You know what I really miss...the Silicon Money Pit

Man, those were some funny articles. That'd be cool if we could get one more...but I can see that Steve isn't on staff anymore. But those were some really good articles...ah, I remember when the first one came out. Man, those were the days... Anyone else remember them?

Well I have no idea what that was. Although It would be nice if Housen wrote an article or something. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif
So what was it about? Silicon Money Pits? https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/4.gif

So am I the only one who remembers those articles? That's kinda surprising...but then again, there aren't a whole lot of people still here who went to SE way back in the day.

I remember them, and SEs glory days, I haven't visited SE for a couple months at least now. SF is the only thing that keeps the spirit of Sharkys alive these days.

Well, I never was really big on Sharky in the "Golden Days" but I can remembers stopping by every couple of weeks and finding lots of great new articles and information, and then I decided using the forums would be a good way to increase my computer knowlege and it seems like after that everything went down hill http://dev.www.sharkyforums.forums.relay.cool/ But I did look at Anandtech forums they other day and not just are they ugly, but having 100 posts in each topic every hour makes it practically impossible to find what post you're looking for. I think Sharky has about the right number of active forum users, and that is definately a Plus.

CURRENT SYSTEM:

FUTURE SYSTEM (CHRISTMAS TIME):

*sighs*

I do remember SE in "the golden days" back with Alex and everyone else. It just seems that SE isn't on the big internet.com priority list. I know that Housen does his best, but he can't make SE his entire focus unfortunately. I guess all that we're left with from "the golden days" are the memories.

Thanks for the memories Sharky...
