Is this all it takes to get a new pc around here? NES - id like a new stove and fridge while we're at it lol! Cmon man dont leave!
Theres prob thousands of unused computers just here on NES. People dont throw away computers, they just stick them in a corner and buy a new one.Seriously we must be able to crowd fund a device of some kind for en bloc. I can’t imagine the forum without him
Excellent! I was hoping someone had contact info in case he couldn't check in.Like another person in this thread, I, too, thought you were dying. Jesus, Matt... what a bad title lol ... If you're serious about pulling the plug cuz your wicked old computer is dying...... someone here can donate a computer to you or a laptop or a tablet. Or we can all pool together something for you to get something. We need you on here to balance things!
If we don't hear back from him in a week or something... I'll give him a ringy ding ding on the ole tele if someone else on here doesn't beat me to it.

See you again in less than a week. Unless you go to counseling. You can't just quit cold turkey. It doesn't work like that. I have a spare desktop and monitor if you want it.
My fridge died last Sunday, but I haven't stopped eating or drinking!Is this all it takes to get a new pc around here? NES - id like a new stove and fridge while we're at it lol! Cmon man dont leave!
Because everyone wants to upgrade stuff even when their older stuff is still functional, you can't even give away working used computer equipment anymore. I have an older laptop that's very slow and I installed Ubuntu on to help it limp along... I don't use it though and couldn't give it away if I tried. Besides, Grant probably has some newer equipment anyway that's better than this (and also can't be given away).
Pretty soon I'm going to be upgrading my PC, which means upgrading the 2 24" monitors connected to it (because it uses obsolete DVI interface)... they look at good as new. $0 resale value. The PC is very fast thanks to lots of memory and an SSD, but I'd be lucky to fetch $100 for it.
Anyway, the point is, unable to afford a PC isn't an excuse.
Enbloc, I have a house full of these friggan things (most not nearly as old as that) if you want something let me know, I'll set it up nice and I'll deliver it next week for the price of a beer or something. PM incoming....
