    Smoking hot deal! 32gb DDR5 for only $400! /s

    I should have upgraded 6+ months ago... I had the money, but was like "eh I don't NEED it", I could have got 64gb for what I paid for 32gb (170ish back in October?)

    It Was Forty Years Ago When Microsoft Introduced Windows, Joining a New Wave of Graphical User Interface-Based Operating Systems

    Yeah ME was a brutalized 98SE build with all kinds of extra BS and no real upsides. Every ME install I came across got downgraded to 98SE ASAP until 2000 workstation started to be viable. Drivers were still a big problem in the early 2000's and if you wanted games to work, you stuck with 9x...

    It Was Forty Years Ago When Microsoft Introduced Windows, Joining a New Wave of Graphical User Interface-Based Operating Systems

    As others have mentioned, that list is missing a TON. I remember when Windows 1 and 2 were out, I was working at Radio Shack in the late 80's in HS... at that point Deskmate was better (looking anyway). Win 3.1 changed all that even if it still ran on DOS. Hell we were STILL running windows...

    Smoking hot deal! 32gb DDR5 for only $400! /s

    Oh and in the VERY NEXT EMAIL I got from Newegg there is this. Why would anyone just buy the ram? This combo isn't too terrible. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4848265 And I love that it says "2 item combo" when it is clearly 3 items.

    Microsoft Removes the Ability to Install Windows 11 via a Local Account; Online Accounts Are Now Required to Complete Setup

    I know everyone is different.... but 95TB of media? Are you doing zero compression 4KUHD rips or something? I have a jillion movies, shows, and music and I'm like maybe 10TB

    35% off @ $259.99 Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K - 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) up to 5.5 GHz

    I'm eyeing a 265KF combo at Microcenter.... $200 less than the 9800x3d bundle. Last several builds have been AM4. And while I have enjoyed the multiple CPU upgrades on AM4 boards..... maybe time to give Intel another shot and save 2 hundy in the process. I know the 9800x3d is the GOAT and all...
