I checked it all out. Much more than any of you gentlemen even deserve
to have.

What are you babbling about, Needs Nair Badly?

Ahh.. Too early in the day to kick vermins' asses. But cleaning up this
place is some mighty fucking job and I need to catch my breath.

One can only imagine the ungodly stench of you and your rolling shack.

Fuck you of course. That's what I have for COLA frequenters minus just
one soul. Farley. The only one still breathing.

Do you have a spare mattress on your trailer floor for when Feeb's Mom

Nah, I'm not jealous of your frugality. Indeed, if I had a need for a minimally capable PC, I have a couple of them sitting around that I

for more than 10x your bargain find.

And rest of you, place "Christmas lights" inside them. Gift wrap your computers.

Hahhahhahhahh :-))

You Bozos will get more out of them that way.

Which still comes back to the question of if one's capability needs are
being satisfied or not, such as you and your $12 Special: it seems that
being able to post texts to USENET is met, but is there anything else
that its needed for which is more demanding? If not, great: you're all

The $12 Special goes well with lubuntu, and the package blends nicely in Usenet ...

Figured as much. One of my old PCs that's being kept as a 'maybe
project' is IIRC an old Celeron running MS-Vista that has a small SSD
for its boot drive which could make for a Linux boxen for something. I'd
be thinking more 'file server' though, although I'd have to check to see
if it is even new enough to be SATA, and if so, how many bays it has to
stuff with old small hard drives to waste some electricity on.

I've not gotten to it because I already have two Linux boxens doing
that, so do I really need a third one?

Imagine being a groupie of a dick!... Only a female mind ..

My 7050 is way too good for here.

It's the weakest, slowest, most outdated system here. Like yourself.

Now that I took a moment about it, I think "DFS" became a groupie of it
not as much for having a female brain, but because he learned from it a
dick like mine created the first cro-magnon, and that he's a direct descendant. He has respect for my dick. You can bet on that.

The $0 OS nobody wants
running on the $12 hardware nobody wants
in the $100 trailer nobody wants
occupied by the $0 loser nobody wants

You're on a roll, wolfman!

I do. I've had two occasions just last year when I needed to do
something with a working computer and printer and for some reason none
of the 5 computers I thought were working could help me.

Equipment always needs to be maintained, which isn't free. Stuff that's unreliable is increasingly not worth the space it occupies.

I don't know about you, but I never quite know a computer set up is
there when I need it.

I consider reliability & availability/uptime to simply be other metrics
of performance that one should include on one's requirement list.

Also I don't know how many pets you have. I have enough to ruin any of
my electronic devices years before their time would be up.

Not having stuff get chewed up is the product of prevention + training.
Ditto for not having stuff get knocked off a table to the floor, etc.
