I waste way to much time on this forum, but I figure at least I'm learning things. And since everyone else in the world seems to be watching reality TV for 50-60 hours a week and GETTING DUMBER that I'm pretty much ahead of the game

The forum has saved me money and time in my Vette repairs.

OT also was helpful at fixing 2 laptops, diagnosing computer maladies, Ham, Chilli & Pot Roast recipies, best places to buy PC parts etc.

It's really the best forum on the net.
