Anyone want to play a Quake level??? I posted it in planetquake (link below) but know one has posted any comments. I would be interested to know what people think. http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view= … e.Detail&id=360

I'm sure someone will call this another nostalgia thread. But - as you look back on computing, which processors were worth having?

I suppose I could make an avatar out of the Intel logo 😀 Seriously - thanks for the replies - nice to "meet" you 😀

Maybe it's just me - is computing as much fun as it used to be? Once upon a time you put a disk in your computer and ran an install program and it worked - the first time. You didn't have to have an internet connection to "activate" the software or to download a "patch." All the help files were …

I ran across this site a couple if weeks ago..... how interesting! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who likes fooling around with old computer hardware!!!!
