    Here is an old thread going back to February 2001.

    What do you collect?

    Oreville - It's good to see they've saved all the posts on this server. February 2001 is when the new forum was created on FuseTalk, prior to that we were on a different server that was painfully slow. Everyone who joined prior to the change were given a "Feb 2001" start date.

    Paul, when you write that the old board was painfully slow, I think you are actually being kind! Remember how bad that was? My computer used to time out just waiting for a thread to open!

    By the way, it is really cool to see an answer I gave almost four years ago and have it be the same today.

  • Not only was the site slow but most of us were probably still on a dial-up connection compared to the high speed stuff they have today. You did not even want to get a post with a big picture on it.

    Well then, you must feel right at home over on the NGC board. It takes forever to load for me, and I'm on a T1 line.

    At home I'm on dial-up and I have no problems with the NGC site, at work we have a T1 line and I similarly have no problems.

    It's good to see some of you old timers back over here again, even if it's only for a visit!

    I wish I had saved some of the threads from the old board.

    My favorite of all was Scotty and his bust dollar.
    He could paint a mean picture with that backhoe.

    That puppy is still lost in the dirt somewhere.image

    I have to think someone here saved some of the old greats on their drives.
    I want to think Dog might have something.

    Now that I think of it some of us might spend too much time here
