The time has come, I knew it would happen but praying it wouldn't, The day when I was forced to get rig of stuff... Or so it went "Get rid of all that computer crap", "Why?", "Cause it takes to much space", "And what if I don't", "Then it'll start disappering....."; And I would rather see it go to good homes the simply disappering, of the face of the earth.

I took photos and there roughly 50 of them, way to much for me to post here, so I'll upload them to my server and just let you soft thought the directory there in, rather then post and label them.

Most of this is vintage computers, some isen't.

I know we've covered this before and I know this is a pet peeve, but what possible value could these types of messages add?

If you send a PM to someone they'll likely see it before the thread.

If you send a PM to someone why would the other hundreds or thousands of people who view the thread care?

Just sain' :p

Anyway, compaqxp, good luck finding everything new homes!

Please consider the marketplace if you have the time and inclination.
 
Oh, dang, we goin' behind the woodshed again?

<sigh>

My bad...just...some people don't pay attention to the upper right where it says

PRIVATE MESSAGE WAITING

Spoken like a true bachelor LMAO

Yes, I'm sorry to hear that you've "decided" to liquidate your collection. I have to admit that I'm tempted by the Model 4 as well, but, I already have one that's trashed, I don't really need another.
 
I would warn her that some of the stuff she holds dear will likewise start "disappearing" .. not wishing to start a domestic war, but fair is fair ;)

I would have to agree that "PM sent" gets old VERY fast. On the other hand, getting used to looking at the upper right of the screen to see if you have new messages is a habit that new people don't have.

Is it possible to default the "PM popup option" to ON when a new account is setup? That makes it pretty tough to be unaware that you have new messages.

It took me several weeks to even notice the private messages part of the screen when I first started here.
 
Maybe his keyboard quit working but he can't find an extra because wifey thew them all away ;-)

Bought a bunch of games from him recently which were just a bunch of worn, dirty, non working floppy disks that were thrown in a bubble wrap envelope..+ I was charged foe 2x the actual shipping cost
Maybe he was scared away from here by my complains :rolleyes:
 
Has anyone gotten anything acceptable from compaqxp? It's been twice the time he told me my computer would ship.. Won't reply to PMs, I'm about to file complaint with pp.
 
I should have warned you guys if knew more people had made business with him :( I missed reading the thread how it progressed after I bought the games from him
