I don't really remember alot from the old days, but I remember stuff like Chernobyl and the assassination of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme. Mid-80s, those are my only early memories of notable events.
 
im sorry to say the only thing in my life time was the stupid election that happened here im pretty sure u all know about it but i was stupid
 
First really important thing I remember was the Gulf War ... can't remember anything *important* before that. What else did happen in the late 80's (on a world-wide important type scale?)

Eh 18. 19 in may... the 80's rocked Dont you people remember the sit n' spin? maybe it didnt hit in your countries.. i am in the U.S.  :) Um but uh not really anything notable...
 
Might be off topic but this is what i remember of my past.
Well, I've had four pc's throughtout my PC life. My first was am XT with those 3 colour displays. At that time, it was wow, 3 colours. It's one on those PC's you have to boot with a boot disc and with 640k of RAM. Then, came my 486SX PC. It had a 1X CD Drive. Now that was power. Next came my Intel 166Mhz Processor with the all powerful S3 Virge Video Card. Hehe, I played FF7PC on it in software mode! 2nd time playing FF7PC, i used a AMD 300Mhz processor with an Nvidia TNT video card. Of late, im using my new 1000 Ghz Athlon with the same TNT video card. Intending to get a geforce later though!

The last thing I remember was on the news was yesterday. They were talking about the milenium dome.
 
I honestly dont think this post can clock up to 1000 posts Sir Canealot, cause we dont have that many members here! Unless this topic goes off-topic again as usual
 
16.
My birthday is on Pearl Harbor Day. That's enough for me. (Who cares that I was born almost 40+ years after it actually happened.)
 
I just tried to overclock my 133mhz pc too 600mhz....!! Oops!! never mind I hated it anyway!
 
:roll: Well, if you're going to go for something that extreme, of course your PC will die a fiery death.I'd do the same with my one and only PC (P166), except it's a laptop/notebook.  :wink: Don't even know how to open the thing.
 
Of corse its going to go off topic with people from the eidos forums about!(our forums specilise in going off topic! Ask one thing and they start talking about another) Well I havent seen em in a while three sixty buggered off for a while I think. HMMM looks like its my responsibility to ensure every topic go off topic.Ah well  :)
