Personally I think the 8/4/32 cd burner is a steal at 128.95.

Back in the day, the first I did was check out all the locked threads. OT usually had about half a page by the time I woke up.



RIP good ol days

I think I started lurking when it was the 2002 forums you showed...

Dang, I had 1679 posts on the day they're showing the 2002 forums. OT was so much better when all the threads were in one place. Sigh.

Who remembers the craziness after 9/11? I do. Two weeks later is all we have though:

The dmcowen674 headline sure is a throwback.

 

[HannibalX]

Ahh the good old days, before the endless neffing.

 

[leftyman]

I posted almost exclusively in the general hardware and for sale/trade forum back then.

LOL @ "Dow Jones will break 10,000 by year's end. Oct/19/2001 10:25 PM"

There was speculation, but none confirmed IIRC. And the dmcowen thing is all over google.

He installed SETI (or some kind of distributed computing proj) on school computers.

ATOT wasn't so full of LAEMRS back then it seems.

I haven't heard much from him lately. I guess they cut off his internet at Gitmo.

There was one that no longer posted after 9/11.

An attempt was made for confirmation to no avail.
