I never thought this day would happen to me, but I am slowly loosing all interest in computers.:Q
This could be the best thing ever happen to me: to get away from computer and get a real life!
Computers (& its games) has always been like a DRUG to me: I love it, I'm obsessed by it, I can't live without it.
While my high school friends recount outrageous football parties,I recount all the games I finished in high school.
Fond memories of (Ultima II, III, IV & Bard's Tale I,II,III) on my dinky 128K Apple IIc.
Going to college allow me to make a clean break from computing & I discovered the so-called "social life":
Night clubs, beer-runs, Mexico, Student Governments, and GIRLS. It helps that there was no games
available on my 2mb MAC SE, beside there was no WWW, Napster, MP3, Instand Massengers, nor WIFI
to feed my computer addiction. That's right kids, I lived though the dark-ages without internet!
That Real-Life break came to an abrupt end when I discover Blizzard's Diablo game.
Next thing I know, I ditch MACs, and spend $1800 building my first PC (166mmx that cost $175..ouch!)
After that the rest is history. I caught the PC upgrade flu and gone through the progression of
AMD K6, P200mmx, the 3 way battle between Cyrix M2 - Intel's P2 - AMD K6(2), then the overclocking
frenzy of Celeron 300a on ABIT BH6, follow by the infamous Celeron 566 to 860 overclocking, yet even
more Celerons 633 - 900, switch to socket A platform's Duron 700, Duron 900, Athlon 850, Duron 1000
Athlon 1000 (on 133fsb), Athlon 1200, AXP 1600+ & 2000+, AXP1700+ (tbred), finally my AXP 2200+.
@33, I finally realized computer hardware is a never ending games like EverQuest.
Its better to leave-the-scene & get a life.
That is the short version of my story, what is yours?
