I drove around Hamilton most of the day..until my last business..to pick up an HDMI splitter adapter at Best Buy. Going into Best Buy almost ruined my great day. I had forgotten you see how pompous and ridiculous Best Buys sales staff actually are and never went back after the first time..enuff time for me to have forgotten who they really are. the refreshed my memory..and brought home to me just ridiculous the computer business really is..a total ripp off of the consumer

the sale of computers is a monopoly, service is expensive and ridiculous and hardly worth the effort. forget parts, repairs etc unless you can do it yourself. if you can do it yourself set up your own service business. there is oodles of money to be made for good service..even for poor service.

it is best to buy new something every time. buy a good original computer and use it till it drops..then buy a new one. and don't buy from Best Buy which is a very poor sales entity. I am so sorry I forgot and went there

for repairs it is 65 dollars for diagnostic. then they send it out for repairs and no one knows what the cost will be when it returns. you can pay 5-6 hundred for a pc and end up paying much the same for repairs one time.

and 5-600 is where you start with computers, which are altogether too expensive

Don't be afraid to buy a new one

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I am not afraid to buy..I have bought many computers already..I have 2 right now and one may be dead

I had 3 monitors going eh, and my Windows conk out on me...cursor wont work..gone into power-saving mode so here are things on my motherboard that need replacement and I don't know if that has anything to do with the cursor cutting out..some kind of hard problem inside the pc eh.

so I have a Mac mini with the windows..I had 2 monitors hooked up to the windows and on to the Mac. now I just have the Mac..but you know something..I really do not like Macintosh computers from experience. they say that Mac is so great and I don't find that at all. I like Windows..and to carry two monitors on my Mac I need a dual monitor adapter. those things cost 89 dollars at Best Buy.

I have had my Mac for 4 years now..that's not value relative to what you buying it for. if we depreciate the Mac it makes no sense investing 100+ more into it.

my windows is 6 years old. what do I do with it..send it for repairs or simply toss it?

I am a cheap man..I don't like to lose value I can save :huh: :huh: :huh:

First of all. Desktops are for corporate use : so it's a dinosaur in yuh living room !
as is your version of Windows !
Years ago, I stored in my Garage and they are now clutter and fit for Landfill
only reason I kept it is for the few Bitcoins on the hard drive ~~

Trinis are generally very cheap arse people, hence cannot catch up with the rest of society....

My computers are now all Tablets and Cell phone ~

this mawnin is a different day indeed. I supposes I should issue thanks to Best Buy now because the way they treated me yesterday I did not buy their expensive stuff. they save me a lot of money I did not need to spend at all. why....

last night before bed, sleepy and after going over my research on my issue I an idea came to me that helped me to sort my problem out. sleepy or not I went at it and it worked. the sleep in my eye fled and energized I fixed my problem. I am good this mawnin...yet there is one mechanical problem I may not be able to fix..a simple bad electrical plug I cant get to stabilize

and look at that! what I thought was an intractable problem was not at all. Thanks Best Buy! I will demonstrate my appreciation to you by never setting foot into that store again. Piss on Best Buy. even the Negro part of the staff there..and it's a lot of them in there..are pompous and class prejudiced, as if they doing you a favor to attend to you

if Best Buy remains the only computer store there is I wont have a computer..that is how much contempt I have developed for that store and its products. I wont even accept a gift were it bought from Best Buy:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

and look..its a situation with computer people generally! they are all untrustworthy, never explain anything as they should and can take you easily for a financial ride..even my own son who is very successful at the higher end. I don't even ask him for advice anymore. he never has the time anyway.

the key to computers is to now yourself. you have to pay attention, dig in and come to know all you need to know to protect yourself when it comes to computers and dealing with those who sell computers and parts for computers and computer services of all kind. and if you do come to know you can open up and offer services yourself..you could make a lot of money even if you are only reasonable honest. people would eat up your service once they discovered that about your service

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 10:28)(10:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches.
