The DOS Manifesto
Welcome eBayers to my "me" page!
My name is David, handyman and cook of the house. I am a graduate of Tri-County Technical College, with Industrial Electronics Technology (IET) as my major. My favorite thing here at eBay is the consumer electronics. I like browsing the categories under this section and communicating with sellers and the Q&A Board. Recent laptop troubles have resulted in me becoming a regular on the computer board too. I currently work at the only Electrolux refrigeration plant in the USA as a back-up for my entire department. Unless someone in my department is out, I usually act as material handler and as the reliever when people go on break.Some of my hobbies...
I have a lot of potted plants on our front porch and maintain a flower bed and 15'x15' garden. I like working on computers too, as you might have concluded from the "Welcome" paragraph. What kind of computers? Any kind - laptops, desktops, fast, slow, old, new... Well, mostly old, but that's only because old ones are the ones that usually need working on. I also like working on and upgrading my radio controlled vehicles. As of now, my RC truck can play my favorite music over a mini sub, turn on it's headlights at night, do a wheelie continuously until the battery gives out, and haul about 50LBS of rocks in a wagon. My RC car can go 0-to-60 in about one second with it's 3 turn x2 electric motor. As for my stereo, at 100x4 watts RMS with 3 subs, 4 tweeters and 4 midranges, it's a force to be reckoned with (Update: system is now 440 Watts RMS overall). It's quite loud for its size, with frequency response of 1Hz-30kHz. All this obtained from what used to be 50Wx2. Another one of my projects is my 1972 Buick Electra. With 455ci. 4 bbl all Buick engine, original everything (excluding gaskets), low riding supersoft suspension, and enough power to haul a wrecker, this 19ft. beast is my pride. That along with my economical 305 powered longbed regular cab Silverado in my opinion makes an unbeatable team of economy, power, and capacity that can't be beat. As stated above, started recently is a medium sized vegetable garden (one of my many outdoor projects). With onions, peas, snap beans (green beans), cayenne peppers, tomatoes, banana peppers, and corn it's a fairly good variety in 125 square feet. I have a few more... make that a lot more, but you've probably had enough of this, so feel free to check out the pics, help section, and a few of my favorite sites!Watch out fellas, the old OS is back...
Huh? The car in the background? Oh, that's just my other car ;-)
For real, I got one just like it... 1:20 scale.

Try evolt.org and chances are you'll find it! evolt contains about any and every browser you could ever want! Ever wished Internet Explorer had tabbed browsing? Now you can add that and many other advanced features with the Maxthon shell. So, you want Windows XP. Ever wonder what the difference is between XP Home and Professional editions? Check here before making your decision. Thinking about going to Vista already? Well then check out This Side-By-Side Comparison of XP vs. Vista to help you decide. XP users, want to tweak your start-up apps? First got to the "Start" menu, then click "Run..." and type "services.msc", then go Here! For items not found on that site, you might try This one.

Need to translate a line of text or even a whole webpage? Try Babel Fish Translator by AltaVista. Need antivirus protection? I recommend AntiVir PersonalEdition by H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH.

Or if you prefer more advanced controls, try Outpost Firewall by Agnitum products (also free). Another worth looking at is Sunbelt Kerio, a complete low-cost solution.

A site mainly dealing with the 1972 Buick Electra! Need a car manual? You'll likely find it and lots of other vehicle related literature Here. This site (formerly "justcaraudio.com") has pretty decent prices on new car audio.

These extremely hard to come by items can still be found Here.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've got six words for ya:
1.STAY It's incredible how bad some sellers are (notice I said some, not all). Don't use sneaky descriptions (e.g. describing the features of something while conveniently forgetting to make it known that it doesn't work). Don't charge $20.00 to ship something that weighs one or two ounces. Have pictures of the actual item. If you're going to sell to English-speaking customers, learn to speak English yourself. And for pete's sake, don't wait until a few minutes before or after the auction ends to answer a question. Especially you "Power Sellers" who think they are too good to actually deal with the customer or help with their problems with your products. And shame on eBay for not taking better measures to protect the buyers for fear of losing the fee-paying sellers.  |
