In response to a help thread:

Demo will ask for more information, including if you have ever had a wrist injury. :whatswrongwiththisguy?:

Derrek will tell you your graphics card is overheating, criticize Demo and find some obscure way to dislike Korea. :suffer:

Superhero will be correct, but without enough techy jargon to properly confuse people into thinking he's right. :goodguy:

the_beaver is too busy being humble in his tech reply for people to believe him, even though he is right as well. :secrettechguru:

Bulsajo won't reply. :MIA:

Walter Mitty will be absolutely correct and say it in such a comprehensible way, we all think he is Richard Feynman. Cool

Gord will also be correct, but he will take a big piece of you for being so silly for asking; kind of like a dentist actually. I truly believe that Gord is in his mountain, forging the one computer....that will rule tham all! :HarHar?:

Jazblanc will be right on the money, but time is spread so thin, he will forget all verbs. :busy:

the saint is always there; lurking and learning. He will soon be independant of Dave's completely, and will leave us all without his HTML and PHP "mad skillz". :dangerouslyintelligent:

keninseoul will TELL you EXACTLY what THE problem is BUT in SUCH a WAY that YOU FEEl like HE is talking DOWN to YOU. ::straightshooter?:

the lemon will also be correct, but in such a gosh and golly way, you feel bad taking his advice. :niceguy:

cheem, like a subliminal message, comes and goes so quickly no one is sure if they got his advice or not.....? :ghost:

...just for laughs guys (joking Derrek!).....did I miss anyone?[/b]

Thanks for the compliment, and the laugh. Smile

(The laugh was very much needed as I've had a crap week. My back went out on Friday and I've basically been in bed for the last 5 days. Which explains why I've been online so much. Thank goodness for western school ownership and sick days I can actually take. Very Happy )

Oh, in case anybody was ever wondering, my real name's Drew, not Walter. (I'm kinda surprised that more people I've met from Dave's don't get the reference...)

Walter Mitty is great. Loved his photo-essay on waiting to buy a PSP on the opening day of sales.

Thanks! Very Happy

I had a shorter one about the OSX Tiger launch, and expect another sometime next Spring about the PS3 release. I doubt I'll make one for the Xbox 360, since I don't expect Japanese gamers to be lining up for that. Wink
