Bits and Pieces

1) My computer has never have any heat problem and I don't understand what people are complaining. I asked "what kind of computer do you have?". The man answered "266 mhz Celeron".

2) I am using a AXP3200+ and it never ran over 26C stressed with air cooling. I said "that is very good" and asked "how do you keep it so cool?". The man answered "I keep my room temp to no more than 60F; I like cool places".

3) A fat guy said "No idea why people spend so much to cool the computer." I asked "Give me some idea." The fat guy said "I just used a second handed house fan blowing on the side of computer and left the panel open."

4) An old man starred at the SF-609 and said "That's neat to have a CB (Citizen Band Radio) mounted."

5) A well dressed man gave me an idea how he cooled his OC'ed PC by simply connecting the house A/C outlet into the case. Try not to use the PC in winter months.

6) A gamer, as how he called himself returned to me after he brought a new rig; proudly present to me what he just purchased. An AXP 2000+ system with onboard video and a high capacity single stick 256 ram.

Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed my trip.

1) mine was cooled passive

2) mixing C/F = no good

what is 60F?
3) good thinking!
4) "old man"... says it all?

5) effective, Liquid3D does this too to get extreme temps

6) Tetris gamer?

Chilly! Had my test setup at 7°C few years back in winter using aircooling

yesterday a friend asked me to install internet (phone line) on the pc of his grandfather. Becaute the man only use it for reading e-mails he doesn't need a better connection. But my friend had a problem with installing it so he asked me to come over and look at it.

He was trying to get internet without a modem and the phone line plugged in a NIC.

We where lucky that his grandfather still had his old modem. And after a few minutes we all enjoyed (tuut tuut tuut krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

Maybe not a very funny story, but I'm €20 richer now

UPDATE: I just heared of my friend his grandfather died today

but I don't know if it's that grandfather. I hope not.
