alcohol is haram

I wasn’t drunk but years ago I woke up in the middle of the night, was still half asleep, intended to bid on a PC but accidentally clicked Buy it Now and completed the transaction. I had spent like $800 on a computer that probably was worth $300. I was pissed at myself when I realized it moments later but decided to live with my mistake rather than attempt to dispute the transaction. Lesson learned.

Ouch!!!

I may as well carry on this madness and pick up the rest of the FX based Quadros. That seems like a great idea

It's happened to me - I ended up buying an SBC that while sober I considered it to be not worth the trouble. Fortunately / Unfortunately, 'drunk me' thinks differently and saw it as a challenge. It did eventually work though (after buying an EEPROM programmer) and it did come with an AMD x5 133 chip attached which was pretty cool.

FX quadros are quite good if the price is right 😁

There have been things i've been dithering over stuff online and then gone to bed drunk and bought the stuff when i woke up in the middle of the night, still inebriated. I remember my drunk self didn't even think about it, just "yep, having that". Not yet bought anything i regret, but there's always time.

Quadro FX 700 just landed on my doorstep... 😒

Drunk you must really love the idea of having a special room full of nothing but Quadro's.

Oh yes, never do anything involving computers and money without taking your morning coffee first.

Wasnt there a few models of geforce that could be modded into quadro's

I can't even blame my crazy acquisition sprees on inebriation. I just get bored while waiting for tea to steep and think, hm, I wonder how much Mac G4 Cubes go for? OOOH there's one with Buy It Now. I might need to get one of those. I mean... a box that can run the entire PowerPC OS X catalog? Yeah, that sounds like something I should have.

Last time I engaged in Drunk'en eBay'ing I ended up with another laserdisc player. And the Dark Crystal on CED, a format I wasn't even aware of until it came in the mail. Seller called it a videodisc...grumble grumble.

Unfortunately I can't blame my G4 tower purchase on tea steepin' boredom. I don't even really like Macs...heavy sigh.

But I am glad that the bottle convinced me to buy a fully decked out Apple IIe w/ a stack of software back in 2005, when they were dirt cheap!

Eh, a Mac Mini just showed up... 😁 How'd that happen? *whistles*

Well, it's a videodisc for sure, just not a laserdisc 😁 (videodisc was the commercial name of the format).

It happens

In all seriousness, I would consider that a bonus. CED is pretty cool. Completely impractical, but cool.

well the only thing i ever bought drunken ebaying made zero sense to me when it arrived, but for some reason I bought a Mr T Halloween mask

Is your avatar a picture of you putting it on? I seem to remember Mr. T having a darker complexion. 🤣
