Memory review cache? by Bill_Royle · 2004-07-15 14:48 · Score: 4, Funny

I suppose asking for a cached copy of this article would be a bit too ironic, right?

  Well, check out the article text once again:

  Shouldn't that be cache ?

whoever moded the parent offtopic, have you at least clicked on the link?
The site is /.ed, the parent is posting a GOOGLE cache link.
How can it be offtopic?

Did you even click the link?
"ViewSonic VP2290b - High-Resolution TFT"

The only way you could be more offtopic is if it contained gay cowboys eating pudding!

Any memory brand who's name in Dutch and German means horney should be good.

Keep the karma points; I don't need them. This just happens to be a subject I researched in detail recently and, instead of finding a great, in-depth, up-to-date review here on /. that would make me say "why didn't I read this before buying," I get this old article, with insanely misinformed posts that make me wonder why I bother with tech articles here.

But you're kinda right. I brought home chocolate mousse cake from Appetito and ate it a little while ago. It rocked, but was heavily sugary. And my wife fell asleep before I noticed, so no nookie tonight. I'll be OK -- thanks for caring though :)
