25" days!

I remember loading games off of my 105mb Bernoulli Disk my dad brought home from work. His old company at the time shared all their files across the network and even had a custom script to search for "DOOM" on peoples computers and delete it if it was detected, as his office played so much of it on the lan.

His friends used to all copy their games onto my dads bernoulli disk and he would bring it home for me chock full of new games each week. Now that's love.

For those of you who don't know what Bernoulli disks are, I take your floppys and raise you a 12 inch disk!

I did, ran a 1.4-S Tualatin on my BX6r2.0

That's EXACTLY what those were for! Prolonging the life of an awesome board! It was sad to see mine go!
