All I need now is a proper quality monitor or two to finish off my new 'digital darkroom'...

I remember when my Nvidia 9800GT was state of the art. now there like giving them away online lol

Eh, if it doesn't fit then I'll just get a different one to use, thats all.

This computer is mid-high end on the consumer level, its definitely new nice stuff, but I could have gone crazier with it. I found a happy medium between performance and price.

And I'm coming from a 5 year old desktop so this is long overdue...

so got all excited thinking i was going to get a blackberry today, went to wal mart to pick it up because on there website it says the bb bold is free without a rebate, so i went..of course its 78.88 today. i ask them why when on there website it says its free...manager tells me walmart.com is different then going to a wal mart store. :eek: so yea.. thats gay... calling att store now to see what they have.. so annoyed..:roll:

TROLL 12-10-2009 04:32 PM

why not buy on walmart.com?

jpalamar 12-10-2009 04:40 PM

I went though that with ATT. Their online prices are different then in stores. If you go to RadioShack and get the phone they will hook you up. They no longer to mail in rebates on phones, its instant at the time of purchase.

ha.

Boss calls the phone at my desk about...a little over an hour ago....story follows:

Boss: Hey, I need an RO.
Me: Ok, what's the vin
Boss: Last 6 of 8 of the vin?
Me: 6 works
Boss: 030175
Me: RO number?
Boss: 22440
Me: k *click*

Spent 25 minutes looking, first in the already filed ROs, this RO doesnt even have a file jacket so it's either a newer customer or a new car altogether. Go through my 12 different stacks of "to be filed" RO's that are in numerical order by VIN and ready to be put away. Can't find the damn thing, so I call back

Me: What's the make and model of the car?
Boss: ummm....09 Passat
Me: Was it sold here?
Boss: Yeah, it's still our car, on the lot. Don't tell me you can't find it.
Me: I'm not seeing it, but I'll double check the PDIs
Boss: Ugh, ok, just find it.
Me: Gotcha *click*

Would have been GREAT info to hear the first time. He calls again and asks if I found it yet or what, I say I'm workin on it...so I go to the PDI RO's to look for it, its about a foot tall stack of new cars that have come through the dealership in the last 3 months. Also in numerical order by VIN, no luck, not there.

So this time I walk out to his office with the vin and RO written on a note pad, and go:

Me: I can't find this RO, it's either non-existent or it's not back there.
Boss: *looks at pad* Oh...haha, yeah I know where this is.
Me: *unamused*
Boss: It didn't go through yet, BC still needs to approve something on it.
Me: I'm telling you now, if I can't find it, it's not back there.

I want to punch someone and get my hour back.

I'm the same way. I only buy stuff online that I don't actually want but need. When I want something, I pay the extra to have it now.

Elliott18t 12-10-2009 05:39 PM

Oakes 12-10-2009 05:41 PM
