I still have a USB Zip Disc plugged into this machine....but I never use it. It is just sitting there like the Maytag repairman collecting dust.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

It's been nearly 10 years since I told them I'd install a replacement hard drive next week.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-09-2003 10:02 AM                        An *original* Zip drive? Ten years old and still works? YIKES! I thought most of those things would have been junked by now. Now, a ten-year-old Novell server -- That's a thing of beauty.  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird! Posts: 340 From: Manitowoc, WI, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 11-10-2003 02:54 PM                        I have a friend who got the new satellite internet, and he couldn't say enough good about it.... until he found out a little item in the fine print... They give you a wide open throttle until you hit like 2 GB of downloads or so, and then they throttle the piss out of you for the rest of the month... apparently they call it "load sharing" or something like that... Now he says "Don't get it!"  |  IP: Logged
