Sorry, that sport f-ing rocks... and I don't play a lot of sports.

It makes football look whimpy.

Guess you havent played actual football either. Sure the pads are their to protect ya, but that other person has tons of metal on also, you watch this guys fly down the field wearing 50 extra pounds slam into your shoulder and then tell me if you still think football is whimpy.

Oh no doubt football is not a whimpy sport... just rugby is so awesome.

And quite a bit of tackling goes on in rugby... I am not sure what you meant by avoiding a tackle.. because there are ways to avoid it in football as well. Tackling takes place just as much... just the play doesn't end every time someone gets tackled or the ball touches the ground.

Maybe apium will post one of his rugby stories in here. I know he has some great ones about his dad who played rugby. His dad used to be the guy that they would throw over the line.

Not to rain on the rugby parade, but I have good news. I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

OK, on a serious note, would anybody be interested in purchasing some older servers??? They are a few years old, but they still run and are in pretty good shape. I got the one cleaned up today and got all of the dust off the circuit boards. The one I got cleaned up is about 9 years old, but runs like she's new (the date on the processor is 1997). Here's some quick specs:

- HP Netserver LC3
- Intel Pentium II 450MHz processor
- Three 9GB SCSI hard drives
- 512MB RAM
- Windows 2000 SP4
- Two 10/100 Ethernet Cards

I know, it's older than dirt but it runs like new. It's a great little entry level server and it probably wouldn't take much to upgrade it. You can find memory for it all over the internet. If all else fails, you can harvest it for parts. If anybody's interested, let me know. If not, it goes on eBay. I'm going to take pictures of it, so let me know if you want me to post pics.

I have another old server I am working on. The good news is that it is newer and faster than the one I have up now. Also, I have some other computer parts and two telephone systems if anyone is interested. I can verify that the phone systems work (and quite well). We only got rid of them because we upgraded to one central phone system.

Please note that I am only advertising this stuff here because I'd rather sell something to people I know than some unknown peeps on eBay.
