Want to know how accurate boot magazine was with its yearly tech previews? It was often called booterdamus by those in the know in the industry. NO, we made that up but someone should have said that. Afterall, the magazine correctly predicted such things as: a Pentium II on a 100MHz front side bus for 1998, 19-inch CRTs reaching the “low” price of $850, and 15-flat panels going for $3,000. Of course, that was nothing compared to the prediction of the Voodoo2 being the Hotel Sierra videocard for the coming year. All this and more in a look in this weeks edition of Old School Monday. - Gordon Mah Ung

Ah, internet speeds. I remember when I went from 56k to 1.5Mbps cable, and I thought that was the most bitchin' thing in the world.
Now 1.5Mbps is pitiful. The internet needs 8Mbps minimum to run.

Ha, 112 kbps modem. Old School Monday is Awesome. Keep them coming! And yes, do something about the spam. If I had a good answer for it I'd give it but not so much.
