I got a need for speed!
 

So right now there is a lot of activity and I'm sick of my 56k. I got a new cpu this spring, p4 1.8 blah blah, but the dial up is going to be the death of me.

What are y'all running DSL or Cable? I'm thinking cable will be faster on account of where I'm located, but I was looking for input.

Also, my clock loses time. Tonight it is only 5 minutes, but last night it fell a half hour behind. Any ideas why? And don't say because its a PC Chris.;) This happens at work a little too, different computer. This one is real bad. Do I need more ram? Somebody get Cyber or Skyman in here, please.

I happened to be A+ certified in PC repair. That's only part of the reason I like Macs so much more.

Replace the battery on your motherboard, and go with DSL.

Take care,

I think there's actually a battery that runs your clock on your computer. It's probably about ready to bite the dust....

Yes, there is, and it's on the motherboard.

I must have got a dud battery out of the box. Bummer. I think I'm going with cable at least for now too. I'm really far from the nearest switch for DSL. Cable is cheaper down here too my almost $20 a month.

It won't matter, you'll love either one, so go with what works the best for you. I've had DSL for 3 years now, and have no regrets. A buddy of mine in Oxnard got cable 2 years ago, and switched to DSL 6 months ago because the cable got so slow. That's Oxnard, though.

Im a certified A+ idiot when it comes to oversized spell checkers.

My battery is the CMOS keeper. When its dead your dead.

HERE YA GO, MIKE...

Thems some big guns!!! But that is not what WAS there... I just am having way to much fun picking on you!!

Side note:

I used to be a barteder too!!!

Bartending's great, huh? What kind of bar were you in?

Joe-

Enjoy!
-Chris

OK, I will stop picking on you!! LOL Maybe....


I was in a restaurant but a spirits were one of their specialties!! I did it for about two years, it was really hard to walk away from!! The guy mooning me after I cut him off helped though!! LOL Right in the middle of a packed restaurant!! No shame....

LMAO.. I prefer restaurant bars... Good money and usually cool people!! I've had many "incidents" at some of the bars I've worked at though!! :eek: Incidents that would make my desktop look g-rated!!

AWESOME pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very cool! :) Thanks man!

Alcohol does VERY bad things to people!! I defiantly know about that!! Inhibitions out the window...

Shut up Chris!! I don't want to hear it and you know what I am talking about!! LOL :D :p

Why, whatever do you mean, Shelby?

You better watch it mister!!! (said laughing while red in the face) :D

Joe- Check your mail again. :)

Shelby-
Dear, I'm afraid I just don't have any idea what you could possibly be talking about...

Let's see, what could it be...

Oh man!!! You are terrible!!

I just realized Mike started this thread, he better keep his mouth shut too!! :)

:eek:

Take care,
-Chris

heheheh now I know too! ;) :eek: :p

Ok, so I SERIOUSLY have no idea what you are talking about. Unless..... nah, you can't still be hanging on to that one.;)

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

Take care,
-Chris

Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

I'll get you two back, just wait!!! Someday you won't expect it and then WAAM right up side the head. I all I will say is I told you!! :D

Great, she's into that, too!

:eek:

Take care,
-Chris

She's always said she was ornery. At least I think that was the right word. I'm going to duck now.:D

OH, is THAT what she said... I would have sworn it was something else.

:D

Take care,
-Chris

That's what it sounded like, anyway.

Yeah, her "H"'s are kinda silent...

;)

Take care,
-Chris

HEY YOU TWO!!

Don't be puttin words in my mouth!!! I never said that. I just said I'm not nice!! Good play on words though Mike, I just about fell out of my chair. Good thing I have a since of humor!!

Buttheads :D

Yes that is my come back!!

:p Shelby

Thank you, thank you very much.:D I honestly couldn't remember what you said, but I knew it was something to that effect.;)

Okay. Time to retire for a while.

You're on your own, Mike, be careful!

:)

Take care,
-Chris

Great, now I'm in trouble. :D I'm actually going home, so Shelby, you can slander us all you wish with no opposition. Just know what goes around, ends up having gone around.;)

Oh, I'll still be here, I'm just going to try it from the bleachers for a while. I'm going to try to, anyway.

Take care,
-Chris
