I just don't need mine ready to go into the museum of fine arts, I like it to look like it's used, really used.

And mine has been in use since 2019, and is being used now as I type this

You do you. I'll do me

Being Anal Retentive is a full time job though

I was being a dork, but it's true, I no longer have the time or the patience to be so meticulous!

Like all things in life, it's a matter of perspective. I don't have the time or patience to be so meticulous in lots of things others do.

So yeah... perspectives!

I wasn’t referring to you. I don’t see your name in RD’s post either, and earlier when you had a go at pparks, he was quoting winuser. You’re a tad paranoid, the world doesn’t revolve around you, not everyone is thinking about you when they comment. You read into things too much. Maybe take a chill pill.

I have a good bud of mine, He and his wife left Houston for Australia on Friday morning, he text me last night around 9 pm, said it was about noon there, said they were heading for the Mountain Rain Forest, they were waiting on their ride.

Do you know what part of Australia? Today it’s a beautiful day in the Gold Coast Queensland.

This was his text....."It's Monday, noon here. Going to the mountain rainforest in a few minutes. Waiting on transportation. Left there Friday and got to here Sunday at 16:00 hours. Literally fell into bed last night".

Call it what you will. At the end of the day, I'm going to reply the way I see fit. And I'm simply being snarky.... Like many others here.

As for pparks you've zero idea our history. And yeah, we've had that exact conversation over at tenforums. Which just happen to coincide with my cable management post there as well.

Edit: to clarify, I not upset with pparks post either. Just reminding.

Peace

Hmmm we have rainforrests everywhere. I’ll guess New South Wales. You’ll probably never see your mate again, they come here from the States and never want to leave.

I'm in IT and I own a Air Compressor as a lot of clients bring their computers to me and oh my god they are filthy and I blow them out before I bring them into my office. One of my clients computer I cant believe it was even working without over heating.

The owner must live in a dusty environment.
I'd hate to imagine what his lungs look like.

I can tell you, if I ever left Texas for either Norway or Australia, I would never want to come back.

Unfortunately, many don't realize how dusty and dirty a PC can get inside. Usually, they only realize something is amiss when the PC begins to overheat, or the power supply fan stops working. Suddenly, they open the PC and... oh my god

That said, yeah, you don't need to be obsessive like me, but it doesn't hurt to look inside your PC case at least once (ideally twice) a year to insure things aren't to the point of clogging up parts and causing heating issues. Especially if your case has front fans.

Many don't think about it, but that's also performance hit.

Here are a couple of my clients computers before I tackle them with my Air Compressor

I use a vacuum so I don't have to unhook every damn thing and take the tower outside!

First time I used a vacuum, I was minus a few jumpers when I finished!

I see why it was suggested I use a can of compressed air all those years ago

Doesn’t take long for them to get like that. My teenage sons office is gross, his computer case is the only thing I’ll touch. Always full of dust and crap. Woollen carpet etc… and like I said, just gross.

Just about time to pull out the air compressor again
