maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 13 May 2003 : 20:26:11 Ok, I'll say it now.... I Have A Caffiene Addiction. It's expensive, and it's fun, although i do get sick of it sometimes...especially when you consider that Coke costs about AU$2 per bottle. Now, to try and stop this bloody coke addiction.... And no, don't tell me to try coffee! -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1

It's basically sugar water (or more accurately, high fructose corn syrup water). Not good for me by any means.

G4from128k Full Member USA 873 Posts	Posted - 14 May 2003 : 04:52:10 I prefer a more concentrated caffeine installer. A double shot of espresso is the .sit form of caffeine. It will definitely turn off processor cycling in the morning. Of course too much caffeine is like excessive overclocking -- things start running hot and unstable.

danamania Official 68k Muse Australia 1193 Posts	Posted - 14 May 2003 : 05:02:41 Caffeine is my saviour. I've had problems with migraines on & off since forever, and the only consistent fix for them that works on me is a double strength instant coffee, with two tablespoons of sugar, and a couple of aspirin as soon as I see the auras of a migraine starting. Usually I'm back to normal within an hour It's heaven to have them fixed so quickly. Without that little fix I could be hiding in a darkened room for 2-3 days. 3 cheers for caffeine! dana

It will definitely turn off processor cycling in the morning. Of course too much caffeine is like excessive overclocking -- things start running hot and unstable. Actually, for me, it goes like this: Coca-cola is the .sit form of caffiene, it reduces excessive processor cycles, and therefore cools down the system and makes everything more responsive. Excessive consumption of Alcoholic breverages, however, are like excessive overclocking....if you want to see what I'm like when I get drunk, grab your nearest G3/300 and OC it to 500 Mhz and see what happens.... And you'll see what can happen to me when i have 4 cans of Bundy Rum and Cola. Oh yeah, Dana, caffiene is also my saviour, too. I've sometimes found it to reduce or eliminate headaches, and worked wonders for reducing my depression symptoms back last year in Da Year From Hell. It's also great to sit back, relax with a Coke and watch a new movie. However, iDo believe that i've had too much of a good thing. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1

I used to get them the worst back in the Junior High, but have kept the caffiene intake rather steady since over the last decade and a half. Rarely have a headache now.

~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 14 May 2003 : 06:08:51 I've been addicted to Coke since our club sells it for 86c a can (chilled). As a matter of fact, tomorrow I'm off to buy 300 cans for the low, low price of $139.90. ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0

Kady Mae Junior Member USA 261 Posts	Posted - 14 May 2003 : 11:26:03 Since I'm going to be going on a 10 detoxifying fast, I'm on a plan to cut down on my caffine so I don't get a massive withdrawal headache. Right now, I'm down to one cup of tea in the morning. (I miss diet Coke.) 68K's liberated: 4 68Ks adopted to loving homes: 2 PowerMacs adopted: 1
Clinton Full Member USA 700 Posts	Posted - 14 May 2003 : 12:23:14 I am in love with caffene. I am not addicted, though I do consume it in bursts erratically (ie, six shots of espresso I am going to have tomorrow morning, I have had a hankering for that since last month) Coke/diet coke are consumed less than root beer, partially since all of the nasty things coke can do to metal and other things. random caffene fact: rats injected with caffene reacted as though they were fed a strong aphrodesiac. (if you dont know what an aphrodesiac is, google for it, though only if you are over 18) it was in the paper today ;) CCC Commander Promotion: 19 Mar 2003 13:06:30 68k Macs Rescued: 2 Pluses, a 512KE, a Classic II, a Q650, a Q660AV, an SE/30, and a MacII Contraband rescued: Power Computing PowerBase 200, a PM 8600/300, and a PM8500/180 Apple //s rescued: Apple //e
~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 14 May 2003 : 18:13:47 Also, caffeine is a great appetite suppressant. We've actually got a limited supply of Jolt, for the princeley sum of $1.50. Yeah, and the 300 cans will last the club about 2 weeks... ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0
