  • I am so old I remember most of the pirate stuff and did all of it. I am pissed at myself for disconnecting drives and messing up boot order, won’t boot so far. I had an old pc (still do) they were IDE drives in it. The boot drive was over one 1tb and needed special driver to break the 1tb barrier. I think it was from Acronis’ partition editor. I have at least 300gb in flac music, tons of movies (mostly yify). One day I hope to revive it if I can find an anything partition reader so I can nab it of the drives. I will make it available for everyone to grab an old slice of pirating.














  • Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    Back in the day the HP Laserjet 2 was the bees knees. They were wicked workhorses that just kept going and going no matter what. Sold a ton of them when they were new.

    Fast forward a number of yrs and I went into used computer biz early on with a couple people. Did great. Had this trend of hubbys cleaning out basements at wife’s request bringing in none other than old Laserjet 2’s. Business’ loved them and would buy them soon as we had them. Put an ad in computer papers saying bring in your old HPLJ2’s top dollar. Cleaned and fixed up and they flew out the door. Now you could not pay me to use HP.
