"Idiots" Nice hate mail to me from ??? Someone

Here's a GREAT message I got as a reply to a dang memory chip I was selling and listed a little off, I'll add.  I was offering to send someone cpuz , a program that tells you all the specifications of your computer in order to know what kind of memory they needed.  I was actually going to zip the one file program and send it as a .zip file, by the way, but whatever... I don't even know the guy and won't give his name out here..

(Thank you Max! for your bold reply to this nut and the info on whom he is ..... !)

-Notice how Max calls out the email software this guy's using?  How would one know this, as the sender doesn't say anything about it, and it's from a plain old google mail account....  30 years experience and you send a message like this as naked as eve before adam on a saturday night?

LESSON FOR THE DAY:  SECURITY! PRIVACY!  KNOW WHAT PEOPLE CAN KNOW ABOUT YOU FROM AN EMAIL YOU SEND!  You can call us or come by to find out more.   There are free programs that will masque these open doors..............

Actual letter from some guy to me:  (and then Max's kind reply to him - WHICH I DIDN'T ASK HIM TO DO!:

OK, so here's Max's reply  (and by the way, after graduating high school with honors and a 3.8 gpa I spent the next six and a half years in college and flight school. (pre-law, French.......pilot license (non-ILS).

I thought that was funny as hell..- the forward I got... Wait. Now most new systems? Wait again?  Do you know Mark and his blogs?  You said "pc 6300 ddr2" as he put a chip for sale on Craigslist isn't compatible with most new computers.. I know what he's got. His ad title's written wrong.  It should be pc2 6400 (666mhz), as it would work in a machine taking pc2 5300 or 4200 for that matter..............Like , about 80% of the laptops sold in the past 4-6 years... or , most of them.

What's the pickle with Mark anyways? "What dumbass would offer to send someone an exe file?"  How about someone willing to help them improve their computer by using a particular tool that's made in an executable format.  You wrote your email with Outlook 11... , Did you not download an exe setup file for that a decade ago or whatever?  Don't you think YOU should consider an upgrade somewhere?
-- I think if there would BE one, it would be the "idiot" who DOWNLOADED an exe file, not offered to send it?  What makes that person a dumbass?  Especially if they've been helping people to get their computers running right since about 1996- a year before we graduated high school, or more than 14 years ago...however you want to look at it... A non profit organization (or three actually) have received a great deal of help, many times via .exe files sent to fix problems... How many non-profits have you helped in this manner over the last 30 years?  Do you call them "idiots" when they download .exe files you send them, such as virus scan tools, VoIP programs to communicate or so on?

Thirty years, "in your experience most computers run at 40% - 60% RAM cap."  Wow, what computer particular computer would you be referring to running in such a way in 1980?"  You know you've got 4 years on him by the way- it was 1984 when he was six that he got his first PC.  So he's only been programing and working with PC's for 26 years. 


Wow that was a laugh but it highlights a serious problem- there are a lot of hot headed nuts out there ready to blow out at any random person (in his message Mark said he didn't know you, and you don't claim how you know him in your out of the blue cut towards some item he was selling, completely along the guidelines of craigslist) for $35 (I think).....

A 2 Gigabyte RAM chip for a a notebook for $35................ You don't think that would have any benefit on a system?  Why don't you Google and Ebay check that chip and see what these chips are selling for?  Then wonder why they're selling for that. 

Settle down man, you're liable to walk into a McDonald's and do something you'll regret one day?

Thanks Max!  Typically I wouldn't put something so juvenile on here, but I'm trying to increase business with the Jerry Springer effect......


No, but 1. SECURITY.  Don't send emails calling someone you don't know ANYTHING!  You never know when that person's going to have friends who work for the state investigating cyber crimes, ,.. or something like that...


2:  Unless you're computer's taken care of and you know it..........................2 Gigabytes of RAM (memory) will ABSOLUTELY speed up your system, make it more capable, and thus extend its life by allowing it to run cooler, not having to use the hard disk for page files and caches and by allowing you to get done more things at once or one thing faster- the less you use your PC, the longer it will last you...........
