I've never had a Windows Update problem either, and I think you said about
the same to me. ;-)


Maybe he doesn't live a charmed life. :-))


Hi Grey Cloud,

I got tipped yesterday, so pretty much charmed. I love solving
mysteries and helping people out. And people pay me for it!

Bear in mind, I only get called when the customer gives up
trying to fix it himself. I see some really weird stuff
at times. If you are I.T. staff for a bunch of folks,
you would only see what specifically affects them.

One of these days, you are going to write up for all of us
your tips on supporting the Frankenstein family.

I am curious what you use that for? I thought you were
I.T. to allopaths. I am thinking you are doing some
kind of fascinating research.


Probably this is its best area of usage:

Have you noticed that some of those cheap-assed HP's now
come without an internal power supply? I just had to shake
my head at a power cable with an inline power block
plugged into the back of the computer, like a printer's
power block. Oh my goodness!


My HP laptop from 2000, HP laptop from 2002, HP laptop from 2010, Dell
laptop from 2012 and second Dell laptop from 2012 all came with the type of
power supply that you're describing. I assumed it was quite common and
normal.

If you pick up the laptop and walk around with it, you don't necessarily
want to be carrying around an internal power supply. In fact, I don't
remember seeing a laptop with an internal power supply at all.



True.

Actually, I was talking about HP's cheap Desktops


In that case, let's check with Emily Litella, who tells us to "Never mind!"

Hi Char,

Do yo still have the link of the history of bad updates I
send you? I forgot to book mark it and I can't find it
through the thousands of hits on the subject.


No, I didn't visit it or save it, but I think you reposted it just the other
day.

Hasn't anyone following this stupid thread enough brains to kill it
and revert back to subjects that actually mean something?
Or is everybody gone braindead?

Regards, Rene

I don't buy into cheap hardware, since it seems that the cheap

Ah yes, these self-taught engineers!

Seems now-a-days the only quality stuff has to be custom
made. Lenovo "seems" (watch the "weasel" word) to do
okay for a production computer. Dell, "maybe". The one
and only Dell W7 desktop at Costco seems to do alright
But is is more like 900.00 U$D, not $400.00.

[ ... ]

Consumer PCs are built with the cheapest parts available at the moment
of ordering and tested long enough to get rid of the really bad ones
(i.e., a four-hour burn-in). My last job was supporting a manufacturing
line building PCs for HP, Dell. Compaq, NEC, Ambra (didn't last) and
others.

To get a reliable system, go with workstation-class hardware. They're
made with better components and are better supported. Yes, they cost
more, but you'll have less trouble with them.


That's what I did... This HP tower ran around $2700 with win7.

Hi Rene,

When technical people get to talking, they tend to pick out
any old thread, then go on and on (except me, never me).
It can be frustrating if you are looking for information
pertaining to the threads title. But that is just the
way conversions go at times. Don't let it bug you.

If there is something you are looking for, try posting
under a new thread.

Okay, sometimes me. Perhaps.
