i think that when most people first get the internet for personal use like games,boards, and porn etc.. they are fascinated by everything there is. but once they become acustomed to this life style of counter strike, posting on boards and porn they get pretty much fed up with it? YOU CANT DOWNLOAD MUSIC FOR EVER... and most songs get old by the time you get around to using them...

the internet is too over rated in my opinion.. other than boards, and counter strike its just a load of crock...

but hey i only use it for boards and counter strike.. other than that i dont care really. but im sure some people can find constructive uses for the internet. businesses, communication etc... OTHER THAN SENDING PORN TO UR COMPUTER AT HOME FROM WORK ETC.....

www.thesnookerclub.com is a great way to waste time. online snooker games that dont necessarily rely on you having a good connection either. 1MB download too. only free for 21 days though

On a 56k line sometimes it feels like it takes forever:D

Good site bizmark. I like the way it doesn't have a problem criticising rather than just being a a fanbhoy site. The essay on the Klingon Forehead Problem is interesting (funny as well). "We don't talk about that", I laughed like an idiot when I first watched that episode.

what you meen "feel's like"

bizmark · 05-03-2004 12:36am

aye its a great site i love the pic's of the real world ship models sites like that are much better than star trek books Imho

one more good one is www.ditl.org its a tad more fan boy but it has far far better ship info and battle section's but most of its is just educated guessing from what he seen on screen notting wrong with that mind after all it is a tv show
