well wanna hear my story tuff noogies here it goes

ordered I-O FROM CRCUIT CITY (oops forgot caps wa on as there is on light on this freakin io kb)march

got it late april got a ver2 with 4 ide pins clipped so i soldered a 40 ide cable to each pin (whew that was a job and i was shakin also connected led to pins 39 and 41 or some pin i dont know

the day after this the geniouses wrote a qnx flash prg and i followed the directions explicitly

i wrote dos and a few little files on the san disk enough to play mp3s in dos with mpxplay and a zip drive then i ordered the avatar shark
(waste of money)

i was happy playing von krashenbern and some mame/genecyst roms

then my buddy traded me a tosh 540m notebook drive for the shark(sucker)

it is a 17mm drive so i couldnt shoe horn it in the case so i cut the strutts under the base and fit it in there (like i said back in may)

now this week circuit city has a d-link usb nic for $30 with $25 rebate whoo haa

i told them it was for the i-opener and they all seemed to deny the exsistance of such a device

then i went over to check if the apex dvds still had the back door
they didnt and i asked them if they had the back door and they said if i wanted one i could get one on the net for $300

luckly i stocked up on 3 of em before the hoopla and told him such and he said can i buy one and you know what i said

$300 bucks buddy


well i have my io now playin mp3s over the our house intranet and running explorer talkin to you guys what a ride huh

man i kick my ass every time i think about the websurfer man i could have had all my genesis roms on that with the cheapo gamepad from gumpusa

but that is another story

Er... no offence or anything but is this a ligit post? Its some sort of nightmare cross between a sarcastic BS post and a real post where you wonder what is going on in the guys head.

Let's just admire it as it is, unexplained, in all its confused glory.
