So I was cleaning out my computer area today and found some pretty cool stuff just sitting around... Check it out..


What I found in my desk


A yes.. The original Pentium 133MHz!  This was part of an old gateway P5-133.Dont ask about the "p5-133" naming standard  Laughing


The good old P2 slot processor... I have 2 of these... this is the 266MHz version and a 600MHz P3 I think.. Rolling Eyes


The original Palm Pilot!  Yea it does still work and I still have the dock  Laughing

See what you can find.. Believe me there is some pretty cool old stuff other there right now...  I have more coming!

Wish stuff like that would appear magically at the computer here.

There's nothing there otherwise.

Unless you are interested in having a 266MHz processor you dont want any of this stuff in your computer... Laughing All of this stuff is pre 1997...  This is HARDWARE FLASHBACK!!!

I still have a 486 66 MHz computer in my room. Currently the monitor is in use by my laptop, since that one is barely working at all.

Photos still there, though not viewable as my host is under a DDoS attack.

Currently they are implementing something to stop or slow the attack.

So why isnt he banned? I would think DDoS would be a really good reason to be banned and let him know that what he/she is doing is a crime... Twisted Evil

either way it is against the law... Maybe the host should take legal action against the person.. I believe it is a minimum of like 2 year in jail if it is a host that does this for business...
