I got my Voodoo3 yesterday. I would sound more excited, if I had a lot of reason to be. First of all, I think this one has issues, cause when I first turned my machine on after putting it in, I could hear it booting up, but there was no picture. After turning it on/off a couple times, it worked. Weird. Well that's when I came to realize that since I have a slower machine, the Voodoo3 isn't faster than the Voodoo2 in some cases. And in other cases, it's slower. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I booted up today to check email, the screen just went black except for the cursor.. then the machine crashed. When I pressed reset, I got the same crap again where I could hear it booting, but have no picture. Finally, after half a dozen on/offs, I just pounded the side of my 'puter, ready to say screw it (actually I did say that, just in a more colorful way). But when I turned it on that last time, it worked. Piece of crap.

My other complaint is that I can't use the same low resolutions in ZSNES that I could with my old Matrox Millenium II. When I try to, the whole computer just crashes. So I'm left using higher, slower resolutions. Blah. Oh well, that's always my luck.

I noticed the message boards haven't worked the last couple days or so. Not that anyone uses them anyway, but one would expect them to work despite that. So I'll dump these idiots and use something better.

I'm grouchy. And the asshole hacker wanna-be script-kiddies are still packeting DALnet, so so much for checking my memos.
