No. I'm pretty sure they outsourced fabrication of the bulkheads to the union shop down the street. In the Carolinas? Doubtful. More likely, former dental patients from south Florida. Or dentists from Indiana/New Jersey who have gone bad and had their licenses lifted. Since you can get away with almost anything in Florida, some also setup shop there. Florida does not have dental license reciprocity with any other states. The pass rate for out-of-state dentists trying to get licensed in Florida runs between 10 and 30%. So much for your theory, Don. Florida is tougher on most Professional licenses because of the constant influx of people. They have there own continuing education standards. Florida's building codes are tougher than amost anywhere else in the country as well. donnie is lost in the brown fog rising from harry's ass........he has really stepped in to make up for kevin's lack of inane posting. |

Harry,
Why don't you tell JimH what you want and need and see if he is able to come up with a better system? It sounds like you are concerned that he will put together a better system. I am curious, why is a successful writer who earns hundreds of dollars an hour with his writing skills, wasting his time building his own computer. It would seem you would be much more productive, using your writing skills, and paying someone $20/hr to assemble your computer. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

Harry,
Since you really don't have any computer credential yourself, it seems that JimH has hit a very sensitive nerve. I am curious, why is a successful writer who is paid hundreds of dollar and hour to write, wasting his time building a computer, instead of paying someone with credentials to put it together. You can have someone with credentials build it for less than you earn in one hour. Is it possible you have chased away all of your clients and can't afford it?

When should I expect mine to fall apart? I haven't hear much about it, either. Maybe Hertvik can build you a computer to test for the date of dissolution. On the cheap, of course. Wow, I got dragged into another discussion for no known reason other than your on going infatuation with me. So how about it Krause. Care to bet that I can build a faster, better PC for a cheaper price than you just did? Or are you all talk? Me thinks so. ;-) Oh, sorry. I have you blocked on my main newsreader account. You're really a piece of work, Hertvik. Why would I retain a credential-less nincompoop like you to do anything? Assembling a PC from pieces and parts ain't rocket science. I've been doing it successfully for 15 years. *I* could build a faster PC than I did. Why would I need a credential-less nincompoop like you to help me do that? *I* could build a better PC than I did (whatever better means) by choosing different components. But I chose the pieces I wanted for this desktop, and they perform exactly as I thought they would. Why would I need a credential-less nincompoop like you to help me do that? *I* could build a cheaper PC than I did by choosing different pieces and different suppliers. Why would I need a credential-less nincompoop like you to help me save a few dollars? I'm using a top-end ASUS motherboard? You have better? Doubtful. There are competing, equivalent lines, but ASUS is top-drawer. I'm using a PC Power & Cooling power supply. There are equivalent brands, but they're not better. I bought a LianLi aluminum case. It is the standard in aluminum cases. I bought a nice, middle of the road, ATI video card. my choice of that card was deliberate. It does a great job handling my business-related graphics. I don't run any demanding games. I have two top-drawer SATA hard drives, including one that runs at 10,000 RPM and is very fast. Tom's Hardware recommendations. They know more than you do. Got the top of the line Plextor DVD and CD writer, and a top of the line Plextor CD-R. You can't do better. Everything went together in a flash, passed POST the first time I fired it up, and Win XP Pro found and installed all the correct drivers. So, again, I ask you: why would I need the help of a credential-less nincompoop like you? |

Don,
I don't disagree with you, but Harry is the person who emphasized the need for computer credentials. Since Harry does not have "credentials", and he makes hundreds of dollars an hour, shouldn't he allowed someone with credentials put together his computer? "Don White" wrote in message ...

JimH,
The reason Harry can not get a rise out of you, is because you have not fabricated a fictious life for rec.boats. Harry is so insecure, whenever someone points out his lack of a lobster boat, a degree from Yale (hell he went to U of Kansas),a young beautiful wife (I have seen a picture of her, she is nothing to write home about, his description of her is similar to all his other lies) or a successful company, he cringes. Have you noticed that Harry has been on his best behavior (remember we are talking "Harry Standards") since his latest lies were proven to be lies. The key to controlling Harry is just keep his ego deflated. "*JimH*" wrote in message ... "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

JimH,
It looks like you got a rise from Harry. A big rise. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... *JimH* wrote: "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... *JimH* wrote: "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

But that's the whole point. No matter what anyone pays for anything, it is pretty likely that someone else can, with minimal or moderate effort, beat that price by a little or maybe by a lot. I told you before, my criteria included a DECENT price, not necessarily the lowest price. I had considerations in addition to price, and these included a good return policy, decent tech support if I needed it, and a good reputation on the part of the seller. I also told you that *I* could beat the price I paid, if I wanted to do so. Here's a crumb for you. I paid under $80 for a brand-new, sealed box, retail Plextor PX-716A. Not a repack, not B goods. A goods. What's YOUR best price for this piece? |
