I've never made an OP on this forum but I moderated a forum fifteen years ago, had about 10 users. Shouldn't be that different and I think I can google everything I need. I've got 10 minutes available at 4:50 on Friday, should we save money and just do this thing in-house?

Sounds good. Once you've got it shipped we can throw it over the wall for the mods to maintain.

We can't do that, Sales has already told all our customers about all the new features my neighbor's cousin's whiz kid son is going to introduce in his next OP.

I’ll ask neighbor’s cousin’s son! He says bitcoin will be replacing all fiat currency worldwide within the next 5 years so we should get out ahead of this. Will bitcoin run on our existing AS/400 and Win2k infrastructure? We can’t upgrade because the CEO needs his kitchen remodeled.

There are times when I'd like to go back to the late nineties/early 2000s when I was working on mostly Macs, System 8.x and 9 machines. It had downsides, sure, but it was kind of fun, too. :kiddo:

Assembling a PC for myself reminded me a little of the enthusiasm I had for computers when I was younger. I put together another one for my father for his 79th birthday since all he wants to do is play HL 2 DM, and he loves the thing.

He's going to be 80 soon and he spends a few hours each night shooting people online. I've failed to convert him over to a newer game.

When I open it, it says it wants to run 'goatse.exe' and wants me to approve it, should I do that or not? I already did and now my computer is flashing Adam Savage's butthole at me.
