Well in all fairness the dog could probably run faster than the car could go anyway.

True story, 15 year old me thought the sunfire was a pretty cool car. It was a first car dream car, if I remember correctly. I was disappointed to hear it was a 'chick' car, but that didn't stop me from liking it.

I pined for the late 80's Sunbird as a teen, but only because it had this mysterious, exotic thing called a "turbo." The button on the computers of the day also suggested they had a turbo too.

You can say all you want. I don't think you're going to change a desire I had 12 years ago for all of about a month. haha

I'll bet that very few people on this forum can even figure out why the first few generations of PCs even HAD that button.

You know that's pretty embarrassing for me considering I was quite the comp nerd back in the day. My guess (without google) would be a slight overclock effect, probably for data retrieval. That's pretty much what the old IBM's were used for: storing data.

In my high school computer repair class, with the onset of Pentium 4's barely just hitting market, we were forced to repair and and bring back to life old 386/486 IBM's. Everyone in the class was dumbfounded why we were working on dinosaurs. Didn't matter; it was an easy A.

Almost got expelled from Computer Programming I though for taking Doom2 off a friends FTP space (another relic) and putting it on the school network. Next day, it was at 35% efficiency because of how much the cache was taking up.

Damn, I really miss those days of ye olde internet.

Surfing porn on dial up, good times.

1. Find thumbnail
2. Click pic
3. Wait for enough of her face to populate line by fuckin line so you could see if she was a butterface.
___A. (busted) back out, ain't nobody got time for that
___B. (hot) let it run while you go make a sandwich

4. When you had 4-5 pics eject the full floppy disk and pop in a fresh one.
