build your own computers, its much much much cheeper.
use linux instead of microcrap. there is a huge savings. linux is free!
I could use an hour or 2 of face to face interaction if you can build computers from parts. To bad you are not in NH USA.
My whole problem is not understanding the details of what works with what. With my new refer web monitor box thing, I thought i wanted to add another dvd. it has one dvd, and i got the bright idea it should have another. So i bought one, but there is no place on the mb to plug it in.
The shipping to send that dvd burner back would kill any value recieved, so i still have it in a box new. The one i should have bought is ATV I think, and the same one I did buy is skuzi, but i know I am not spelling that right.
Knowing which pins and connectors is what is important, but finding that out, so far has eldued me.
I can drop out a clutch on car in a few heart beats, but this is just different.
I'll consider the recession over once the U-6 measure of unemployment is below 10%. When the vast majority of people have meaningful employment and can pay their bills- things are good.
The unemployment rate, which is obtained from a separate household survey, unexpectedly rose to 9.8% last month. More than 15 million people who would like to work can't get a job.
Speaking of recovery, and computers, and technology in general, this is what I was told by a friend who is in the technology sector. According to him, there are companies that have positions that need to be filled, but aren't filling them because they are slow to hire anyone right now. A company being reluctant to hire anyone is out of government's hands. Not much you can do about that.
3 maybe 4 days ago the anchors on CNN were all laughing and cheery, saying the worst was over the recession. Now they are in a state of shock, un-employment is going up again. Duh

Yes, they are reluctant to hire. The uncertainty about the tax rates, the health care, and the economy in general makes them apprehensive about hiring more people... The government could do something about resolving taxes and health care...
I would love to buy quality, even if it costs more. The problem is, American store don't stock ANY quality goods. Even the supposedly American brands are now mostly built overseas as cheaply as possible. Almost nothing is made in our country anymore, and it is becoming impossible to buy quality even if you're willing to pay for it. For instance, my GE fridge died after 5 years (I remember they used to last at least 25 years). And it was EXPENSIVE.

The thing is though, there is a rising "disposable" pattern going on. Sort of a mentality of "hire someone not as well educated and cheaper to pay, then fire the person the very moment something goes wrong". There isn't any emphasis on hiring the best workers, but rather, hiring the cheapest. The people who are looking for the jobs are the people who have been in the workforce a long time. Now more companies have an unofficial policy of "if you haven't worked in at least a year, then we aren't going to hire you".
