another one of my finds

j-dogg · 24-September-03, 09:19 AM

so this morning about 7:30 AM i was out on a bike ride and there was a Nascar Pro Digital with pedals sitting on the side of the road. I took it. Works great, nothing wrong with it.

How the hell do I find stuff like this?

On the subject of controllers I recently got a Logtech Freedom 2.4 Cordless joystick... it is niiiiiice.

Especialyl when you consider that I was still using my M$ 3D Pro from 1995.

WE all didn't find it cause we were all going 80 miles an hour with tunnel vision, you just happened to be the first to see the side of the road this week LOL

People throw away the stupidist things.

List of things found on roadside by me and friends:
(and dumpsters)
about 1000 Firecrackers (the big ones)
a 12 foot long steel pipe

a record player (works)

Numerous old business comps (think 8" floppys)

15 apple IIes

100 Dictionarys

a fork
Well u get the picture... ppl donate ur trash.

TiZakit, man screw the rest of that, you found a friggen fork!

good finds though, my friends and i could have some fun with the pipe and fireworks, well before they all turned into stoners and me a computer geek

i love that feeling of looking in a Dell box on the side of the road, and finding a trinitron monitor inside. it goes kinda like this:

OMFG!

::glances around while he hords the find::

OMG!

::drives well over the speed limit, back home, screw the schedule::

it WAS broke, but i took to and got it fixed for $40. i bardered it for a peilter.

well lets see here my list of dumpster dive finds...

business AT rig with an Asus P5A-B mobo inside (one of the best SuperSocket 7 boards out there)

the 17" monitor on my main rig (i think i posted it here)

the 3.2 in my main rig that holds all my Half-life mods and .mp3s

one of the rigs in my room was on the side of the road and my dad found it, it was the secondary rig that you see in my sig, but it had a K6-II 450. In the SuperSocket 7 days the MS-5169 was the shiznit, especially considering he found it when Socket 7 was still a fast computer. And 256 MB of PC133 was $25.
