oh crap! when I read this post this morning I was literally walking out the door to work and didn't see the bit about your dad.

Forget the computer, I hope your dad makes a quick recovery from whatever he's in the hospital with.

the scrreen is so damn beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it looks better than the 6k 50inch pioneer elite plasma downstairs!!!!!!!!! the only way to go is the 1920/1200 from what i can see!!!!! Oh and thanks for caring all (my father)....things are worsening a little but he is hanging in there....It sucks b/c i am up in the chi trying to maintsin everything and my father is deathly ill in florida...and now my mom is il probably from visiting the hospital everyday!!!!! just a bad change of events.....thing that even sucks more is that if he gets out of this massive infection he will have MAJOR Liver surgery in the beginning of march.... he has had a MAJOR surgery every year for the past three years...he doesn't even drink!!!!!!!! first a tumor on his back the size of a tennis ball right on his spine took four lamina away from his spine, second a colon recection last year from diverticulitus....and thirdly this major liver surgery comming up....all extremely painful surgery.....he is mentally losing it a little from all the stress and to make things worse my sister is basically disowned from the fam since she is nuts and won't help herself and considering she is 31 she is on her own......this kills my father more than all the sugeries combined....so we are in a little mess...but god willing all will work out in the end!!!! I just hope this is some sick and twisted test and it all ends up ok...but as you can see it is a shotty situation to be in.......BUT ON A BRIGHTER NOTE THIS IS THE BEST COMP IN THE WORLD!!!! HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THOSE PICS UP LATER TODAY OR TOMORROW!!!! peace

theres an old saying concerning situations like this..."its always darkest just before dawn." meaning when things can't get any worse, the only outcome is good. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.

Nice Setup

I would take that lappy and let ur father play some CSS on it. I heard it can work miracles. You need to run 3dmark06 so you can knock Hullioni and I down in scores. You lappy will be faster than mine (but mine will be a bit prettier).

true about the css....i will get benchies up soon w/photo's......i must say your custom paint job is sick as hell on both those comps and i will say though the blue metalic look on this machine is absolutely incredible...looks like i sent it to smooth for a blue finish.....it's unbelievably better than expectations...

Thanks again all for the support on these sad issues.....sorry to bring them up in suxh an amazinfg thread about an incredible computer....it's just i never would have had this right now without him and he is my Hero...the tears can't stop sometimes but life must move on.... he will make it you all will see....i sure hope so things just keep getting worse when i think they cannot!!!!!

Good things happen to people on these forums it seems. Hammer seems to be as frisky as ever. Cancerkiller's baby is boucing back big time. Yang escaped a major fire with his spicey arse intact. Count urself amongst lucky people.

how could you consider a father in the hospital, who had a tumor, colon recession, and a bad liver, who's condition could be worsened even more because of the emotional distress of a daughter who is mentally unstable (if i'm reading that correctly), lucky? I don't know, to me that seems like a sh*tload of stress to deal with. sorry Purplewidow, you sound like you bear the weight of the world on your shoulders. but yes, I think it will all turn out well in the end.

Choco latte....

I think DB was trying to say that there are a ton of lucky people on these forums.... all those people thought they were in dire straights and somehow everything turned out good. With luck and prayers.... Purple's luck will turn around too like so many on these boards.

I think that's what he was trying to say.
post #19 of 31
ah, I see it, he's saying that Purple is with the lucky people on these forums, right? yeah we're all rooting for ya Purple!
post #20 of 31
Thanks Duncan. Not sure how that point could be missed but maybe too much chocolate lattes
