Hey I was going through all my junk and I ran across an old Pentium CPU. All it says is Intel Pentium.. its a 100 mhz and it works perfectly

As I sit up in my bed looking at all the stars, I begin to wonder... WHERE THE HECK IS MY ROOF!?

Unfortunaetly, you'd be lucky to sell it on ebay for $1 + shipping. If you get more, let me know how because I have a bunch of pentium classics to get rid of.

None, I threw away about 100 of them 2 years ago.

I've still got a socket 5 pentium 60Mhz that came in my first ever computer. Lately I've been considering putting a car battery accrosss a couple of the pins and seeing what happens.

some of those old white 8088 chips were worth a bit right? I thought some had solid gold pins.

Not now, but I imagine that 30 or 50 years from now it will be worth something. If not 50 then a 100, or more, but it's obvious that it'll be worth something, eventually.

A long long time ago, but I can still remember, how that music used to make me smile... <A HREF="http://www.nexus.hu/zonix/DIGGER.MID" target="_new"><b><font color=blue>Digger rulz</font color=blue></b></A>

Do you have the fear that one day you wake up to realize none of this actually matters… ?
