The mid 1990s were a great time to be in college. We got to be the first generation who embraced the internet prior to adulthood, and the last who lived out an analog childhood. I started with cassette tapes and the card catalog, and finished with Usenet and the World Wide Web. (This was back when the WWW was recognized as a specific subset of the internet, and not a proxy for the whole thing.) Using a computer required that you actually know something about the computer. If you were fortunate, you were located near enough to the computer that you could bike over and look at it through the glass. So very many blinking lights. Netscape mail? I'm sure I've got a copy of my last post file archived somewhere. That was back before persistence was taken for granted. Last time I tried logging into my Pine account on Grove, it still worked. A T1 used to be fast. Now, I'm living in a world in which I recently stated "We're still paying for a T1 to Willis? I didn't even know those still existed. Fuck it, we've got two separate wireless IP paths that cost nothing, cancel that shit." |

I played games over arcnet cables flopped down across the dorm hallways because the adapters were under $15. I met my now-wife on IRC (eris free) before there was a windows client. |

Meeting your now wife over IRC is nothing to sneeze at.
Growing up I had 2 computers. Mostly played console games. (NES/SNES/N64/PS1) Family PC #1: I remember windows 3.11 MSPaint. A bunch of programs I didn't know how to use at the time and zero internet until later. DOS Games: Mario teaches typing Mario lost in time. Treasure Mountain. Home Alone 2 Family PC #2: Windows 98 Team Fortress Classic & Half Life. Command & Conquer games. Stolen Dial Up config that connected to the local high school, then routed through a T1 connection from my small town high school to the nearest big city (corpus christi) and out from there. |

It's McMillan...
By the way... just about a week ago I've found some old video tape I've made of a friend, his wife and their 1 year old in some hotel room. So we tried to figure out where that was and then it hit us - it was Las Vegas when we went to COMDEX ! Good times.... |
Not good enough for Random pictures thread. |
I really want to put this in my computer. But i really don't want to tear my loop apart and my OCD would have me redoing lines and all that... ugh.

Just ordered some of that ( I assume that is the Primochill Vue), should be shipping out at the end of the month. Looks amazing, I've been waiting on a reliable coolant like this ever since i saw the Aurora line from Mayhems. So far reviewers are having good luck with this stuff from Primochill.

Yes. The lead time was about 2 months for me.
I can't wait to see this stuff start making it's way into different systems. I think it looks great. |
Last i heard of primochill vue was their customer service..

Opinions on keyboards are like opinions on beers. It all depends on what you do and the style you like. No two opinions will be the same.
|
If I remember correctly, corsair or cooler master may have a membrain KB of higher quality than what you posted.
If I were to pickup that logitec I'd just goto Best Buy or another big store. |
Also, Romer-G > CherryMX.
I will probably get shot for this opinion. |

Serious question: what exactly is in Primochill, other than coloring agents? I can't find an MSDS on it, and I'm curios as to what makes it (or any of the other coolant liquids / additives) superior to distilled water.
I do not know what/how they make the VUE coolant, the pastel is just water and the color concentrate while this stuff has pearls, but how they are getting it to not settle is beyond my knowledge. Jayztwocents did an update video after running it and it actually cleaned his blocks, I have high hopes for this stuff. |
