Have they ever tried to do a cavity search on you, Deatrice?

One other thing that annoys me about the GOG forums:

It seems that too many of the subforums either are:
* Dead (for example, the Dust: An Elysian Tail subforum where I asked a gameplay question some time ago and it hasn't received any replies), or
* Hostile environments, where some posters seem to look down on actual gameplay discussion, and instead want to argue that the topic shouldn't be asked instead of discussing the topic

(Examples: Some nearly dead subforums include Ultima and Wizardry, hostile forums include the infinity engine game forums, while some of the few good forums include Might and Magic and Quest for Glory.)

Speaking of which, you got a decent UPS for that new PC?

the new PC is still in the shop
I haven't turned it on yet

I meant for these situations in general. You spent a fair amount of coin on the new rig...

Yeah I guess. Things get here pretty fast all things considered. Shit, I don't have a lot to compare it to. I never used UPS when I lived in the city; I didn't need it.

Think of it as a condom for electrons. Prevents you from getting fucked as you're getting laid.

I would get one for your business setup, too. Good insurance.

I don't think we are talking about the same thing here. :P

UPS?

Uninterruptible Power Supply. The battery backup thingy

oh
I have no clue what that is :P

Really? I'll post or PM some examples later. Like a surge suppressor, but a UPS actually protects your stuff.

i have a surge protector. where I live you need one of those for your fucking toaster. :P

Those are all-but-useless for electronics. I highly recommend a UPS for your new PC, and also for whatever system you use for the business stuff.

business stuff? :P Just tracking reservations but that's online on our web page. We don't keep anything business on our computers. We do all of our books and everything on paper, the old fashioned way.
