Clocker, the box of stuff sounds decent. I'll take it as long as the shipping is reasonable (you know, no overnight am stuff).

OS would usually be Windows XP. Price cap, reasonable for a sole proprieter.

Tannin and Tea win hands down on quantity, but speed and accuracy are a different story. :)

Sorry Tannin, I don't sell the Ti stuff. I usually sell the GeForce4 MX440-T from MSI. I wish we could go back to cooler video cores and use heatsinks only, for speedy cards. I just don't like have those mini fans on the video cards. They never seem to last, especially with all of the dust...

What would happen is that the Catholic Church would adopt the drinking of Coke and find a way to show that it is not sinful. Then they would corner the market by coming up with their own Vatican Cola, buy substantial shares of Coke (to control them), and then Shun Pepsi for its immoral...

Tannin, those pictures you show look similar to the natural state of where I live, except you have more trees (yes, your barren forest is better populated then my natural surroundings). However, because I live in this place they call Southern California, everything has been manicured. We've...

I'll take a size 12, loose in the length, but tight in the width. Boa or python if possible, that rattlesnake stuff just doesn't wear very well. Something dark too, it should match by black felt hat. :D

This subject has been briefly touched in other threads, but I would like a central place for this data, as I am interested in tape backup for some of my customers; I should say, they are interested in tape backup solutions, and I'm happy to sell them the product. I would prefer to go ATA/ATAPI...

I just had a customer hand me a Dell quote for a higher end system, and the challenge is equally as hard when building the Intel route. I did manage to come out only US$122.00 more and I included some minor alterations. Instead of just a CDR-W, I included a 52x CD-ROM plus the same speed...

Looking at the Stanford statistics for our team, it is commendable to see Kristi in the sub-20 rank consistently adding points - thanks Kristi.

How about Phillip Morris or South African Brewery?

Besides her signature: "Queen of the typo", I think that: "Don't ask me what I think, I was hired for my looks", would work too.

I read that there is a group of scientists that expect another minor ice age in about 50 years. The last minor ice age lasted from 1300 to the 1850. The New Ice Age Worried about global warming? Talk to a few scientists at Woods Hole. Oceanographers there are seeing big trouble with the Gulf...

All of this work and no Mai Tais? phooey

Anybody that recommends themselves as a person of integrity, modesty, and patience, prove that they are the opposite through their arrogant personal commendation.

It is tough Coug, I wouldn't even attempt to compete with Dell when it comes to Intel products. I'm sure the purchasing power of Dell is amazing when it comes to Intel, and Microsoft.

That is beautiful Tannin - words of wisdom, sure to go unheard by the president.

Sorry Herbie, I like your Avatar much more then your sig.

Brain Exercisers Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying: "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain, so......... Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or...

You have quite the farm of crunchers Jake, despite the XP2000+ not working at the present time. You moved by the Bartender faster then a frog fart in a funnel cloud.

The Inquirer likes to point out that 24/7=3.857 hours, whereas 24x7=168 hours. :D

Nice pictures Doug and those videos turned out well too. In the first video it looks like you recorded the deer relieving itself.

Time, I heard that you got a brief sampling of Fats Domino. Any impressions of him after a few weeks of hearing his music?

Is that a 24/7 INQ style, or really 24x7? :D

Are you kidding Herbie, that old house Tannin lives in couldn't support systems crunching at full speed. :D

The Bartender is now crunching with: PIII 933 XP 1800+ XP 1900+ I don't know how long they'll last, but I hope it makes a better dent then what he had before.

How about MSI? There 845E Max (MS-6566E) is a pretty simple board, with only integrated sound, no RAID and 6 PCI slots.

Quite right JMP, it took more than one can.

:D

Well, I found out what helps this tedious job: open a beer and a can of dry roasted and salted Macadamia nuts. :D

Just think of the joy you get out of posting, Time. :mrgrn: Nevermind about the quanity (by the way, I think some of your posts have more value then Tea's (Buck hides, trying to avoid that little red furry beast)).

David, I'm glad that some of our patrons were able to help you. Please come back, at least for a visit and a few words.

It's Thursday evening, and I'm working on a customer's system. I'm copying about 4.5 GB of data from a Quantum Fireball CR 5GB drive to a WD200BB drive, it is like watching paint dry!

Thanks for the tip Time (at least someone researches these things :lol: ).

The idea is to not make the customer feel stupid, but instead, help them see that an even more intelligent decision would be to buy from me!

Good to have you back Coug. Bartender, drinks on me!

This man needs a stupid sign. How to make a fool out of yourself 101, by Steve Ballmer.

If this is not your business (I hope you are profiting somehow), you are quite tolerable to accept these jobs out of simple kindness and generosity.

Good for you, I would do the same. I've found that if you tactfully explain the pros and cons of owning a Compaq system and a system that I build, they can see the light (yes, you can make up some pros about Compaq), and recognize that Compaq has too many cons.

Network would be a good solution. How big are those files David?

Mercutio, why don't you finish the job, and completely destroy the integrated sound chip. That way Windows won't detect it anymore! :)

Keep up the work slo, it makes for great practice.

Mr. Wilson and the Ballarat duo - well done.

Poor Coug. Doesn't he have access to dial-up? Or is that down as well?

Those are the exact same issues that my customer is having. High CPU utilization, and screen freezes. I've already told them to uninstall the drivers and go with a different mouse (good thing I don't sell Logitech).

Right now I'm dealing with the 3-Alarm Customer (indirectly). The customer I dealt with bought two systems. The second system went to his friend about 60 miles away. She is having so many issues and is terribly upset, because she can't get her work done. So, she is complaining, complaining...
