Yeah, I remember that. And then I tried to sell 1000MHz Athlon's that were pretested at 1333MHz and both Compuwiz and I were told that we couldn't do it anymore.

Ah, the good ole days. I can see why "the powers that be" instituted that rule, as the handwriting was on the wall that FS/T was going to become out of control very quickly; really, it is today. Still, it was an awesome time to deal in used hardware "back then".

I picked up a Cellermine 533@800 back then, a terrific bargain for the performance it offered. Threw it on a MSI BX Master and it was my rig for quite a while.

I don't do much in FS/T anymore, between the trolls and the price explosion. Back then, you could get good deals on almost anything. Now, prices are almost as high as new on many items. Full-context searching is a huge boon to finding the item you want, but I'd take 1999-2000's prices over today's any day of the week.

How come so many of you guys have 10/09/1999 as a join date? Is that the start date of the current forum?

I have not seen Athanasius in a long time, but that guy always had some very intelligent and insightful posts. Not like the usual drivel we commonly see.

This is a very cool thread.

Say, does anyone know where I am supposed to return this Pentium II computer I got for $350, and how long am I supposed to run the ad banner across the top of the screen? :-D

Lot's of familiar names here, didn't expect that.

You talking about JonLee? Remember him? He was the first person to welcome me to these forums. What happened to him? What happened to NoWhereMan?

I guess I am an oldtimer.

No, my fleet was an office one and I left that job several years ago. I'm down to two machines at this point, mine and my wife's.

Lived through the old UBB days, the WMC fiasco ($165 for the Hitachi), the dennilfloss controversy, HAPPY KITTEN flirtations, ISLA as our camp counselor and lots of on-line friends to pass the time with (Counterstrike!).

Value America, Mobshop and who could forget Point Click!

With age comes a house, kids, more responsibility at work and correspondingly less AT.

Good to see some of the old names. And yes, my username still has a typo!!!

All the best to you.

Haha No, I'm not talking about Johnlee, though I still do talk to him. I was talking about Mr. Guru.

Total Refected Power - Hey, I remember your name!

 

[Total Refected Power]

Yay. Someone remembers me! (Not that I was hard to miss or anything when I first joined. Having a desk job with great internet access provided for tons of posting.)

More old timers!
