[09:36:22] + Null_Anonymous Glarg

[09:43:00] + Null_Anonymous Negative.

[09:43:38] + Null_Anonymous But, I must ask, who still uses firewire these days?

[09:44:24] + Null_Anonymous I mean, didn't USB kill it like... 10 or 15 years ago?

[09:44:41] + Null_Anonymous Maybe almost 20?

[09:45:29] + Null_Anonymous I mean, my current machine doesn't even have a firewire port.

[09:46:00] + Null_Anonymous I have nothing but USB 3.0+ ports.

[09:46:16] + Null_Anonymous So, a purpose built expansion card.

[09:46:37] + Null_Anonymous Like it's 1995

[09:46:58] + Null_Anonymous And the mobo doesn't have peripheral ports on-board.

[09:47:08] + Null_Anonymous but PCI was.

[09:47:40] + Null_Anonymous And boards back then barely had ports for anything more than the keyboard.

[09:48:05] + Null_Anonymous So, if you wanted anything more, you needed cards. Either ISA or PCI cards.

[09:49:00] + Null_Anonymous ALSO, most processors back then didn't have heatsinks.

[09:49:32] + Null_Anonymous 3v processors.

[09:49:55] + Null_Anonymous Lets go back to 66 MHZ 486 processors.

[09:50:05] + Null_Anonymous True computing power

[09:50:48] + Null_Anonymous AMD and Intel both made them.

[09:50:51] + Null_Anonymous Same socket.

[09:55:43] + Null_Anonymous Weird.

[09:56:03] + Null_Anonymous They should just agree to a common socket and build processors for it.

[09:57:03] + Null_Anonymous It would redcue development costs.

[09:57:11] + Null_Anonymous reduce*

[09:57:38] + Null_Anonymous Which... would be good.

[09:58:42] + Null_Anonymous I, as the customer, would like to have a board that I can upgrade the processor and ram in for like 4 or 5 years.

[09:59:11] + Null_Anonymous Having a good board really reduces my overall costs in upgrading.

[10:00:14] + Null_Anonymous ....

[10:00:23] + Null_Anonymous That's annoying.

[20:13:14] + Null_Anonymous Glarg

[20:13:24] + Null_Anonymous How be ComputerTech?

[20:13:55] + Null_Anonymous But... I like tipping ComputerTech...

[20:14:53] + Null_Anonymous Lol

[20:15:27] + Null_Anonymous I mean, why would he? They're not bad.

[20:19:48] + Null_Anonymous A cyanide suppository...

[20:22:54] + Null_Anonymous But.. Corkball...

[21:11:56] + Null_Anonymous Why. Just... Why.

[21:32:40] + Null_Anonymous Hmm

[21:32:46] + Null_Anonymous But, why?
