  1. I did and that is what got me in trouble in the first place. Used that firmware and it screwed my keyboard up. The top three rows of the keyboard are now the lower three rows and the lower three rows are non-responsive. Realized this when pressing ESC and the letter A appeared on the screen. I think the 7 was like a B or something so it screwed it up good. Thanks anyway for that but I think I still need help.
  2. OK. Sorry about this but I have a question about a particular keyboard. Many pages back, there is a discussion about the Z-88 81 key keyboard. I like the small form factor of this keyboard. I have 3 of these keyboards and one I just received is a little bit not working. Apparently over on REDDIT there is a thread about how another firmware will work with this keyboard. He flashed his keyboard with the wrong firmware and now it is not working. So he gives it to me and bought himself a new keyboard. So now I have this Z-88 that does not work. So the big question is, does anyone know where I can get a stock version of the firmware for this keyboard? Or how do I take firmware from one keyboard and flash it to the one that is kinda screwed up? It is a nice keyboard but it is just misflashed. Help... and thanks.
  3. Another reason never to buy Apple products. I keep telling people but they keep buying and then buying another and another and another. Sheeple will do that.
  4. That is true, it is a hobby. It was a hobby of mine. I still build computers but now for other people who will pay those prices. I can not justify to myself, or to my wife :), the cost of a new video card at over $1000. By the time I save for it, I can not afford it again. I just don't get why prices are so damn high as to keep some of us out of the market for them. Hurts the bottom line for me. Splurge on card or get a CPU that will choke on the games and the good card was a waste. And DDR4... I will stick to my older rigs with DDR3. Still too expensive but not as nuts as DDR4. At this rate, I won't be able to save enough money for a new pc for years. If the costs keep going up and up at the rates they are now.
  5. Well those of us who work and are not making a mammoth amount of money. Those of us who are married with kids and mortgages, vehicle payments, insurance, dental, power, oil, and other bills, tend not to have the disposable income to buy the newest and greatest tech available. Even some of the used tech is out of reach for most. Glad you are free of all that and have loads of cash to spend on your hobby. When a video card I ought for $275 new, now sells for upwards of $500 used, that is just plain retarded.
  6. Found this gem https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware-seller-massdrop-says-nvidia-predicts-graphics-card-prices-will-continue-to-go-up-through-the-year/ Looks like we will be taking it for a little while longer
  7. I should have looked on ebay.com. I stuck exclusively to ebay .ca and they never had those listed. Thanks for that. Have to broaden my search from now on to other sites and not just Canadian ones. But those prices though... ouch. Thanks again. Just checked eBay.ca and again, nothing. I even used the auction id number from the .com and still nothing. Guess it is not available to be shipped from the manufacturer to Canada or they never bothered to try to sell it on the .ca site. Thanks.
  8. I have been wracking my brain over this. I have searched eBay, all around town, and even my old stash of hardware looking for something someone told me does exist, but we have not been able to find. I am looking for a 4gb stick of ddr2 sodimm for an older laptop. I was sure there was no such a thing and other people agree, but a few have argued that it was made but it harder to come by then hen's teeth. Is there such a thing as a 4gb ddr2 sodimm? And if there is, where the heck to I find one. Appreciate the help. Oh and this old laptop only has one memory socket so 2x2gb is a non issue. Thanks all.
  9. I hope your employer paid for that piece of paper... or at least made it worth your while to get it. But ya, I was lucky that I found someone who knew that knowing more meant more than a scrap of paper that said you know stuff. Pretty sure that made sense. It is almost 4 in the morning and I think it is time to get some rest.
  10. Well some people find it reassuring that they can put a bunch of letters at the end of their signature. It, somehow, validates all the money they spent learning things they could have taught themselves for free. I have been working with computers for more then 35 years and when I did take a course to get the certification that so many people seem to think is important, I wound up correcting the instructor on several occasions because he was not a knowledgeable as I was on some things. Just goes to show that those pretty letters on a signature don't make you as smart as you think you are. This was more for the A+ then anything else. I eventually left the course, got a full refund, and got a better job anyway. Could not stand the fact that some young guy, who thought he knew it all, was stumped by an old guy like me. He was not impressed to say the least... but it was fun making him look bad though
  11. Would like a keyboard. Don't have a mechanical keyboard with brown switches and want to see how they are . Have blues, greens, and red, but no brown... yet Thanks.
  12. I think everyone should run on SSD. It breaths life into older machines but making it fast again. What could be better then saving an old favourite computer with just a little SSD in it. But I would like one too
  13. I own multiple Zotac Zboxes and I would love love love to add this one to the collection. This would make everything I have complete... Love Zotac stuff.
  14. I like the Feenix Autore Keyboard. I love Mechanical keyboards. Then more the merrier. Have green, and blue mx switches, so this will be my first brown mx switch. Want to see if they as good as Linus says they are. Thanks Linus...
  15. Really like the Smart Switch and the Virtual Shot. I really could find a use for those. Nice camera... I mean phone
