Surfing the Internet, I came across this gem of a forum post by a true hardware enthusiast named Dostoyevsky77:

” That’s bad news about the Q9450. I hope that’s wrong. I was hoping for early March. I had a dream last night that I was back on a C2Q and it made me happy. I love my E8400, but I miss my quad. increasing human longevity hgh ”

Nice…… This guy even dreams about his computer. If you don’t understand what he is talking about, you aren’t a true computer hardware enthusiast.

On a related note, I hear the Q9450 should be available for sale March 17th. Enjoy! monitoring coumadin programs

I just took a trip to California with my wife to relax between school semesters. We purchased a “City Pass” at Costco, which was really a bargain considering full price rates. For $205, you get a three day hopper pass to Disneyland, Seaworld, San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal park, and Universal studios. I had a really great time. I had not been to california since I was 13, so it had been a while for me. I realized a few things while there.

First, I realized how great the local zoo and theme park are where I live. The Utah Hogle Zoo and a theme park called Lagoon. The San Diego zoo was almost a dissappointment to me, with the exception of their primates, it seemed like they had only one of each animal per exhibit, one rhino, one tiger, and one measly Lion hidden inbetween the bears. Now maybe there are a lot more animals over in the Wild animal park, which I did not visit, but I thought that the Hogle Zoo was every bit as good as the San Diego zoo, and probably less crowded.
Next, In case you didn’t know, Disneyland is for kids. (How could I not have realized this before!) They have one decent rollercoaster in their California Adventures Park, maybe Space Mountain and that is about it. Our local theme park Lagoon has much more exciting rides than Disney. Luckily we ended up going to Disneyland on a slow day, and hardly waited in any lines. and basically rode every ride in the park in one day.
I liked Universal Studios, yeah, the rides are pretty lame as well, (Does anybody know why the T-Rex on the Jurrasic Park ride is somehow flying in the air unsupported by anything? Is it a ghost T-rex?) What I really liked about Universal Studios was the incredible Mall that is right outside the park. Every shop had a very elaborate storefront that extended over the entire building they were located in.

What I really hated about the “futuristic” rides in these theme parks was the fact that their “futuristic” graphics on the videos waiting outside to get onto the rides consisted of 3D Models that made a 1999 version of  Bryce 3d look good by todays standards. You would think with all the money they make they would update their graphics on their rides. It seemed like most of the screens on the video were done in mspaint. If you have been to any of these theme parks lately, let me know if you feel the same way. quitting depakote
