Some Good Economic News (Tech)

Posted Fri, 10/31/2008 - 1:07pm by shrop

Came across this purchase plan from 1985 (see link below). Notice the pricing and size of the hard drive upgrade. At least tech gets cheaper and generally improves over time.

IT Support Humor: This has to be a joke!

Posted Thu, 10/30/2008 - 8:18pm by shrop

Nick Burns, Your Company's Computer GuyJust received this ticket in our IT support ticket email box today. It has to be a joke. I can't believe it.. read on and enjoy... Name changed (slightly) to protect the innocent.

"Message: Veronica would like to replace her keyboard (Dell) with one that doesn't make as much noise, that is if you have one available. The new one that she has (replaced recently) types with loud clicks when typing."

As Nick Burns says, "MOVE!!!"

Murphy the Cat

Posted Sun, 10/26/2008 - 8:34pm by shrop

Well we have a new pet. An inside cat at that (sounds like Dr. Seuss). We named him Murphy. Anyway, I love this cat already. He is really friendly (for a cat) and is easy going. Doesn't run and hide either. He fits our family's personality quite well. Murphy even puts up with our daughter who probably annoys him much of the time. She just gets all over him and cats don't usually dig that.

Oh well, hope everyone out there has a great week. See ya!

Neil Peart drumstick

Posted Mon, 10/06/2008 - 7:14am by shrop

Cool story.. I meet a guy and his son at church recently who both know the band Rush personally. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I am a huge Rush fan.

Neil Peart sent a set of sticks to these guys and guess what? They were kind of enough to give me one of them. I have attached a couple of photos below. This is a Pro-Mark signature Neal Peart stick that Neal actually played with live during last year's tour in CT.
