I bet you still remember that SMS I sent you mentioning
some senseless stuff, ne.
Here's to Clarity:
I was just thinking...
What if we create an account,PostBank account or whatever,
and then deposit some small cash in there every now and
then.
[ my 1$ = R10)
Say we deposit $30 every month from now on. Then every
holiday or after a specific time, you take all that money
and buy all the hardware you desire. Say after 3 month
Balance = $200, then you can take all that money and buy a
new M/b, fast Athlon, large DDR ram plus many other stuff.
This is all about being able to have enough money to buy
what you never thought you could buy sooner because of
insufficient cash.
Just a thought man, just a thought!

Hello there...
No, the subject heading couldn't be even better and it's
actually the best way to catch someone's attention.
WoW! I've just took some time to let what I've just read
sink(dessolve) into my brain cells. It definitely did and
did so in a big way. Thank you for this opportunity!
I'm sure to be there, so expect me around 13:55 in your
office.
Great!!!
And...

You know how we PC Power Users tends to be, we tends to
open cases and check out stuff thet normal people wouldn't
even consider.
Or as they say, if it isn't broken, why fix it...
Well to cut to the chase, I rendered my CPU permanently
disfunctional!
It is in the same state as your 1.3GHz Morgan CPU, with a
cracked Die. I was just playing around with it after
reading stuf about unlocking the CPU multiplier and
increasing vCore without the BIOS's consent. I was just
checking out all those L1, L3, L7 bridged and when I
decided to put back the heat sink back(by the way I bought
a brand new AMD 2.4GHz range alluminium heatsink plus a
beautiful torques or light blue-like colour. I bought it
for some $12.00(my1$ = R10))that I cracked the Die somehow.
So now I'm PC'less and the PC just arrived here some 3
weeks back(by the way I'm temp. living in The Orchards just
outside PTA).
I bet it's time for the Duron's big brother, the Athlon XP
2600+ processor, to do those massive processing tasks.
I wanted to build my system to run the upcoming Half Life
2, so I bet the Duron just had to go to force me to buy
it's big brother. But Big Brother need DDR400 ram and
FSB333 in order to scream at full power! So I have to buy
some 256MB RAM plus a Via KT400 mobo.
Will I get those stuff in time, I don't think so but my
board can still take the Athlon.
Anyway it's time and it couldn't have come at a better
time!!!

Greetings...
It has been a very long time since some text from this side
hit the mailbox address over there, and I hope that the
impact it creates will be welcomed with nothing but a
smile.
What a year this is turning out to be and it actually isn't
turning out the way I expected it to. Something is wrong
here and I'm doing everything in my absolute power to try
and figure it out and then do something about it.

The year 2003 actually was the best year of my entire
life(well except the day that I was born, of cause) and
everything was happening for me. I was high(no no NO,not on
drugs - My parents would kill me) and super motivated than
I have ever been and my brain cells were shooting, firing
and misfiring data and information of all sorts and it
really made me proud. I would say 'How do I figure out this
thing' and submitted the querry. It would then return a
series of electrical impulses that my execution units
executed(because that is just what they do).

Well this year is a bit different and I partially know the
answer. Too many things happened that kind of emotionally
affected me. I'm at least grateful that I haven't lost my
passion for computers and IT. You can just say that it is
just the circumstances that are not being as conducive to I
delivering high performance to the standards which I want
to live by. Well they are tough standards, but who cares.
Anyway I will let you know on some of the issues that
raises up so that I may get a second opinion from there. I
certainly don't doubt the quality of the potential from
that side(your side) and still haven't forgot what
potential resides there.

By the way, you haven't by any chance forgot to realise
your potential ne' Mem. I still haven't forgot because,
well, somethings are just meant to be and the will let one
live their lives to the fullest. If you want to know what I
mean, refer back to those e-mails that I have sent then(if
you lost them, I thinks I got some of them spinning around
somewhere on my hard drive).

Yo, its been a long time since I've typed this long and my
fingers are iching now. WoW, still a long way to go...
So there...
