Mclaneinc Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hey Tim, sorry to hear about the work situation, sadly it was a no win situation there, bosses son and all that but it shows tremendous class to still stand up to it and take a pop back. as yo know I had a rather rough time towards the end with work. Awful working environments are incredibly stressful, more so than many imagine. Glad of two things, you are on the mend and you have still been able to hold on to great big chunk of your collection...Well done that man. Paul. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not to mention the racism of the place as well as the sexual harassment I had to see the women put up with (who didn't quit the place). Bygones.

Not pretty... That is pretty much me at the moment. I would probably need to take 2 weeks off of work and then work on my house to be able to show any particular set up... as it is I have Atari co.puters and various peripherals strewn all over (doesn't help that I got into printers lately too!)

I agree. If people enjoy modding a case that's fine with me. Personally I like keeping these computers clean and original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 how is a deflated football politics? or is that the whole thing a had political reason for the ensuing investigations or what have you? Is anything that happens no longer news or fact but politics if a person doesn't like it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
