He was (almost) cutting edge in his time. Ah yes, back then AGP 8x, DDR-333, and the Radeon 9700 were king, and nV had become complacent (the 5800 anyone?). Ah, the good olde days...

Taw, wouldn't your modem just get clogged up by all the sand in your country? Our modems are 20% faster here because we can keep them in a "clean" enviroment.

He has a point Taw; the gritty desert sands from the barren and sparsely-populated Tawakalnistan are murder on modems. By the way, how does poor Boromir handle sand-clogged vents? No wonder you spend 4 hours a day repairing your home PC(s).

filters.

sorry I wasn't swearing at you! filters, blowers etc. MY pcs retain probably less dirt and grit filled than almost anyone else's, I'm so paranoid about it. And the sand problem has currently abated due a recent worsening in the weather in the UK which is geographically "remarkably close" to Tawakalnistan.

dirt in one of my pcs? heaven forbid. You know what an obsessive-compulsive anally-retentive personality-disordered Mullah of Cleanliness and Order I am. Look at my lovely tidy desktop and erm.. desktop.

Bah! Those PCs are bound to be full of dust at the very least.... unless you take a "dustbuster" and clean inside the cases every day, and I do not believe that even *you* are that obsessive-compulsive!

I'd think the dampness of the burrow would get to Typhon eventually. As for Taw's computers, those server goblins are easily trainable to carry brooms around inside towers to clean them.

Not full of dust at all. Anyone who's in the know finds my internal case cleanliness really rather remarkable. A clean case is the sign of a clean mind, just as a tidy desktop is the sign of a tidy mind.

Yeah right Taw. There's not a single speck of dust in your PCs. Those wonderful, *magical* Tawakalnic PCs .
