| Got a point here, Sobriquet you have to admit it doesn't make much sense. But for 10,000 what the hell. You are getting a Microsoft burnt disc. |

Yes, of course there is a point there. And a change of hairstyle should cover it nicely.
But joking aside, there ARE reasons so let me enlighten you a little.
First, this offer was intended for people who HAVE a legitimate product key, but prefer to have a physical recovery disk rather than the virtual one that is partitioned into their HDD.
My own situation is a case in point (and the impetus that made me realize that others might be in the same situation).
My Sony laptop has its recovery partitioned into the HDD, but it comes along with alot of bloatware that I would rather not have to install. By using a lean, pristine recovery disk straight from MS, I can have the install I want without the extra software I'd rather not have.
Surely I'm not the ONLY one on the peninsula in that situation.
Hence my offer to share these surplus disks at very low cost (I originally paid much, much more for them).
On the other hand, some persons may want them for other purposes and while I neither condemn nor condone that, neither can I control it, so if anyone wants one of these to use with a keygen or for some other purpose, so be it.
If anyone wants one, I have it, if no one wants any, so be that too.
Hopefully we've addressed this issue fully. It's not rocket surgery. |

| Well, I believe I've stated in this thread numerous times that I would take one. |

And when you decide that it's time to render payment, please let me know - and I will provide my account information for you to make your payment, in exchange for your delivery information. For an SP2 disk I'll absorb the delivery postage.
BTW, thanks for PM'ing me with your web site URL. Nice vehicles there. It's good to see that you are in the comfortable position of being able to purchase anything you require - including software. |

LOL, PM "rights..." How quaint.
As for those such rights, frankly I'm not likely to exercise any - whether I have them or not.
But, I did receive a PM yesterday, ostensibly from you (or an imposter perhaps) including a web site URL to some Thai site showing photographs of a female in a number of different settings; i.e. in travel, standing with a nice Nissan truck, etc. - and I simply accepted it as coming from you.
If you did send it, fine. If not, fine.
Some call that nonchalance or indifference...I call it not caring at all.
However I'll take your response as a disinterest in purchasing one of my disks.
But thanks anyway.
See how easy that is...?! |

| I sent a PM about the software (no link to a website, though) and it remains in my outbox so it could not have been opened by yourself as if it were it would be in my sentbox, that is how I understand the workings of the PM on this forum. Very strange, indeed. Like I said before I'll have a xp sp1 for 10,000. BTW, I received the books. But, I do believe there are some titles amongst them that were not the original bargain. |

This thread is becoming relentlessly perplexing, and is veering on the verge of pointlessness. However I'll indulge it one more post.
1. The PM consisted of introducing me to your profile, and the profile contained the URL http://chumpai.com/
Whether or not you intended to send me that, I still received it. I have no explanation for it, and I accept it for what I perceive it to be. Nothing more or less.
2. when you state; "Like I said before I'll have a xp sp1 for 10,000." Well, as I recall, you asked for an SP2 version for that amount, and I already replied. If I am incorrect, I'll stand corrected. If you are correct, please send me your delivery information and we'll proceed from there.
3. Is or are there any other details we can obsess over...? I normally ignore minutiae, semantical word games or outright mind games, but I had a little time on my hands and was able to indulge that a bit. Hopefully it was enough. Beyond this, I'll go hang at the forum of my choice...
http://equationoftime.com/forums/index.php?
Its one of several sites where watch collectors like me go to exchange info and photos of our collections.
BTW, not sure what you mean about receiving "the books..."
I think you have me confused with someone else you're doing some business with. Sorry mate, it's not I.
Oh well....Oooops...gotta go! Time's up for now! |
