My wife quit her job to be a stay home Mom back in August '08, sadly and unsuspectingly in the beginning of April '09 my employer informed that the company was downsizing and I would be one of the five who were going to be laid off :mad:

Since then (April 09) my wife and myself have both been actively searching for employment and have not had any luck yet her with over 7 and a half years of experience in the medical field and myself with a couple of years in my field of choice NST, sure we have had our share of interviews and what not but have not yet landed.

Please say a prayer for me and my family :pray: that something soon will break as my unemployment is not even enough to cover the rent.

I have done a whole bunch of side work for my landlord including getting him up to fire-code in the mountains which basically consisted of pushing a lawn mower up huge hills and using a weed-whacker wherever it was impossible for the lawn mower to get in.

Well that is all for now maybe some more a little later gotta go the store and get some food cuz everyone here is hungry right now. ]]> MikenandezNST http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/298227-mikenandeznst/159-economy-really-sucks-right-now.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/298227-mikenandeznst/153-i-have-3-computers.html Mon, 25 May 2009 02:35:12 GMT Just wanted to start off by saying this is my first blog and I do not mean on this site only! :tongue: Well just like the title says I have three computers one laptop and two desktops both of my desktops ended up being Dells somehow.

Well just like the title says I have three computers one laptop and two desktops both of my desktops ended up being Dells somehow.

One model is a optiplex GX 260 and the other is a Dimension XPS t600rhttp://www.pcworld.com/article/25029...xps_t600r.html

Acer laptop

Funny thing is out of the three my favorite PC is the Old Dell well grandfather should I say since my optiplex is no teenager lol:laugh:

I have dual booted that poor thing so many times like with Windows Advanced Server 2000 and XP Pro another time with Win 2000 Pro and XP Pro once with some flavor of Linux I do not recall and never really grasped either and of course Win XP.

Just was wondering if anybody else has a little weird similar situation as mine liking the old box out of all machines, I guess my reason for favoring it is that it has literally been broke down many times before once was broke down literally as my wife body slammed it on the concrete:upset: no kidding! and has stuff just kinda barely hanging on and now currently is tucked under a huge desk I have out of harm's way not too mention how many BSOD we have seen together while dual booting and maybe once just because it was having a bad day.

Although I am grateful for what I do have already and without a doubt am able to carry out any desired task of mine I hope that my budget will soon allow me to buy one of these cool computers with two, three, four brains that lot of people already own.

Those things are amazing in respect of performance!

Well comments are welcome and desired as this is my first blog yet. ]]> MikenandezNST http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/298227-mikenandeznst/153-i-have-3-computers.html
