within 1 month, give or take, i will have a computer!

[:D]

the owner of this computer (not me) has decided to get a new 1

due to screwups by dell, it is being delayed [:(]

but, i am getting my own

it will b scratch built by me and my brother in law

the same B.I.L.A.W. that tried to get UV to work in the first plave

i believe he has a comp sci degree

it seems that i will soon join the fighting in the south pacific [:D]

and with the apparently iminent release of WITP, the construction of my super computer is just in time


and with John picking out the parts, u need no longer fear my incessant posting about parts [:D]

[marky]

it will have the following capabilities

1. GAMES
2. dvd burning
3. cd burning
4. pix
5. movies
6. internet
7. music


i may have missed sum capabilities


processor, mobo vid card will be as good as possible

hard drive will b big

memory may be as much as 3 GB

tho it will prolly b only 2


any thoughts?

[marky]

i will also b using it for tape conversion of my 300+ tapes into dvds

Marky,I'm curious...EVERYBODY(!)is aware of the problems you had with your "old" computer,and all the problems you have had getting UV to load..Was that a Dell??...Was it a "factory-made" Dell????
I am using a "factory-made" Dell and it is better than the 4 IBM's I have had,and honestly UV is so user friendly to load,it does everything but wash my truck and bring me coffee.....
If it was a Dell,did they offer any help??(BTW,my current CPU costs LESS than the Atari 800 I started with 20 years ago![;)])

wow

lol

didnt realize i was an urban legend lol

or infamous [:D]

it was(is) a gateway

i cant rmember wat type, but i think its safe to say that this particular type is out of productyioin

the owner of this computer wanted to get a dell, but shes had HORRIBLE service from them

not calling back, things like that

they said theyd call her back, its been about a week, and no calls

[marky]

BTW

thanx to ALL who made such great efforts to help me get UV running

even tho it did not succeed, it is not ur fault

the only thing at fault, is the computer

and thanx for being so patient [:'(]

Marky,We empathize with ya',(most of us have programs we can't load or use anymore,it happens every time a new OS comes out..
I personally have real issues with Gateway as a whole,in my opinion they sacrificed quality (and personal customers in homes)in order to flood the business/office customer,and put most all other customers in the "later" category..
As I recall,they recently filed bankruptcy(or laid off a bunch of people to avoid it),and are trying real hard now to win back customers IN THE HOME they had neglected..
(IBM did the same thing approx 8 years ago and they too had to file bankruptcy,and I see they too are trying to re-enter the residential market..
I hope they all make it,they just need to quit hiring the adviser that came up with "NEW COKE".Sorry Marky,that might be before your time,ask your brother-in-law about "New Coke"....[;)]
