I have that system running like new now with much help from the group and mostly Paul and GMAN whom I would like to offer a special thanks again. It was loads of fun working on this little project, almost like building a new one from scratch which I did last month as still have it sitting beside me doing nothing. I just like playing computers I guess. The awesome part of your quest was that you never gave up and kept us all up to date on your failures and triumps. Paul, I , and the rest of the group here help out not for kudos or browniebuttons, but because we ALL have been in the same boat as you and so we pay it forwards at every chance to help out. I wish there was something I could do to repay you all. Maybe I will hack your bank and add some money to your account. Nah, just hack the bank to get the $5 a month they are now stealing from my checking account back to me. .. |
