Success! I got my home laptop up and running again Only took 4 tries with the reformatting disks and who knows how many hours on the phone with India

 

"Hello my name is Brad"....No it isn't...
outsourced customer service...gotta love it

 

Sometimes at work my passwords need to be reset . So I have to call India . What a pain in the ass . It turns into a 3 hours ordeal .

 

You can ask to speak with someone from this country. I hate when I have to call the tech line for work and it goes to mexico like WTF truck made in USA fuck off.

Anyways saw a 2nd gen with ARB bumper legit ARB i Stoughton MA today on Tosca Drive. I dont know if he's on here he glared at me. Had interview over there.

 

So was it just a formatting problem?

I don't think anyone bothers with the "press 1 for English" these days, because all you get is a foreigner who barely speaks English.

 

Factory LSD 8" 3rd tomorrow out of a 92 IRS supraaaaa. See if this works

 

To put in your truck?

 

YES. Got from a friend, but looks like I have to shave .030 off the race according to a few sorces online. But it all depends on the housing tolerances. Either way the 3rds coming out I have a bearing screaming back there. so (below)

Morning all

 

Good morning.

 

Just drove for two hours, time to bust my ass

 

That's great! Glad to hear you are working.

 

Dennis, was the RF tie rod bent? Your going to think you have a new truck when you get the Locker installed...makes a world of difference. How much lift will you gain with the new suspention set up?
Dave

 

What happened to the locker you got for X-mas?

 

I got to test out the suspension on my new tacoma last night...I was pulling into Lowes off Rt 9 and instead of plowing the entrance the plow king cleared the ISLAND between the entrance and exit...
Luckily I was only doing about 10mph when I hit it but holy shit, fix that....
I had a flashlight in my truck and it turns out it was a 3 inch sloped granite curb so I was fine but when I left I checked it out with the light and there were car scrapes and plastic bits all over the island...great job plowing!

 

I honestly don't know. I went through the recover process 4 times with the new hard drive and the last time, it finally worked. I didn't do anything different than I did the other times. It seems like it'd be kind of hard to screw up, it tells you, insert disk 1 of 4 then tells you when you switch to the next disk, installs everything, restarts itself and then you're up and running.

John, I hear you, I was talking to someone overseas. They tried selling me a 12 month extended warranty for $120 in case this happens again. After the 3rd time saying no and him still pushing, I lost it on him. I told him there's no way in hell I'm paying almost 50% of the product cost for a warranty on a product that, for all intents and purposes, is already obsolete and also, if this thing craps out again in the next year, and I quote, "If this thing dies again, you won't get a call from me, in fact, if this thing dies again within the next 12 months, that tells me that you guys have no regard for the longecity of your product and I promise that I will never own another HP product. I shouldn't have to buy an extended warranty to cover my ass from you making a sub-par product". He dropped it after that rant but had to stay on the phone with me for another hour waiting for things to download, talk about awkward silence

 

That is absolutely ridiculous!

 

Troll level: Master

 

Johnny, keep me in mind if you sell your icons! Ill take the front and rear if you sell both sets, let me know.

 

I've had 2 HP laptops. Never had any major problems with them. First one I bought for college, lasted about 5.5 yrs. 2nd I bought afterwards, and it's still kicking 5 years later. Only thing I've needed to do is reformat once due to a virus, and get a new power cord cause the original shit the bed. Otherwise i've had pretty good luck with them.

My work laptop was a dell, which was and had a hard time running some of the finite element analysis programs and modelling programs I use. Probably a 5 year old laptop with I got the new one. Now I have a Lenovo, and it's the biggest pile of crap ever. Constantly freezing, crashing, slow as shit. DO not want.
