Merry Christmas to all.

I was looking at my heatware and am scratching my head as to what i bought from whom.
I remember i bought from you GCS, Nexus and Red Dawn...All great deals on AGN of course.

I also wonder what happend with Sam Chan (Succubbiss) and Russ.

Funny thing was i tried to log into russ' old site on "hardwarehottalk" and what i get is a p@rn site.

Happy holidays all!

Hell I don't even like working on Computers anymore.


Red, I got to that conclusion also and its to the point now that I'm using laptops around the house and just maintain a server for the more powerful apps/jobs I need. I think it just got to the point in technology that it wasn't useful anymore, though once in a while I'll upgrade something. The only thing that keeps me in the game somewhat is my 15 year-old son, he's getting into it now and I have to keep up with him ;) .

I have to say that there was a special time that we all got together at AGN and I for one would like to thank all of you for that. I don't think there was ever a better time on the net for me.

I will forever remember everything that went on, even the original WMC threads and insanity that followed - a lot of us also posted at AT of course, though I never post there anymore. I think that was the start of all the I-want-something-for-nothing internet mob, and I don't think things have been the same since. Not that I didn't benefit from a lot of those deals, but things are different now and I don't think for the better in a lot of cases.

I'm glad to see that we can all still get together and reflect on a great time and its great to see that everyone feels the same. Cheers everyone!!!

I have seriously been soo insanely busy with life! It's not even funny. God, school is a huge bitch this year. I've pretty much lost interest in computers, unfortunately. I'm going to be selling the machine I have soon, and getting a new laptop for college, since this beast is a pain to move around and I need to fit as much as possible in my car when I leave.

I've been over at my car's forum more often than anything else, recently. I've become quite the car buff for my 1988 325. I'm a member over at http://r3vlimited.com/ VERY Informative site.

I still work at the City of Meridian as an IT Intern, and will remain there until I leave for college this year.

I'd like to go into one of the following colleges and get a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and pursue something along the lines of cars in the future - BMW in specific. I'm considering Purdue, Rose Hulman Inst of Tech, Montana Tech, and South Dakota State School of Mines and Tech. I am entirely on my own with funding, and have yet to get off my ass and apply for scholarships. I'm currently failing Calculus - I need to pass by the end of this week.

Yea, so life's been hectic, but I wanted to come check this place out today since it's been seriously almost a whole year since I last posted! It's insane!! :D

I'll try to visit more often, but it's so hard to when everything else keeps you so busy, you know?! lol

Well, I guess that's all! ;)

Cool car. I had a 1987 325ES, bright red with black leather interior. I had it from 1992-1999. Man, I loved that little car.

Value America...I still have a Zenith DVD player that I got for 1/2 price from there
Me too but it's in the basement recroom now, been replaced by a newer DVD player that plays burned MP3s, PC image files, etc.


AS for working on PCs and "fun".... :( yeah, NO I don't enjoy upgrading anymore either and that's why I rarely do it. I don't do it often enough to be an expert on the subject and bad things always seem to happen. This time it's a bad new HDD (to begin with).

I wish I knew of AGN then I would have met you all sooner :D , I was never aware of these kinds of forums. I was first turned on to these types by error actually, been hooked since.
