Some of you may have wondered where Cookie and I came up with the term 'Spankard'. Or not.
In choosing my new motherboard I was looking at the reviews of a bunch of them. I had found a funny review of an Albatron Motherboard that I shared with Cookie.
Pros: Cheap. Great brand to recommend to people you don't like.
Cons: I GOT SPANKED OFF THE NET. Being an alt.flame regular, I was engaged in a flamewar and the board died on me. Consequently, I was unable to respond to my opponent, who rightfully claimed spank. I am now known as a SPANKARD. Thanks, Albatron!
Other Thoughts: Beware Albatron's "3 year warranty". It specifies only ONE year of "free parts & labor" (aka you pay to ship the bad board back and they send you a refurb), and the 2nd and 3rd year it's "free labor" only (i.e. you pay to ship the bad board back AND pay for "parts" and they send you a refurb board). This warranty stinks. Thanks, Albatron!
