Scotty Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Hey Scotty,you forgot about computers. I'm not even talking about chasing... Yes it was once computers but with the advent of spyware, worms, firewalls, hackers, malware, adware and having to maintain 4 computers, I have given up! No more building computers for friends thats for sure... its enough keeping mine going... (although some of the new games and video cards look outstanding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIMDTS Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Hi Scotty You have a lot of posts because you are putting out a lot of good information.

I could see it now, riding from state to state working on caddies! Have Tech-2 will travel! I am beginning to like this idea! Honey what do you think about this idea?

Plus its great talking to all of you knowledgable Caddy lovers. Your system sounds pretty capable. I have a GeForce 5700 256 meg also. What I need to do is install a new motherboard and processor, I need a hyperthreading processor, I get bogged down at times with this dual head video card and two monitors running tons of applications. I am getting short on hard disk space also. I will do this soon, but its a huge undertaking and risky when you run a business on this machine backing everything up, retrieving application keys, etc. Some programs are irreplacable so that complicates the issue. Now you see why I look the other way when it comes to computers these days.... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adallak Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 GOOD JOB, MIKE! The bad thing is that you spoil us - why read the manual or open up the hood when Scotty is there? The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhall Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Congrats Mike, That's certainly a statement of dedication to something that pays nothing - except a few "warm fuzzies" now and then. As a recipient of some of your helpful knowledge, I really appreciate your efforts. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marika Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Congratulations dude!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Congrats Mike,That's certainly a statement of dedication to something that pays nothing - except a few "warm fuzzies" now and then. As a recipient of some of your helpful knowledge, I really appreciate your efforts. Keep up the good work! Thanks jhall! You know there are a few highlights that have provided big warm and fuzzys, helping Matt with his engine and trials, disassembling my spare Bose radio to help someone with a fogged display, sending a 4.9 to Amsterdam was fun to name a few. But you are right the warm and fuzzys make it worth it. This is an interesting way to share knowledge and to meet people with similar focus. This group as a whole is a powerful resource for a Cadillac owner. Its chemistry and balance never ceases to amaze me. The odd part about this however is that the only people that can really appreciate it, is us, has anyone tried to explain this board to your friends or relatives? No one quite understands it or appreciates it do they? I get blank stares, to.... Its just a car, "you are obsessed"! What people don't understand is that I have been really really into cars and mechanical things since I can remember! And I can remember standing on a milk carton, looking over the fender of our 54 Packard Carabbean, at about 7 years old with my Dad trying to find out why the Ammeter was showing a discharging condition, and pointing to a broken wire, and saying to my Dad, "could that broken wire be why"? His face LIT UP with a big SMILE and said, YES! You found the problem! Needless to say, that was the beginning of my love for mechanical things! So this board feeds my love and my desire for knowledge... Connect that with Cadillacs......and it's an OBSESSION! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 No more building computers for friends thats for sure... its enough keeping mine going... Yeah, that's the shame of it, isn't it? Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hi Scotty. Boy that is something to have 4000 posts. You are one special dude. A great big thanks from me for all your help. It would be wild if we all could have a big get together for all the board members, could you emagine the fun we could have... See ya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
