JimH,
It looks like you got a rise from Harry. A big rise.


Yep. He knows I can build a better and faster computer for a better price
than he can.....thus the caveats he is now offering.

Since you really don't have any computer credential yourself, it

is a successful writer who is paid hundreds of dollar and hour to
write, wasting his time building a computer, instead of paying
someone with credentials to put it together. You can have someone
with credentials build it for less than you earn in one hour.

Is it possible you have chased away all of your clients and can't
afford it?

Duh! If you ask, you'll find people in here who work on their own
boats...yet could make more money doing what they do best while
hiring someone else who'll work cheaper.
It's the satisfaction of starting and completing a task yourself.

Smithers is playing you, Don. He's trying oh so hard as he always does
to try to get a "rise" out of me, and he's not succeeding, because
he's once again in my dumpster. As if I would take gratuitous advice
from a dipstick like Smithers.

You're mostly correct in your assessment of why I usually assemble my
own PC's. Another reason is that it really isn't very difficult. It
took me about three hours to assemble the components, and the one that
took the most time was the case, since it had so many custom parts. I
even remembered to put the grease between the CPU and its fan.

As I stated previously, I wouldn't let Hertvik squeegee my windshield.

Ditto.

I'm not trying to get anything out of you, dimwit. You made a totally
unsubstantiated claim that implied you had some sort of expertise in
things computer, and that you could assemble a "better, faster computer
for less," or somesuch nonsense.

It's a b.s. claim on your part, and you know it.

What are your "best" prices on P4 Socket 775 CPUs above 3.2 Mhz?


Let me first know what you paid, providing a link. Otherwise, kiss my
ass.



I paid under $80 for a brand-new, sealed box, retail Plextor PX-716A. Not
a repack, not B goods. A goods.


Bull****. No link, as expected. Just more BS from you.

When was the last time you went boating Krause?

LOL,
Harry they may not be any evidence he can tie his shoes, but there is lots
of evidence that you can't tie your shoes. ; )

The wind blew, the crap flew, and in the middle of it, covered with doo...

Jim "Dennis" Hertvik, computer builder to the stooges.

There's no evidence in rec.boats that you can tie your shoes unassisted,
Hertvik.

JimH,
It was a special price his buddy Robert Noyce shipped him as a favor. Harry
has always been instrumental in Intel's success so they felt it was the
least they could do.

Dind't buy the Plextor off an internet store, nor did I say or imply I
did.

I didn't say you did. But most retail stores have internet sites.

I guess you will now tell me that the store you bought it from doesn't.




Boating? Last week. Crummy weather all weekend, rainy.

So when was the last time you were out Krause? I was out Thursday, Friday
and Sunday.



I kinda figured you'd never come up with any prices.


Actually I just made a call and found one for $65.



Why don't you spec out and price a nice P4 Socket 775 box for us, Jim,
just middle of the road, so we know you're for real on this. You
know...your best recommendations for a standard PC, item, price, et
cetera. Use brand names.

Bet you won't.




Yep, I won't.....until you step up to the plate and meet my original bet.

BTW Krause............nice job in ruining what was a nice boating thread.

Idiot.

All I stated was that I did not buy the Plextor from an internet site.

I was out last week, but, as I stated, the weather was rainy all weekend,
so I didn't bother.



Good for you. You need to relax on the boat more often.




I kinda figured you'd never come up with any prices.


Actually I just made a call and found one for $65.


Yeah, there are some used ones and repacks on eBay. I saw those.



Nope. Brand spanking new.

Not a chance.


I figured as much.

As it now stands it is clear that I can build a faster and higher quality
computer at a lower price than you did. You obviously have no clue about
computers. We already know you don't have a clue about boating.

Hee-hee.

Just following in your footsteps and those of your coterie of crumbs here.

BTW, to what do you attribute your wife's recovery? I mean, it must be a
miracle, eh? You sold off a larger, more comfy boat, you said, because
your wife was suffering from some undisclosed illness, and last week you
picked up a bay bouncer, so I presume that whatever ailed her no longer
does.

Good for her.

Actually her condition is worsening. And you obviously know nothing about
her specific medical condition...what she can do or can't do.

Your post was meant as nothing but a tweak....trying to get a rise out me at
my wife's expense.

You are pathetic Krause.

But we already knew that.

BTW: Back into the bozo bin you go. I gave you a chance to redeem
yourself....something you are obviously not capable of doing.

You remain a bitter old man Krause. Get help. This short thread with you
showed the NG you need it.

In you go..................*Plonk*

I asked the same question a week or so ago.
He got upset and ranted how dare I question his wife's condition etc.
Lets see if he gives you a civil truthful answer.
