This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've included the photos below. Was the ability to change languages really an Ultimate only feature back then?

I forget which site I found that from, but it seemed in line with the other articles I dug up with the same search. It's entirely possible that I accidentally found a higher-range model rather than the discount one. Also possible that it was much cheaper the following year, since things were moving pretty quick back then. All I specifically remember from that era was buying an AMD Thunderbird from TigerDirect in 2001 for $99.
