Just a thought, but maybe it is time to update the forum descriptions on SysOpt...

Discuss any software apps, plus OS's: Win98/95, WinNT, Win2k, WinXP,Linux, BeOS, etc.

Aside from the grammatical error in this (no space after the comma after WinXP), I think we can remove Win 95, maybe include Vista

Discuss 2D cards, 3D accelerators, and monitors.

2D cards? Yeah...maybe its time to leave 1998 behind. :) What about something saying this is where you can discuss Nvidia, ATi, CRTs, and LCDs?

Discuss hard drives, CD-ROM/CD-RW/CD-R, other removable, and misc. storage topics.

Nothing in here about DVD media which has been around for quite some time now...

Discuss benchmarking, post your results, 3DMark 2000/2001, Sandra, all others.

3DMark2000? Again, this is 2006! :)

Discuss the RC5-64 effort, distributed.net, SETI@Home and other projects.

Isn't RC5-64 long dead? What about folding@home, einstein@home?

What do you say, time to shake the cobwebs off, SysOpt? ;)

When was the last time you heard of someone buying a 2D video card, installing Windows 95, or running 3DMark2000 to benchmark their system? ;)

I don't picture any school or government computer needing to run 3DMark2000 for anything whatsoever...

The changes weren't made, apparently we have to cater to the 300 people still running Windows 95 as opposed to the ~50,000 people viewing this website who have "gotten with the times".
