   Hi trader,   
      
   Why do you insist on proving you don't belong on this type of news group?   
      
   As usual, you contributed nothing of any value to this Usenet potluck   
   (where the last time you did that, it went sort of like this):   
      
   Q: How do you fix a tire at home that I'm having issues trying to fix?   
   A: Duh. You always simply pay someone else to fix everything for you.   
      
   Bearing in mind, I don't bullshit, you know this to be a fact:   
   o Did you ever have a batch of tires that just wouldn't seal after the final   
   bead?   
      
   Where you said, and I repeat, in full, verbatim:   
     "Silly me, I just pay $15 a tire to get them mounted and   
      dynamically balanced. No fuss,  no muss..."   
      
   Reparing, mounting, and balancing your own tires at home, Trader   
   o Is something that I do all the time - and I love fixing stuff like that.   
      
   Yet, the fact is - you despise fixing stuff - and that's OK.   
   o What's not OK are incessantly worthless responses on this fixit group   
      
   Notice the dynamic that you always seem to prove, Trader:   
   1. Someone asks a technical repair question which others help answer   
   2. Yet you tell them they have to pay someone else to fix it for them   
      
   Why are you even on a fixit newsgroup, Trader ...   
   o ... if you can't fix anything?   
      
   I consider it a basic American right to be able to fix my own stuff.   
   o While all you do is waste everyone's time, Trader - saying not to.   
      
   I didn't challenge you then when you wasted everyone's time, Trader,   
   but all you _ever_ do, is waste everyone's time on this newsgroup.   
   o You don't fix anything   
   o You can't fix anything   
      
   But apparently, you NEED someone to challenge you on wasting our time   
   o Because if I don't challenge you - you continue to waste our time   
      
   Let's face the facts Trader...   
   o You're better off NOT responding to _any_ thread I proffer   
      
   You have absolutely nothing of value to add to ANY technical topic.   
   o And yet, you _insist_ on proving that - time and again.   
      
   Stop it.   
   o Please.   
      
   Stop wasting our time with your childish games you love to play.   
   o If you can't add any technical value to this thread - then don't post.   
      
   To help those who _can_ comprehend what I'm suggesting in this thread   
   o Here is a photo I just took showing the "typical" desktop connections   
      
      
   --   
   My contribution to the Usenet potluck in this thread is to explain what   
   power is available to the typical home user at the same price they are   
   paying now for far less powerful equipment. If they NEED the power, this is   
   potentially useful technical information, particularly since this equipment   
   is NOT found in the typical consumer oriented hardware or electronic box   
   stores.
