I am sure some bashers of Pens fans are pretty confused about the lack

of any kind of posts about the recent Pens massacre of the Devils. Actually,

I am bit puzzled too and a bit relieved. However, I am going to put an end

to non-PIttsburghers' relief with a bit of praise for the Pens. Man, they

are killing those Devils worse than I thought. Jagr just showed you why

he is much better than his regular season stats. He is also a lot

fo fun to watch in the playoffs. Bowman should let JAgr have a lot of

fun in the next couple of games since the Pens are going to beat the pulp out of Jersey anyway.

I was very disappointed not to see the Islanders lose the final

regular season game. PENS RULE!!!

My brother is in the market for a high-performance video card that supports

VESA local bus with 1-2MB RAM. Does anyone have suggestions/ideas on:

- Diamond Stealth Pro Local Bus

- Orchid Farenheit 1280

- ATI Graphics Ultra Pro

- Any other high-performance VLB card

Please post or email. Thank you!

Does this model have any value?
