Yeah, I have an Abit KT7-RAID motherboard running a Duron 700, a Voodoo 3 3000, 256Mb of RAM, a disk array with 85Gb in hard disk storage, and it blows away any other computer I've had or used. AMD's Duron is by far the best processor out there for the price. In my view AMD is the best chip maker, and with the release of Intel's Pentium 666 (umm, I mean "4"), the rest of the world knows it too. Just wait until next year when AMD releases it 2 Ghz processor.
I use to work in a tech capacity for the California State Government, and the way they fired me was the biggest insult to me ever. The decision was made to fire me about 2 weeks before it actually happened, I was told by my superviser that nothing was really wrong, just that his bosses were really watching the tech people closely, and to just lay low for 2 weeks and everything would be ok. Well, by doing that the State, at least according to their lawyers, "gave me my 2 week notice." I had no clue anything was wrong, I just did my work and went home. Apparently, however, everyone else in the office knew that I was fired and treated me as such. I was a persona non grata, it was the most embarassing thing I have ever experienced, everyone knowing that I was fired when I myself didn't. As for security issues? You have to love Government security, as of yesterday (a month after I was fired) my security pass still worked, my Novell acount was still active, I still had as much access as I did before I was fired. Good stuff.
