See if you can spot all the little side jokes. (It’s not really that hard.)
Let me know if you think it’s funny!

That’s nothing gents! I’ve been running this old difference engine since the 1840’s. It meets all my needs of handling heavy tabulation of polynomial functions and I don’t plan to upgrade anytime soon.
Heh, the man is right. When you don’t have to spend money on peecee software licenses, you have more left over to buy cool hardware! I try to keep my linux desktop on pretty good hardware, while the lone windoze box, a Pentium 2 400 Mhz, sits abandoned in the corner.
concur! tired!
i’ll have to occur with the fellow commenters above – my parents typically buy a new pc when the windows (xp) rot has settled in, thinking “its getting slow”. now they got vista, which reportedly “is even slower than the last one”..
i for my part have been on the same pentium m 1.5 512 mb laptop since 2002 + ubuntu runs just great for my purposes! my testing servers are mostly (a lot!) older.. have been considering a new one for a while, although theres no real reason
About a year ago I had a screaming fast 500mhz with a whooping 256 megs of ram and a cool 8meg video. It was a mean Linux machine capable of installing from a live cd and playing cool looking games like solitare and gnu chess.
yay i third that thought.
Yep, I definitely would turn that around. The “average” user, “Oh no! I don’t have the latest Windows, and my machine is almost a year old! I need new hardware!”
“Geek”: “The H.264 1080p HD encode of ‘Ah!Megami-sama’ just won’t play on this 500MHz Celeron. It’s been 9 years, I guess I should upgrade.”
I’m also using a P4 with 512MB of Ram. I’ve had the machine for 5 years, having since upgraded with to 802.11G and a bigger 7200rpm drive…
Nice, though my PC’s are all old, and I find no reason to upgrade as they all run fast enough for my needs, the fastest running at just over 2GHz and the slowest is running at 133Mhz. I do my gaming on a PS3 otherwise I am sure I would have had a trip to Big (huge) Box to build a new rig by now.
Fair point. Especially since the computer I am typing this on is a Pentium 4 with 512 RAM…
Pretty funny. Except that a lot of linux geeks I know (myself included) generally keep PCs for ages; some still run Pentium 3 boxes as their primary system. It’s windows gamer geeks who tend to upgrade every month.
I love picking holes in things
Good effort though :p
