    No, that gave the Apple IIe (and below) an 80-column text display (up from 40 columns).

      I also used to do water cooling and overclocking, but I came to my senses and scrapped all that. The power supply that powers my (5) hard drives also powered two water pumps, and a four additional 120mm more fans. One last thing, just because they CAN draw that much power, doesn't necessarily mean they do... :)

        The kind he was saying means he has dirtyness in his mind.

        "Popping the cherry" is an expression used to indicate doing something for the first time. Although it is not necessarily polite it is also not usually vulgar. Although, I suppose using the phrase in the context of a dead baby joke would catupult it to beyond offensive and nearly obscene.

          I would rather have more than I need than less. My current HP box which will shortly be converted to a linux box does not have enough juice to even add another HDD! It is pathetic.

            80 columns meant higher resolution ascii porn (I've seen old school computer porn). I count that as graphics. ;)

              You scrapped overclocking? Or is your computer a part of some exotic fountain project? :-D

                Meh, amateurs. I have a seven kilowatt PSU in my computer, and it doesn't just make my lights flicker - the street lights dim too. http://www.bttlxe.com/davids_computer.jpg[^] Saves me a fortune on the central heating bill. It does kind of suck for LAN parties though...

                            I stopped overclocking because I stopped watercooling.
