Yeh Mr TG, started with dos 3 myself, then a idiot nephew persuaded me to go to dr dos,those that whine about microsoft should have had a go at that operating system.
Built a whole load of different systems over the years.
Then I decided upgrading every six months was a mugs game, so I sought advice,"well Mr Draper, intell will not be making cpu's much faster than the p3 500", so draper decides to build a dual p3 500, for some future proofing
So the plan was to buy a single 500 cpu plus dual m/b, them when win2k comes out to purchase another p3 500, hopefully much cheaper by then,"Oh no Mr Draper, both cpu's must be of the same stepping number" arrgghhh!!!, so purchased second p3 500, this was the fastest thing out there then, so I had to pay big bucks.
If I ever run into that tw*t again he's in for a biffing.
So now I'm stuck with a dual p3-500 overclocked to 560, 256 meg ram, Geforce2 g/card, and its way to slow.
Most of my mates are running 1.4 gig cpu's with the !!!!! overclocked out of them, I will have to bite the bullet and upgrade again I suppose.
PS You would probably not recognise the Quayside now, looks real posh, prefered it when it was a working river myself.
The Big Market still there also, full of drunken tatooed, shaven headed mutants at night now, and the men look just as bad.
