Dude, I was stuck on that one for hours! Great site.
Watch the spyware! Most of all, do not click the banners. I fell for that on another site. Had to format the harddrive and reload. Pain in the neck.
Great whoopsies. I loved it.

Clicking on banners from any site is asking for trouble. Killsometime.com has thousands of cool videos, I just spent a couple hours on there myself.

Yeah, I spent hours on it. I got so burned out on them, I couldn't stop watching them! More, more, more! There is some serious footage there.

I was watching that site and the 'puter suddenly shut off. I am now clearing a virus out of the boot sector. I got it watching the White shark eating seals. I skipped that one last night, and watched it today. It shut down in the middle.
Just a warning.

Woke up this morning, the 'puter was booting up, and down. Up and down, up and down, it will not go past turning on, before it shuts off.
Last night I did a virus scan. Norton got one, and as it got it, the 'puter went black and started booting up, and down, etc.....
It is an E-machines, new, and I called E-machines. It comes with a warranty. I spoke to them on their pay per instance service line. The machine comes with a warranty. They asked if I had turned it on. Somehow, I couldn't tell them it wouldn't boot while still in the box. At any rate, the sum of the conversation, since I turned it on, the warranty no longer was in existance. Same with the extended warranty. The machine is warranted as long as it is not turned on. They told me I would have to get it repaired locally. My cost.

Let me get this straight, the warranty is good if something is wrong with the computer as long as it's never been turned on? How would you know if anything is wrong with it? Does the warranty state this?

Yeah, you do not get an hard copy untill after you order the 'puter and take out the extended warranty. It also has a no cancellation clause. Unconditional no cancellation. I am going to format the hard drive, and get a Presario to install it in. That way at least I can recover some of my outlay. I need a second hard drive for my graphics programs. Hopefully, someday I will learn to use them. It looks like everything is Caveat Emptor.

What's the extended warranty for? In case you decide not to turn it on for a couple years? That's like putting a warranty on a car that's only good if you never drive it. You should check into this, something doesn't seem legal, especially if you were talked into paying extra money for an extended warranty.

My wife's daughter is an attorney in Baltimore. Yes, it is not only legal, but, it is accepted as general practice.
Tomorrow, we gonna get an HP Presario. I am going to take the hard drive from the E-machines and add it to the Presario. The garbage will get the extra parts. The memory is minimal, small video card, really just plain junk. The hard drive is ok though 82GB. I will hook it up as a slave rather than paralell.
That is the world we now live in. Perhaps that is why we have so many customers at out shop. We treat everyone like they are us, and deliver better than we would accept. If I make a mistake, I make it right, and add to it. My cost. My work is my signature, my handshake is my bond.

Thanks Randy!?! Since I've watched it I can't get the melody out of my head!?! I keep hearing it over and over again. Just kidding. That is totally amazing. I have seen him play before and it blew me away. Must have taken a while to master that sound and skills. Gotta admit that it is definitely original, and cool.  Wonder if he has an album or any thing that can be downloaded? Could listen to him for hours for some relaxation. Here is another site that is similar. My nephew found this and it has some pretty cool stuff that will also take up hours of your time. www.ebaumsworld.com |
