Are you really running 98?

Is that in a virtual machine?

I was ashamed but if you run it too hell yeah.

Actually the last time I installed or did anything with 98 was a couple of years ago when I bought a 166 MHz Libretto off eBay just cuz. It sucks that I killed it with a soldering iron trying to overclock it to 233 MHz.

BTW, I refuse to believe that you actually run 98 as your primary OS. You've made enough comments about computer shit around here to where I know you're rolling better than that.




RIP Libretto

Damn that thing looks nice. Yeah It was a virtual machine, but I do use it for shit for teh lulz. Scientist will come in here and say it was photoshopped.

Wierd shit. Looks like the rxforum got hacked. Maybe these fuckers are going on a run of hacking sports forums?

Thoughts on Facebook IPO?

http://money.msn.com/stock-broker-guided/article.aspx?post=daac10bb-4b25-419d-84de-3d7e9f9e7e29&_nwpt=1

I don't see how it is valued at $100m with no earnings or revenue (that I am aware of). Are there ads on FB? But isn't Facebook already for old people?

[sbjj]

Facebook supposedly already has earnings. And they are expanding at a fast clip in other countries. In 3 years, they will be the largest publicly traded company in the world.

So are you buying it? Everytime I think abot an IPO I talk myself out of it and it goes through the roof. The last one was Visa, and I still hatemyself for it.

I know that Facebook is going to be adding a pandora like feature, which will probably kill Pandora's stock. But that was another one that I considered, because I think Pandora is awesome.

I don't have facebook, how are they earning money?

LOL! I was so close to loading up on V. I also still can not believe what i did NOT do many years ago. I almost sunk 25K into YHOO the day of the IPO. It shot up that first day, and so I just said forget it. That 25K would have made me a multi millionaire.

I am going to buy some Facebook.

I have no clue, I know there is shit plastered all over the place though. And boat loads of games you can play(I played a poker one awhile ago). But what I do know is that just about EVERYONE in the world will be on it in a few years. That alone makes it SO valuable.

[MMA_scientist]

I am just concerned that the kids are going to move on to the nect social media site soon. But that is what happened with V too. It went up, and I thought I missed the boat. I would be so much richer right now had I not been a pussy. Screw it, I am buying some. I would rather lose money that be full of regret again.

Damn that thing looks nice.

It was super-pimp when it was first released, which was right around 1998. I wanted one badly, but I was only 15 and they were like $1300.

They had tiny keyboards and tiny screens but the cool factor was overwhelming. The funny thing is that when netbooks came out a few years ago they were all the rage, but I was like the Libretto was doing that shit a decade ago.

this shit was off the chain in the day.

Yeah, I can remember a time when I would've thought that was cool as hell.

I met Herschel Walker today. He was at B&N doing a book signing. I talked to him for a few and got his autograph.
