Only 4??? I thought about retiring my older Asus P2B-S with a P3 450Mhz processor..

But I just love that board so much

That is the slowest active setup I have... I have a few P2 233 - P2 400 in the closet

You should see my electric meter... That sucker turns like there is no tomorrow

Perhaps if you get it spinning fast enough it'll bust... then you won't have to pay for electricty! That, or you'll have to pay an infinate amount

Oh man, I just noticed that I'm almost out of the top ten! Geez, a guy feels respectible at #5 and decideds to take a break for a while, only to find he's knocked down a mere two weeks later by a bunch of upstarts! Every time I try to get out 3d Mark just sucks me back in!

"You should see my electric meter... That sucker turns like there is no tomorrow"

can I get near it? I am hot and this looks like a nice fan

a nice 2.8c at 3.5 would do wonders easily

Vertices, Here is a new score for me the only differance is I got a extra 5mhz on my memory its 645 now and I went back to Win98SE heres the link not bad 298 point increase http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6822114 I don`t think I`m going to be able to break 14K until I get my NF7-S 2.0(hopefully next month).

lonewolf what kind of cooling you using? I need it to update your score. The database now requires that I input your cooling system when I update your score.

Also~~WooHoo!!! Looks like I probably got a job! It's at a small company that is growing really fast. They are a network/security company and they are currently specializing in high speed wireless networks. They acted as consultants for Nascar in setting up wireless access throughout the racetracks. They also did some Hospitals in Daytona.

They want to hire me as an Office Manager who also goes on Tech Calls and Consultations.

Money is not anything fabulous but more importantly I would learn an immense amount of knowledge from the owner who is a "Genious" for lack of a better word. Also money should improve as the business grows.

I was just hanging out with him the other night with some friends and just talking to the guy made MY head spin. I was really impressed with his knowledge.

So hopefully all goes well and I get the job.

I have a meeting scheduled with him tomorrow so wish me luck!

Congrats and good luck bud!

I know how much fun I had with my Mentor

**mikeysg** · 07-30-2003, 12:18 PM

Vert, best of luck to you, hope you get the job!

**vertices** · 07-30-2003, 12:21 PM

Hey thanx guys!

I'm sure I will get it. He already asked me when I could start. It's not even an interview, he just wants to sit down and talk some things over with me over a few beers.

So it sounds like I got it already I'm just trying not to get my hopes up.

**Colossus** · 07-30-2003, 01:04 PM

Ohhh I love those....

I think the best interview I had was a one question and then right to the support team

The question was... "Why should I hire you!" ROFL

But before I was promoted to supervisor, the director taken me out to a local pizza shop for some pizza and beer (lunch meeting)... Man did people in the advertising agency drink!

I hurt my big toe over the weekend

So I am limping around the home today... Man does it hurt! I might even spring to go to the doctors even though I hate them!

That's nothing compared to the agony I felt when I broke the tip of my fibula and tibia (the two bones of the lower leg, just above the ankle)

The pain was exquisite, beyond words.

It was in the equivalent of high school, I remember shedding a tear or two

. Hospitalized for 2 days and had my left leg, from the upper thigh to my toes, put in a plaster cast (imagine the itch in the unreachable area of the leg!

) THAT was suffering!

**Colossus** · 07-30-2003, 02:16 PM

Well yeah... True...

But still I am having a hard time walking!!!! The throbbing pain is intense!
