A young friend of mine, who doesn't have much money, is slowly upgrading his rig so I decided that I would give him my old 8800GTX, which is still a beast for how old it is, until he could afford a new card. Anyway I ran this card in a few different systems over the years and it's been a champion and a couple of months after I gave it to him I asked him how it was going and he said that it doesn't work anymore... I remembered that he had a low watt PSU, around 450 watts and he eventually revealed that the PSU only had one six pin PCI-e power cable so he used a single molex to PCI-e adaptor... I told him that was why it broke because molex is never designed to handle the kind of load like PCI-e but he still insists that I gave him a dodgy graphics card. :/
Also I know a lot of people have horror stories with trying to teach their mothers various things on the computer. I'm a very patient person and not very emotional at all but I've been almost frustrated to the point of tears just trying to explain some of the simplest things to her. I don't know whether it's just because she's from an older generation but she finds it impossible to just sit quietly and watch what I do and copy what I do, she has to start drama over how she doesn't understand and we never explain it properly... in the middle of me explaining it to her... sigh thank goodness I've moved to a different city but I feel bad for my dad now hahaha

Oh man that last story just scared me! How... what... why... lucky thing she told the 911 operator that she had given him the ant killer, who knows what would have happened if she didn't! :eek:

If he was trying to sell you Monster cables by giving you that demonstration then that's pretty much false advertising! Also on the topic of Harvey Norman (also other stores with TVs) it amazes me the amount of time that they don't have Full HD content playing on the sets! How is anyone meant to compare them? Horrible quality TV channels split a million times over component  :wacko:

Man I hate this so much! Has old PC + gets new Mac (sometimes with SSD) = Apple is better.
 
At my church they have a super old laptop that they are using to display the words for the songs and they are always complaining about how slow it is (probably never been reformatted) and how the program always messes up. So here comes Apple-evangelist 20y/o girl that says we should get a $1500 iMac to display words with... If only I could find that old 32GB SSD, I'd reinstall XP on it and they would be so amazed at how fast it is hahaha
