Yeah, 5 blocks for 200khps over a few months.  However, even with the low difficulty and low power consumption, 150 of those BTC were barely profitable and the other 100 I generated at a loss.  Bitcoins were not highly valued back then.

I took a chance (bought 1500 BTC back when all the bids and asks were multiples of 100 BTC) and got lucky!

I was excited when people started taking more interest.  knightmb decided to set up a mining farm and everyone thought he was nuts!  Eventually there were problems with the main exchange (paypal scams) and someone started a new exchange which was supposed to do everything properly and professionally (mt gox  ).

Ah! memory lane.
