Having a merry Christmas involves no thread crapping!

I know a few guys on here with that many or probably more.

True there was no official Pentium 1, but there was a first version of the Pentium (p55c/p54c) aka Pentium and Pentium MMX.

I don't have quite that many.. And the ones I do have are all well over 1ghz and I'm not letting any of them go. I have a butt load (~15) that are sub pentium class. heh.. But right now, I have a total of 6 computers in my room.

2.1ghz AMD
1.83ghz AMD
1.6ghz AMD
1.54ghz AMD
1.3ghz Celery
400mhz Slot 1 (My smallest also my internet server)

That's just in my room, they all fold.. If I knew how to make a cluster (thought it's not worth it w/486 boxes) I'd make one out of them. I also have a Celeron 830 and soon will have a 2ghz Celery folding.

Even I had 25 computers to give away, I would rather sell them. So I could buy a Porsche, or a new handgun.

Sorry, inside joke.

HA! 15 computers doesent sound hard.. but 15 monitors? i dont know of anybody that has that many laying around... Unless Klark still has that pile of MACs layning around.

Ha! I remember those damn things. I still have one 580 and a Classic around here somewhere. $35 for the entire load wasn't bad considering I sold 5 or 6 of them on ebay for ~$40 each.

I'm still gonna use one of the Mac Classics for a fishbowl one of these days.
