And American beer is like making love in a canoe because it's fucking close to water.
What country are you from ? Not all American beer is like water, that is why the "micro brewers" here have become quite popular though any beer with ABV of greater than around 8% by most brewers including those from the Euro market (we have some good import markets with beers from all over the world in my area) taste nasty and smell like the ISO alcohol I use to clean my computer parts 🤣 ...just my opinion ;p
added: If you drink things like this: https://manofmany.com/lifestyle/snake-venom-w … st-beer-675-abv then either you are an alcoholic or just dumb, sorry just my opinion again Hahaaa.
I paid £23.50 + postage for mine. Had a cooler on it. From a Polish seller called Apress. Well packed and in a static bag, and with a very clean looking board and cooler on it. Described as "seller refurbished." Which was explained as being tested and working.
The reason I want to get hold of one is because I've got this Youtube channel that I want to do planned about retro stuff and one thing I want to do is a retrospective on the 300A. The plan was, benchmark it at stock clocks against the Klamath 300 and then against a Pentium III Katmai at 450MHz. This is the reason I went with a Win95 build for my retro battlestation, because I can do stuff comfortably up to 2000 or so in Win9x while at the same time having enough backward compatibility to run DOS stuff as well. And I always found Win98 very bloated when using it round a friend's who had it.
When I had such a system the first time round I had to share it with my parents and they get very angry if I was accused of "fiddling" with the hardware to make stuff work and had to fix it by boot disking or safe moding. And of course if something broke just because, like once when I was playing Torment and it crashed and the crash took out a key Windows file somehow, it was of course my fault for "fiddling." This meant there were several games that I never got working at the time for various reasons and only played later when Dosbox came along.
(I am rediscovering that hell is a game that requires 590KB conventional memory plus EMS, but it is a strangely enjoyable hell. Step forward, Darklands. I've got it to the point where I can double click Darkland.exe in Windows and it'll work but the digital sound won't.)
As for beer, I'm from the UK. Regrettably (shudder) lager is everywhere but most towns have their own breweries and local stuff. Just like France has 500 types of cheese, we have 500 types of beer. Though I don't really drink any more to be fair because addictive personality, ex who was an alcoholic and it ruined her life, and on reflection I was on the cusp of being a problem drinker during my student days. I would drink alone in my room and only alcoholics drink alone.
