I know, Use what ever you want... Opinions aren't true!

SirKenin, if it aint something you have to do... prooving yourself, why did you type a freakin' essay!?

SK, we bow to your greatness and proudly proclaim 'We're not worthy!' I also love how you assume I (and others that don't show their age) are 'kids'.

Youtube videos as proof? And here I was thinking it was posted as a half-joke. Gee, silly me...

I have businesses, factories, government agencies, accountants, doctors, dentists, jewelers, investment brokers, printing companies, teachers, authors, real estate agents, etc. that lose money by the minute when their computer systems go down.

And to think my Home Client list consists of about 50-ish families and my Small Business list 'only' has about 40. (Those are monthly-accounts, they do not include the random phone call saying 'Hi, so-and-so told me you would be able to help' Clients that I help once and never see them again.) Geeze, what have I done wrong? <flails> Again, I bow to your greatness.

In closing, I bet 20 years ago, you were the same as BP or some of the other punks here now - always on the highest pedistal, doing everything you can to convince others you know what you're talking about, but really offering very little in terms of useful assistance. PC Eye, IC, and several other *useful* posters and I don't always see things the same way, but I value their opinions/advice/debate because they have a lot to offer. You on the other hand...well...'certification this', 'I'm so great because of that', but really never any great advice. Go figure...

Haha! Post and a half there, Jay!

SirKenin · 02-23-2008, 04:49 PM

Actually, you're right imsati... But perhaps not for the reason you think.

If I had said nothing... "I told you so"
If I gave my reasons... "I told you so"

It's the damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.

I'm not great... Not at all.. But I am busy. Rather than wasting 10,000 on utter stupidity, I target my responses to where I think they'd be the most use.

Better 1000 posts of useful information than 10,000 of utter garbage.

With that said.. Why do I only have a handful of posts? Look behind the scenes and read between the lines.. Mr. "Computer Expert" seems to have a whole pile of time to waste posting nonsense and hitting up search engines for answers. I don't. Why? Because I actually have a life that involves REAL clients, REAL problems and REAL money. I don't have the time to post 10,000 posts of utter garbage. People like him sit in their basement surrounded by ancient relics, mementos of the "good old days" and a path to the TV. I rather concern myself with growing my business.

That's the REAL scene, then, isn't it. Someone who professes a successful business, yet remarkably has hours and hours to spend posting utter garbage on a message board.. People nodding blindly in a agreement speaks volumes in itself.

I think of that when I'm reading ads in the online classifieds. These punks posting "cheap rates!" for computer service. "Low overhead!". Etc. Every day, a new ad. What that tells me is some bored teenager, working out of their bedroom and doesn't have the clientelle to keep them busy... So they have PLENTY of time to post stupid ads on a website, looking for business.

I don't have the time to post to every thread in this forum, nor do repeated followups to try and "prove" something. PCeye does.. Good for him. I have a life... and that means my business and my girlfriend. Offering proof to someone that isn't going to pay me a dime just doesn't rate very high on that list. And even if I did list my qualifications, you get people like PCeye that tries to tear it apart, calling it garbage, looking for a loophole, bashing the Commodore.. More total wastes of time. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. And in reality it....doesn't....matter.

That's what I was trying to point out in that "essay" you criticize. And with that said, I have to get back to work...

Feel free to waste the rest of your day picking apart what I have said.

I'm not certain if that was directed at me, but I have time to do both, actually. I'm not away from home everyday from 9 to 5. I schedule my service calls smartly. I try to place all my medium/long travel-time calls together, and do the same with my local ones. On days when I have just local stops, there are times that I'll be home 2-3 times throughout the day, either to get parts, check prices for new parts, drop off a take-home unit that I don't want in my car all day, or just to kill some time before the next appointment. Also, there are days that I purposefully not schedule anything for random reasons, so I'm around pretty much all day unless an emergency call comes in. So again, it all comes down to smart scheduling.

While my rates are inexpensive, they are not 'cheap' in any sense of the word. I've only posted what I charge on here once, but if you can them and feel that I fall into that category, I'd to see your reasoning behind it. (Really, I would, not trying to be a jerk.)

But...wait a second...aren't these...

Anyway, I for one find it rather ironic that right after you removed the 'if someone shouts moronities at you...' from your sig, you start ripping into others. Odd...

Kornowski · 02-23-2008, 05:14 PM

So you wrote that while you were at work?

You took the time, from your REAL clients, REAL money and REAL life, to type that...
Wow! You really do want to prove something...

patrickv · 02-23-2008, 05:19 PM

Yeah i agree with Danny,i've been reading the whole thread and i'm amaze i must say..
and mods should really take a look at those vista theads.... it's really going " somewhere "

Kornowski · 02-23-2008, 05:22 PM

Thanks Patrick! It's silly isn't it!

GameMaster · 02-23-2008, 05:28 PM

Woh woh wait a minute guys... is that you couple of experts fighting who has less tme but helps more?
I must say, ( too lazy to quote though ) that I appreciate all good answers, whether they are from net surfing or from expert's head.
So, it doesn't even matter whose answer it is, it's important it works.
If someone has less time and helps, why would anyone tell him he's less helpfull and all...
Crap, I'm missing my point here...
I'll make it short...
Who likes to help, keep doing the good job.
No fighting that sucks.
