  Re: GEEKS HELP!
 
I didn't want to taint all of your responses. They want $1099. So am I hearing that would be a good deal, maybe not a great deal? Would *you* touch it? -JOhn (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Guide to Star Wars vehicles?
 
Does there exist any guides to the Star Wars vehicles on the net? Not the LEGO ones, that is, but the ones from the movies. I'm thinking of something with lots of drawings and diagrams. I've already seen (URL) I find the images to be a tad (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) If that's a Gateway then I'd say look at a comparable model on their website, then think maybe 75% or less of that price. I wouldn't pay more than maybe ... $1100-1200 for it? I wouldn't buy it at all, but if I were recommending it I wouldn't (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Any good books on jurisprudence?
 
Has anyone read any books on jurisprudence that they could recommend, specifically in the areas of history, sociology, or anthropology? The other night at the bookstore I almost bought (and probably still will someday)... (URL) was more immediately (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: geeks help!
 
(...) Just looked at www.gateway.com and a slightly better system, new, is $1449. So take away some graphics acceleration, software bundle, and 8 weeks of use and I'd guesstimate $1000, but then I'm not in the states and have no idea about PC values (...)

  Re: OS advocacy (was: Re: Perl rules!)
 
(...) Let us know how it goes, won't you? I've heard others say the 366 can be reliably clocked to 550, but I'm skeptical right now. I do assume you're talking Mendocinos here? Jasper (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
