AGAIN?!!!

No...I haven't given up on this blog, and yes my health has kept me away for a while- BUT; My PC shit the bed (AGAIN!!!) - Hence the severe lack of updating. I'm just posting this to let you all know that I'm still trying to get everything back in synch. I've just re-loaded Win XP for the 4th time in three months. I put this newest pc together last June with the best stuff I could afford- and it is smoking fast when it comes to video editing/rendering. However, 2 months in I was getting blue screen errors and quick memory dumps and auto reboots. It's been very frustrating. It is now March of 2010, and in that time I've formatted 2 new hard drives- with fresh Xp installs, replaced the gigabyte board with an entirely new motherboard (...with a fresh install.), and as of last week, replaced the ram AND added a NEW video card (...need I even say it?). Keep in mind that every time I have to dump a HD for a fresh install I have to move anywhere from 300- 450 gigs of files, then bring them back from external drives (..a tad time consuming.) So what have I learned? First that I will NEVER purchase anything from Fry's AGAIN! Their complete ineptitude, and lack of customer service is not only laughable, but seriously "postal rage" inducing. I worked in retail for 15 yrs (Ritz Camera), and I KNOW what good customer service is. Having said that, and being the manager type who HATED letting people go, I can honestly say the days of good salesmanship are LONG gone, and that I would have NO problem STAPeLING "pink slips" on each and every "fuck's" forehead working in the computer sales and repair departments. Bottom line- I'll pay a little more, but I will ONLY buy from Best Buy and or little "mom & pop" independant stores who will stand behind their merchandise from now on! Ok, as far as my porn goes- I've taken two more off my Wanted List, and I'll get em up as soon as I can upload them to rs. I'm STILL hoping someone will find "THE BIMBO" ...
Till then, take care, and thank you all again for your support!
