On a computer for the shop yes, it was running a very large piece of equipment. It worked so why change it. You run into some programs and custom written drivers that it's just not worth it to upgrade a computer. Just change out the power supply every so often. It's not like someone sitting at...

I don't think we really would need all that. We 300 employees in the company, but only 35 work at a computer. Most of those are billing and payroll. We have 4 people that travel (I'm one) and the only place we travel is to our other 2 offices where we really have no use for it on the road. I...

I never heard of them either, just plain ones. Guess I'm too told and/or stopped eating them too young.

Someone mentioned that they have an Escalade with a sticker price of $100k now.

Advice sought. Thru some really odd happenings I'm in a posistion to decide what we do in the IT department at work now. How that is my job nobody knows....I fired our IT guy (he kind of fired himself when he revealed to the president he looked up my pay and how much my company credit card had...

The real question is do you get to hire your secretary? They retitled all of ours. They are now assistants, either general or personal. Don't ask me.

Yeah no shit. I get offers too, some of them are equivilant to a custodian IE a janitor lol. Does it come with a free hookers and blow slush money account?

The first day of my job I showed up and knocked on the presidents door and he was in panic mode having sent reply all bitching about a customer on a large project that was intended for the VP. It went to the customer and all major contractors etc... Later that day he sent an email to my...

Let me start by saying I've never paid anyone the minimum wage and that includes the janitor, who pretty much developed into a key part of the company by being a gofer, remembering shit I or someone else said etc... I always looked at minimum wage even the low end of pay in a business that's...

Sounds painful just reading about it, congrats I guess it's gone.

I guess I'm a walking, talking miracle according to my neurologist team. I knew I had ADEM last spring and it was bad. Which is basically short term really bad MS in response to an infection or virus. in my case I had shingles. The shingles weren't really all that bad on the upper arm on one...

Yeah I went to a state university where parents from Dallas and Houston sent their kids to school to get their grades up so they could go to UT or A&M lol. I was 23 when I started, good times. I could buy alcohol haha.

Only a dozen times. I think I'm on the right track now (crosses fingers). I downloaded the first few updates and installed which included the service pack. I let it check for updates for an hour. Did a selective boot and it listed 230 updates which it is isntalling now which takes forever. So...

I went to college of 15k people in a town of 30k including students. You ran into hot girls no matter where you went at any time including 4am at Whatburger. They really didn't have the aspect of people you see nowdays on the internet with the throw downs at a fast food place between customers...

Ok I'll move out of the windows 10 thread. I have a dual boot now of windows 10 and windows 7 while I migrate to windows 10. The IT guy put both on and upgraded thru 10 and only did the initial install of windows and I'm going to do the rest. However my windows 7 goes thru about 30 updates and...

They had a giant ad for the Italian at the one I went to. Arbys | Loaded Italian

I took it to work today and the IT guy was THRILLED he got to work on a desktop type computer. He installed (2) 256 mb SSD's he said we had stockpiled in a closet which was odd considering none of our computers have an SSD in them other than the laptops I guess. Anyway he put windows 7 on and...

Definetly not fast food, but having a "brunch" of biscuits and eggs. Picked up some muscadine jelly my grandmother made last week. Love it. The French dip I got wa OK. I really don't know where the Arby's is around here but I assume we have one. I used to eat at them a lot in college. 5 roast...

Sorry I fagged up your thread, and yeah I might run windows 7 forever. Apparently I don't do a lot of stuff people do. I don't even run an anti virus because I do limited stuff on the computer and have never had an issue. I ran windows ME on two boxes until about 2 years ago. If it ain't...

After the week I had last week and today too I'm going to find the finest restaurant in the SA area and go eat there. If nothing else I'll drive to Lockhart and get some BBQ.

Like I haven't had enough aggravation today. Got an extra day off and then this lol.

Just buying a $20 windows 7 key sounds like a better option than sitting on hold for 5 hours. When I went back to windows 7 I got what was basically a fresh install, nothing saved from before. So if I decide to stick with windows 7 I have a lot of shit to update etc...

I never get that option, when it downloads it pops up a screen to enter the key. There's no other choice but to enter the key to continue or....nothing. When I rebooted once I had the option to boot from windows 10 or windows 7. I don't get that option now.

Well I went to install windows 10 and it says it's not activated and wants a key. It won't let me continue without a valid key. FFS. So the only key I have isn't valid for windows 10 or windows 7 and I can't even continue to install windows 10.

I'm not really worried about the spying stuff a lot of people have mentioned. I'm really old fashioned I do very little business on the internet, no banking etc..I only order stuff using one card not all of them etc...

What would a full time IT person need to do for 35 people. Only about 10-15 of them actively use a computer day to day. About 90% of our business done by the PM's and engineers are done via voice call if they're not drawing. I'm technically his boss since I fired the guy that had the job...

Doing that now, thanks. Well our new IT gets to sit on hold for 5-1/2 hours tomorrow. At least he will have something to do lol. He's always asking me what he can do. We only have 35 people it's not that intensive for a full time IT person.

I gotta figure out how to get windows 10 now without the notifcation.

So I can download windows 10 again and it will be activated?It would be quicker than being on hold honestly. OMG upgrading to windows 10 is easy, I've heard it a hundred times and the START menu is back lol. FYI Internet expolorer that comes with windows 7 sucks ass but I'm too lazy to put...

So now I don't have a licencsed copy of windows 10 or 7. I can get the free windows 10 but after X number of days I would have to buy a copy. Sounds great.

Projected wait time 5-1/2 hours. Someone must be having an issue.

So I called activation support at MS. The first question you have to answer is are you activating windows XP, if so press 1. Ummm what did I wake 5 years ago?

I don't store anything in the cloud, but whatever. When I downgraded it also lost my driver for my network card. So I had to dig thru and find a wireless usb to use.

I didn't care for windows 10 so went back to windows 7. Now it says fake/counterfit and when I go online to enter my key (it's still stuck on the case where I put it when I built the computer) it says it's not valid for windows 7 pro which is also the disk I used. It's the only computer I have lol.

Edit Nm fixed it. Hate cortana on my fucking phone why would I want that shit on my desktop. After an hour I'm going back to windows 7 if I can get my CD to install. Too much shit added for me. I want an OS to be an OS, not a search engine and 200 other things. I literally want it to allow...

All that stuff in the pic I posted. I had current_ver but no data entries at all. All the stuff listed as c:/program files etc...I don't have which may explain some of the issues I've been having with windows 7 pro.

Untucked shirts, in what dress code is that appropriate for pretty much anything other than casual and surely nobody would go "casual" to a wedding that wasn't at the beach or something. Like I said I wear jeans to work every day and even I tuck in my shirt.

This is what they wanted edited. I have a blank key for that. I have that key but nothing in it.

Someone on redit mentioned to edit a registery key for windows current version. I don't have that key lol.

Well so much for that. When it downloaded it gave me the option of what to keep. It only has the option of "norhint" saying my windows is installed in an unsupported directory. As far as I know it's on C: in the stand installation directory.
