i was going to jump on finding out who was here, but i just forgot.

over the new years i will be deep in the country side hunting where cell site coverage is non existant, so again wont be able to see the activity level.

i found a great deal on a pc component part, while i was trying to figure out what to buy i was trying to find reviews and one led me back to lmg. going to the store was a no go, online is better for less aggravation, too many dumb people out there blocking the aisles. a hassle trying to find parking, then you have to walk to the store dealing with the cars driving in the parking lot, then walking through the front door and dealing with people coming and going, then walking past the carts, cs desk and dealing with the greeter handing out pamphlets, then dealing with all the people in the store. not worth the $100 in savings, not worth the savings at all!

ps

hope ryzen 4 gets good performance at a cheap value price

In previous years there has been a significant dip on Christmas Day, but this year the number of unique visitors was surprisingly unaffected by Christmas

My guess is that there were a lot more people who asked for computer parts this year and actually got them.

In my very anecdotal experience, there were quite a lot more troubleshooting threads this year, as compared to other years.

It’s even worse than that. People constantly walking in front of your car without even an attempt at looking both ways before crossing. Cars and or people coming out randomly between parking spaces. Sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to how traffic is flowing throughout the lot. I HATE parking lots!

I logged in on Christmas, it’s just another day to me.
