My buddy has the same case, I think it looks fine.

Anyway, great video, nice setup.

BTW, which version of Flight Simulator do you run and what joystick do you use?

Developer · Feb 15, 2004, 10:13 PM

Oh my god, that sound would drive me crazy. Is that the eMac or the PC?

sniffer · Feb 15, 2004, 10:21 PM

Nice video and setup. Hope other members will follow your example. Unforunately I don't have a cam so..

it looked like a microsoft force feedback, or, prescision pro.

nice setup.
i am not even going to bother making a video... because it would last about 14 seconds, and go something like this. "hi, i'm mike. this is my powerbook, that's my airport base-station, and that's my printer."

I find your video EXTREMELY entertaining.

Bhahahhahahaha

It's FUNNY! I mean, he zooms in on the router! Bhaha. It's like someone making a vid of their car, and zooming in on the new intake, only instead its computers, and there's close ups of all the computer related crap.

Hehehehe

MisterX · Feb 15, 2004, 11:26 PM

Yeah, but at least I dodn't have a "NOS"/Type-R badges acrosss all of it (However, I am thinking about putting the Apple sticker on the router....that will give me multiple T1 performance right?)

besides, I was getting nervous trying to think of what to say and/or do. I mean, when I'm typing, I can think it out, and edit. In the vid, it's Lights! Camera! Action!

Well, I extend my deepest sympathies to you for being a Mac owner who works at Best Buy. It must be hard. I worked at CompUSA myself once upon a time, and even though the store sold Macs I was still outcasted amoung the geek culture there. Never invited to the after hours lan parties either.... ****ers.

Nice video though.

What sucks was that at the time, summer 2002, I had just gotten my Power Mac G4 533 with a 64MB GeForce 3, 1.5GBs of RAM and a 120GB WD SE hard drive. The clock speed of the machine may have been slow, but it tore through all the games that were popular at the time: RtCW, Quake III, MoH... etc. As I recall, every game that they played at the LAN parties was available for OS X. I should have just brought my Power Mac in and hooked it up, used it to shut the holes of some of the people that worked there.

hahaha ya.... you still got the chance to go back and beat one of them though..... now ill probably be reading on CNN that a guy walked into CompUSA fighting for no reason.

bradoesch · Feb 16, 2004, 12:56 PM

sniffer · Feb 16, 2004, 03:24 PM

malson · Feb 16, 2004, 04:52 PM

Man, how did I ever miss Petie? That was pretty funny

sniffer · Feb 16, 2004, 05:17 PM

Thanks Angus_D. I apreciate it, it's a classic. I am uploading it now to offload your web host right now as we speak. (I am going to share the video on another forum using my own web space) The mirror will be here.

(Hope I get the url right)

WTF?

That kid is crazy, I think his first girlfriend will have a restraining order on him after "a couple of uh we- no- months."

I bet when June came he felt like sh!t.

I Me Mine · Feb 16, 2004, 09:28 PM

It's wrong to wish a DOA computer on anyone - but for that annoying, gurning little bastard I'd have made an exception

That was nice. Better than anything I have seen on TechTV.

MisterX · Feb 17, 2004, 12:13 AM

Wonder how Petie felt when like 3 Months later G5 was announced... LOL

Lateralus · Feb 17, 2004, 12:44 AM

Oh, lay off Petie people. It was a fun video made by a nice kid who obviously has no friends other than his mother.

I liked it!

G4ME · Feb 17, 2004, 01:21 AM
