Merc is alive, don't worry about him. Contact has been made (although super brief.)

These all make me LOL. Merc maybe not so much. :twistd: For now, Merc as far as I know is busy with family holiday stuff. I'm sure he's fine but I'll go look for him if he doesn't resurface after Thanksgiving holiday. :) Cheers to you all and your families! Happy Turkey day to all in the...

Yes, that may work!!

I somewhat apologize that I am a lurker on your forums. I find you all interesting people (first introduced by Merc several years ago) but I don't have much to add to your conversations aside from a comment here or there. I last talked to Merc on Nov 10 and he was "just Merc," not happy, maybe...

Yes, I have talked to him a few times in the last couple weeks. He's alive but not really in a happy place right now. There is no real answer to his medical issues yet and the insurance headache is certainly not making things any easier. That's it in a nutshell.

Oh, and I did contact them and all they did was forward my concerns onto Comcast. Gee, thanks.

I've asked about that and was told that their agreement is with the Indiana Regulatory Commission out of Indianapolis. That might be a lie too but I can't find anything that says otherwise.

The actual Internet service is hard to beat, I'll admit that. I am sorely missing it. Their local office along with their customer service, sales, technical, and surveying departments can all burn in the fiery pits of hell as far as I'm concerned. They tell lies, they never call back, and the...

My neighbor down the road (on my same county road) that has Comcast is 1000' away. I live less than a mile from US Rte 6 and less than 1/4 mile from State Road US 2. These are main thoroughfares. There are already poles down my street for other utilities but Comcast stops 1000' away. The...

True story, I love it. Also, true story that the price is tough to justify currently; however, I am mostly happy with it nonetheless. My biggest complaint is the battery charge time (3-4 hours I think). I do find the battery life satisfactory for a device of its kind though (I'd say I got...

Are you extremely bored today or something?

Thanks for the input guys. One more question to add... My server did not get wet being about 4 inches off the ground (and yes its going on a rack in our new building which is 2 months from done) but there is a lot of moisture in the air since I do work in a dungeon. Should I point a fan near...

Thanks everyone. I will be making my purchase sometime this week. I will let you know what I decided on.

The laptop actually does very little traveling. They (work) want me to have a laptop so I can take it home or to meetings but I rarely need to travel with it. I take it home every other weekend and to a offsite meeting maybe once a month. I think I prefer a 15" ish screen.

I have just been told I can buy myself a new laptop for work. I can spend about $1500 before I have to start explaining why I need something more expensive. So, I though this would be a good place to ask which are your favorites. I currently have an older Dell Inspiron which I think is built...
