  1. My father had those exact same Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 speaker set when I was growing up. the set we had came with little legs for the rear speakers you would set up behind your computer chair. I remember my father and I playing half life 1 with them and getting spooked by headcrabs.
    if you left them on all day you would occasionally pick up CB radios from local truckers on them, and they would ALWAYS get that classic buzzing noise right before receiving a text message or phone call.

  2. ranma 1/2 was a weird show about a martial artist who would turn into a girl if hit with cold water, and would turn back into a man with hot water. His sensei had a similar affliction but he turned into a Panda instead.

  3. Working as Sony IT Technician here in Germany around 2010 and remebering these Vaio P´s as not repair friendly and slow as hell. But a nice tiny piece of Hardware 😀

  4. My Dad had that same Sound Blaster Speaker Package! We got that and Unreal around the same time – not sure if it was a pack-in title or not. But super neat seeing that after all these years!

  5. I have that exact mad dog pci sound card in my older gaming PC with a Nvidia 512 mb 7300 gt agp. I remember buying it at best buy back in the day when they still had pride…. 200 usd.

  6. That P4 is from the best series in the entire family. You’d never have actually bought that one back in the day of course, you bought the 2.4 and overclocked it to 3.2, but these days it doesn’t really matter.

  7. Hi Clint. It's not "suckage". It's "suckiness". As in "This baseball mouse sucks but I approve of the suckiness". PS – "Suckage" is what a vacuum cleaner does or what Leisure Suit Larry dreams of.

  8. I actually found in my storage a old ibm think pad laptop external floppy disk with cord from my parents old ibm laptop that broke years ago beyond repair. Course now I don't know what to do so with it.

  9. I do think i had one of those full height 5.25" hard drives in my first computer, it actually might have been an 85 megabyte drive. 'Twas an IBM PC XT and i do remember the front of the drive looking exactly like that, and next to it was a full height 5.25" floppy drive.
