My Living Will:
Whoever puts a post on Anandtech forums letting the members know that I died gets all my stuff.

That is unless my wife is still alive, then she gets it all. She has 15 days to post, or all of it goes to whoever posts it.

Don't forget he was also working on (just before he left for the "war") an 8-way Athlon motherboard that used RDRAM!

I donated a bit to someone for an injured dog, but it wasn't him. He may have had a similar incident, though in his case he was probably just scamming again.

I have a screenshot somewhere of my buddy list, and the lights for Nicklas and PCResources both are lit up indicating they are online. This was after PCResources was supposedly dead. :p

I am still in awe of the Athlon and Pentium motherboards that he arcwelded together to make a dual-processor system. :p ;)

A true AT member would post here in his last hour via wireless before he baked/plunge to his death.

Does a headless box-head, aka luvly, count as a living, breathing human being?

Yep. Poor dear. R.I.P.:brokenheart:
What happened?

By the way, the motorcycle guy someone mentioned was a member of a motorcycle forum, not AT.

The whole thing was a scam. There was no nowheremom

And there's no drama there, right? (Besides his son being richer than most of us.)

You mean this guy?

Ha, is that you with Robert Plant? If so, When/Where/How did you get to meet him?

Yup!

My ex-boss rented a bungalow next to him on some Carribean island and they hit it off immediately since he was a big fan and an amateur musician.

He said he was really down to earth and a real nice guy who actually called him out to hang out and still calls him regularly.

He came into our offices a while back to say hi when he was in town and we took him the NYSE where it was like a rock concert. The traders stopped trading and wanted to meet him.

He brought along his 27 YO GF who was very cute (sorry no pics) and his 20ish son who our secretary was in love with.

If you are talking about HawkeyeNJ it was actually confirmed he was NOT William Cashman

but his last post was 9/10 i thought...and worked in NYC


someone contacted a relative and confirmed he was not the same person.

I was the one that spoke with William Cashman's family. He didn't even own a computer.
