Like a phoenix, driving a camaro out of the cold dead ashes of a week old campfire. . .

Its a very sad thing when your computer fails.  Three years ago, you pick out each component, and then out of the blue, it's dead.  You think maybe its the power supply, so you order a Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650-Watt TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply to fix it, and its still dead.  So I figure my motherboard/proc or some combo thereof is toast.  So now I have the sad duty of re-marshalling my forces to assemble what will be the finest, fastest, most spectacular machine that can be had (without spending a redonkulous amount.)  It wont be the best computer on the planet, but I can guarantee it will be the best computer I've ever used or had.  Thank you and good night.  If anyone could use some Corsair TWINX 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHZ (total of 4 sticks totalling 4096), let me know.

I'm willing to wait.

So, can you estimate for me please how many years it will be before I can on a consistent basis see a movie or tv show completely uninterrupted?

And now, for something completly the same.

hey, I just found out you can self publish on amazon/kindle, so even though i've been giving it away for free for the past 20 years, now you have the option to pay for it.  I didn't say it was a good option, but it is an option nonetheless.

If you cant see the link, just search Amazon for "The ReCreations - or how not to learn anything about Shakespeare but have fun doing it.  The MacBinky/Binklet/Binkeo and Juliet Edition. [Kindle Edition]"

google not so helpful as a search engine anymore

Ive noticed just in the past few weeks that any time I try to do a search for a product on google, to try to get legit reviews and information, all I ever get is a bunch of crappy pages that look like they've been auto-generated just to drive traffic for ad revenue.  Like these pages are supposed to be a review blog or something, but what they are is the text from amazon reviews, sometimes from two or three different reviews plugged together.

useless.
