People will do anything while they're drunk. Stuff like unprotected sex, and canceling movies on the greatest games of all time.

I was talking about Halo. If you're talking about sports then the greatest games were the 1992 Cricket World Cup games.

As for your HP, sorry HP BIOS locks you out of overclocking features. Considering the buy parts from the lowest bidder you would probably screw up your PC if you tried to overclock it from Windows so just forget about it on that machine.

I couldn't agree with you more! I went to all of the games in Boston. What a series.

My biggest thrill was being in the Astrodome when Nolan Ryan broke the record for no-hitters with #5! My wife wanted to go home in the 7th inning because she was bored! LOL!! Second to that feat was Willie Mays catch off of Vic Wertz in the 54 series as a 10 year old kid! All great stuff!

Russ

I would have disagree also there was Only 1 home run king b4 hank aarron,babe ruth, and needle pock'in pill poppin ,barry bonds no other than the josh gibson #20 only thing was they did'nt allow his in the majors leagues cause race issues back then but in my book he has the record no matter what league there is check the stats.

That's "Say hey Willie Mays", BTW! LOL!! I grew up as a kid with 3 Major League Ball Parks, easily reachable via Public Transportation. My Mother was a Yankee fan, My Grandfather a Giant fan and My uncle a Brooklyn Dodger fan. Life was good! LOL!!

I couldn't agree more that Pete belongs in the Hall of Fame! The things he did as a manager had nothing to do with his playing years and what he accomplished back then!

Best Regards,
Russ

O RLY?

Why is that?

I thought the 10,000 rpm was a godsend for loading the OS?

I checked the status of my order from Ebuyer, "Goods loaded onto a van"

I hope the van has wheels.

yes this is kinda way off topic here sorry

Russ you lucky dog you... i would loved to have seen Nolan Ryan toss one of them 7 no hitters. my oldest son is named after him.(Ryan)
not bonds but the newest roid head (Clemons) wish he was Nolan...lol

i seen Nolan pitch agains the reds in 84 i think it was, the reds knocked him out in the 3rd inning but he still had 7K's in 3 innings

id have to say the greatest player i have ever seen(other than pete or anyone on the big red machine) would be Ken Griffey JR...they made the movie the natural about him...lol....when he was healthy noone roamed centerefeild like him. nad please dont test his arm.also 594HR without roids.......

ok back to the PC world.
