I've lurked here occasionally since like 2000 or something. I think I stumbled on the site when I was looking for a way to make my Sound Blaster work in Windows 2000, and found out about VDMSound. I really like the Hitchiker's theme too. I first found out about that series when I was a kid and had a subscription to Color Computer Magazine. There was a feature on the newly-released book, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, complete with artwork on the magazine cover, and an excerpt from the book. Hilarious stuff. I've since read everything Adams has ever written, of course.
I decided to become a registered user of this site (though I may have actually been registered in the distant past) after I started building a 486 retro-gaming PC and noticed a lot of google search results on the topic pointing to here. So here I am.
I was wondering whether anyone here would be interested in discussing my build? If so, I'll post all the info and specs here. I may wind up selling it on ebay, and I just noticed a 4 page thread on etiquette in this forum so, so I figured I'd better ask rather than just do it. I DON'T PLAN TO SELL IT HERE, ONLY ON EBAY. I would, however, like to get opinions on it. I also have a bunch of 486 boards and processors which I'm slowly selling on Ebay. Maybe you guys would be interested in those as well. If anyone expresses interest, I'll talk more about them.
Anyhow, thanks for being here all these years, guys. You made Win2k and WinXP tolerable!
