Gave my family a brand new IBM 75GXP 45 gigger, it's better than my 20 gig seagate... oh well, it's going in a pentium 200 so it will run as slow as all hell.

Yea, I'll bite,
(This will illustrate the state of affairs in this hardware junkies life). My Girlfriend (a middleage furniture rep.)
recently told me I needed new bedroom furniture, I replied "No friken way, do you have any idea how much computer hardware that would buy? (end of conversation). Wednesday, a full bedroom suite was delivered. Little did she know, I thought she needed a new computer. So, I had built her a Elan Vital T10, Cusl2-C, 800p3, 128/133, Asus 50xcd, Maxtor 30g, Asus AGP 7100, and SBlive. Now, every one is happy.
Happy Holidays
PS-We roadtested both, they both work great. hahahaha.
PSS-Not off topic-We did get a harware config in this post.
