I definitely agree. I used to upgrade every year, now my newest rig is
2 generations behind. I don't game as much, but it seems to me that the
top games these days are hard work. Games like Doom & Quake used to be fun.

Face it, computing has changed a lot since those days. We've gone from
scouring Computer Shopper for the best deals on hardware and sharing tips on
overclocking so we can squeeze out the maximum performance to computers being a
commodity where speed and power is effectively far outstripping the
applications.
The days where you could effectively double your horsepower by overclocking a
Celeron are way past.

I know I missed the really early days, but I thought I had joined about '95. I
don't have any emails going back that far. I remember being on the list when
the first MMX processors were released. As luck would have it, the P166MMX (I
think!) was the first chip that Intel multiplier-locked and I was one of the
first to get a locked version, dang!

You know a list is old when you joined in '98 and the majority of people on
the list consider you a new member =)

That pretty well sums it up, Duncan. Being that this list is not moderated
it is the most civil one I have ever been on, which, certainly, is a
credit

just a lurker, I do read everything the comes through the

Hey Jeff,
A bunch of us 'oldsters' are still alive and bitchin' on this
"HardwareGroup" list. I could be blocked by many, but, I continue to
sharewith those that respond.
Thanks for your service!

I haven't either, but would be willing to. This is the best bunch of
folks that I have on all my tech lists and sure wouldn't want to break
it up. As an aside, though, I certainly hope Jim is ok. Being a Korean

I have not donated anything in the past, but will be more than happy
to contribute now.

Collective,
Has anyone seen or heard from Jim lately ? Does anyone know who
pays for and runs the list ? The domain is set to expire at the
end of this year, any info would be appreciated.
