i thought that was a requirement to becoming ultimate member.

even my broke a$$ put together a pc sheesh LOL

you have 1000 posts till the point you build your own PC.
At the time that it is built AND operational (full boot up into the OS of your choice and does not crash for at least 30 seconds after all services have become fully functional) THEN we shall allow you to achieve the 1001st post to allow for ultimate status lol

Hey guys play fair!

Poor ol' Jacob has the knowledge even if he hasn't had the chance to put it into practice. And most of it he would have gleaned from you guys anyway. So what you are saying is that you don't know enough to teach him!

Me, I've plenty of practise in putting together and taking apart PC's , if you count the 286's, 386's and 486's that I picked up thrown out of schools and businesses and put back togheter for friends. I'd never even assembled at ATX board before I splashed out and bought some bits and assembled a Duron 800 system last year. Never ever touched a Slot 1 or Socket 370 processor. So does that make me computer illiterate or inexperienced? Do I have to be up with the latest technology to meet your approval?

I also have only just discovered on-line forums, having mainly been a computer mag junkie for years. You should see my stack of cover CD's!

And I'm not even A+ certified (...yet...one of the local computer mags has a free A+ cert course in the offing currently...)

So I vote Jacob keep's his posts. Does my vote count? After all, I haven't been here long.

[...ends rant, gets down from soapbox now...]

[JacobM5727]

comeon, i am 17, have no job, and take my ged in 4 days
i try to help around here as much as i can...

[robin801]

no mickwish your vote doesn't count. you have to have at least 10 posts to get a vote.

excuses excuses---jacob. but i will allow you this one little oversite(lack of building your own computer) just this once. next time i will have to send you to the time out corner. lol

Ahh, sorry you guys, I thought you was serious... after Dutch canned Verts please ignore again thread I thought maybe you guys played hardball.

Hey Jacob, why don't you check out the local schools and stuff and see if they have any old PC's to throw away. Then you can "build" one and keep all these guys quiet! After all, they didn't say anything about new, current parts did they.. just said until you

build your own PC.
At the time that it is built AND operational (full boot up into the OS of your choice and does not crash for at least 30 seconds after all services have become fully functional)

So, anyone out there with some old bits for Jacob to do some practice with??? Come on you guys, cough up!

I would let Jacob into my shed, but, hey, I'm in Australia! Anyone closer than that?

mickwish, You will find this is a huge family.
We are like brothers and sisters.. we sometimes bark, then are sorry,
but mainly we tease each other to no end.. and we are not sorry



This is the best bunch of folx anywhere on the net.

Heck, anywhere for that matter.


Hey jacob, it Robin gets any of your posts revoked can I have em? I need a new name... Muahahahahahaha

edit
