Indeed it is :devil:

I was going to smash it anyways... I just wanted to play with it before hand hehe.

Why not just reformat them and use them for extra storage?

It wouldn't be worth it. The largest drive in the lot was 40GB. They were all PATA drives and most were on their way out, anyway.

Have you ever felt the satisfaction of hitting a hard drive with a hammer? ;)

So, here are the pictures of my Z80 computer. Some of the pictures are bad quality, the camera likely metred on the wrong area, and I'm too lazy to fix them in post. Pardon the graininess of some of them, comes with 1600 ISO. I shot this in Aperture Preferred with an f between 4,0 and 5,6.

I put the entire post in a spoiler, because it's so damn long.

Is that really from 2010? You look seriously young there. Far younger then a three year difference can account for.

Look at his age, and say that again.

Sixteen then, nineteen now, don't see how it's that much of a stretch. Though the haircut definitely has something to do with that... sorta boyish.

The haircut is definitely partly responsible. :nod:

A couple photos of my city (with these photos though, i can't avoid the feeling Bagheera would be glad he didn't visit asuncion :chuckles:

):

The parking lot (fifth or fourth floor) of one of Asuncion's biggest shopping centers. For some reason i really liked it and thought it made a nice photo, so here it is. Also, sorry for the blinding lights, i don't know why my camera does that.

Same place but looking at the outside this time, i really like the "rythm" this one has. The girl in the picture is my sister, by the way.

A photo taken in the city downtown, this was one of the colonial buildings if i'm not mistaken. I do wonder who's the creepy kid in the window though.

If you stare at him long enough he starts to look like he's moving.
