Dell Hardware Swap/Add Capability?

[Michael Culley]

You seem to be getting angry again kory. Lol. I'm not going to debate the
quality of the power supplies I buy with you, that is getting off the topic.
I asked if you understood the term "attacking the man and not the
arguement", it is clear this is one of the many things you know little
about.

LOL, yes line length is going to turn usenet into a kaotic (maxwell smart
spelling) mess. Gunna tell me off for top posting too?

There's nothing wrong with top posting...as long as you put in
footnotes and number them properly! lol

And DON'T use Roman numerals. That's another Usenet n0-n0!!


Have a nice week...

Follow Joan Rivers' example --- get pre-embalmed!

Sadly you don't get it.
I don't need to get emotional at all, because it is an
intellectual truth that you have substandant tech practices and
can't even service an OEM box unless you get luckly or make
multiple trips back and forth, LOL.

OK, I concede that i was emotional with that "LOL".

The sad part is that instead of LEARNING to do the job you allude
to being a "pro" at, you want to whine and place blame elsewhere,
claiming this is a problem for you in multiple ways. Take the
hint:

Other techs manage to do the work fine.

THAT is why "attacking the man' came into play, because the topic
started out with potential incompatibilies, then to a specific
issue, which is common enough and to most it would not be a
problem, except for the one specific man that wants to argue
about it instead of learning how to service more than just a box
that is 100% compatible with the man's theoretical ideal. It is
the MAN that wants to debate OEM box issues when the MAN is the
one who didn't have experience working on many OEM boxes, so he
was trying to come off as a "Pro" but an ignorant pseudo-pro
would be a better description. Perhaps you are very good at
servicing the clone boxes you've seen, but being very good at
something you're familiar with is a bit different than being a
"pro" in the field. The MAN turned the conversation towards
individual practices, away from the factual resolution of what
that MAN thought was a problem. You personalized this, not I...
I just took the ball and ran with it afterwards.

Of course you don't want to debate power supplies, because you
already admitted that you don't even know what they are until you
receive them. We debate power supplies all the time and so far,
the "unknown generic lottery" isn't a gamble that most people
want taken on their system.

You seem to want attention but then once you have it, there is
nothing worthwhile to your posts. In technical groups you'll be
labeled as a troll and ignored pretty quickly if you can't come
up with some positive, constructive additions to the threads
instead of just complaining all the time.

You have twisted my words here, totally. I said *IF* I bought a power supply based on the picture I would not know what I was going
to get because the picture won't match the power supply. Are you stupid?? Oh, I forgot.

You still don't get the "attacking the man", again you just threw personal insults. This is usually done in the absence of any valid
arguement. The point is dell are dodgy because they don't follow very well known industry standards. Sure I might be able to work
around this and find a different power supply, but it will catch people out and will definately cause hassles.

LOL, is that attacking the man?
I'm fairly sure I didn't come right out and call you stupid, yet,
but now that you bring up the topic...

No, you posted hypotheticals about what "the man" would do. I
posted back why "the man" is the problem if following those
hypotheticals.

You are truely dense if you can't grasp that by introducing the
scenario, you have made it a part of the argument. I am then
going to comment on that scenario you introduced, if and when it
is relevant to the argument.

This is usually done in the absence of any valid
arguement.

That was why you introduced it in the first place.

The point is dell are dodgy because they don't follow very well known industry standards. Sure I might be able to work
around this and find a different power supply, but it will catch people out and will definately cause hassles.

You are jumping to conclusions. The industry standard is ATX.
The Dell unit we discussed, uses an ATX power supply. You
assumed it is an industry standard to have a provision for a
power switch, when the majority of systems do not have this power
switch, including most OEM boxes. I linked the spec for you,
which does not include power switch mounting spot spec. Does
"the man", LOL, have any source at all that claims the switch is
an industry standard? You'll need a few sources, since the
industry stanards are documented, not just what that particular
man happens to see a few times or sell himself.

Perhaps if (the man) had more field experience he'd have realized
that it is not unusual to need a PSU without the switch. By not
realizing this, the man was emphasizing a point that is not
nearly as significant as he'd imagined.

"The man" is assuming Dells are dodgy when it seems that man knew
little about them, or about many different OEM boxes. Since the
man appears to know more about clone boxes, the man would be
better off reserving his comments to systems he actually has some
experience with.

I have not read your reply. I know it will again be full of personal insults and avoid the actual issue being discussed. You have a
desperate need to put other people down and I'm not going to be the one to fullfill your childish needs.

You are an idiot and a poor loser. Kony has helped more people fix their
hardware problems here than you've had orgasms (including delf-induced ones,
and that's saying a lot).

You are the childish one with the need to *win* an argument. Do us all a
favour and just don't read the whole group.

Buh-bye now.
