I'm glad you're happy with your PCs -- and enjoy futzing around with them.

I used to build my own electronic gear -- and I built a few hot rods, too.

Now, aside from the restoration I'm doing on the Formula "S" Barracuda I ordered set up for road racing in 1965, I buy cars that will make the 22 mile round trip to town on country roads in comfort and with good mileage and reliabilty. IOW, mainly, I choose to be a "car user", nowadays.

As I pointed out to dennisw, the first two words in my comment were, "Mac users" (not "Mac hobbyists")...

So, we have something in common. I restored a 70 Vette roadster, it was perfect for 1970 standards. Which was the problem, perfect as it was, normal cars ran rings around it comfort wise and those pathetic bumpers wouldn’t stop a 1/2mph crash without destroying the glass. If you got t-boned, there weren’t any door beams to protect you. I saw a 69 Road Runner t-boned at 45mph and it killed the driver, imagine if you only had fiberglass to protect you?
It was fun to drive and sexy looking

65 Cuda, what engine are you using? I’m assuming you’re going to upgrade the brakes; going still going with the leaf springs?

So you restore cars while we like putting together windows computers. Big whoop! Just another gayish attempt at Apple one upsmanship. Gay run company and the computer/tablet/phone gays prefer for status reasons

Samsung Note3 is what a relative got. She needed a larger screen than the pathetic iPhone offers
