Wow, I never got into that stuff.....
My roommate and I were very much into the online first person shooters of the day, Quake, TeamFortress. It was truly an obsession... We averaged seven yours a night during week days, weekends the mayhem would start at six in the morning and wouldn't end until midnight.
Spending $300.00 and up every six months to get the latest fastest video card / cards....
It was insane.
Back in the bad old days of Cable Internet... (1997 or thereabouts) The tech would show up and install your modem.
The guy looks at my desk, and says Two Computers? Yes one for playing games and the other for running the server when we have matches....
So he installs the modem, he wanted to know what the specs were for my primary computer, they keep that data for customer service...
Now keep in mind this was the spring of 1997...
He asked what processor.... Twin P-3 running at 500MHZ...
Ram?? Oh 256MB I am going to expand it to 512....
What OS NT-4.0.... He was visibly shaken... and asked what do you do with that....
"Play games"... Then he is like Seriously what do you do with it??? I said Play games and surf the web....
It's fun to see the reactions of normal people when confronted with abnormal behavior.
