Oh yes Love Hurts is a cover !! I thought you meant "Woke Up This Morning"

Thats way cool. There is an auction company that deals with collectables and cool items. www.ha.com Heritage Auction. I buy alot of guitars through them. But they from time to time do Beatles and other music memorabilia auctions. I use to get guitars dirt cheap there in the beginning. But more collectors heard about the company, and now prices are getting driven up, close to retail. Sucks. But go there and dig around. Pretty cool auction site.

I dont think its an Everly Brothers tune though. Song credits are some of the members of Nazareth. You might be thinking of another tune ?

The 60's and 70's saw many artists covering songs. And many times the cover is better than the original. Lord know the early Stones albums and Zep albums had many covers on them.

Good guess Pete !!! I was wondering who would figure it out first. Woke up this morning, my cat had died. I know I'll miss her.. Sat down and cried. Great bluesy tune. Very underrated band.

Whats your punchline !!

Someone dis-liked him and shot him in the head !! Don't freak out. Its a song reference.

I know !! Offered my wife to move to Florida or Hawaii and she will not budge. Maybe I need to leave her ass here in the snow !!

Here comes the big one Elizabeth !!! 8" to 12" on top of the 3" to 5" we have on the ground now. Moving to Hawaii or Florida sounds better everyday !!

Another of Nuno Bettencourts side bands. All of his solo work is extremely good guitar driven rock. One of the best guitarists of our time.

One of Nuno Bettencourt's (guitarist from Extreme) side projects.

Put a "Scratch & Sniff" sticker at the bottom of a swimming pool !!!

Grandson told me that one.

Is there a server up yet ? If so what the IP

Fish and Ships !!!!!

Pete has the hookup at his hospital !! Maybe he can get you some samples !! Hell send me some too Pete !! We can keep log books on stamina, longevity, amount and distance !!!

Which version !!! Song remains the same ? My favorite version. You sack of shit you !!

There are a lot of "Sacks of Shit" around here. Im one !! I dont care if you call me one.

I think Pain is still using Windows 3.0 !!! Or Dosshell !!!

Like mentioned above there are cheaper places to get Windows. But I believe that Microsoft still has the free upgrade system in place. Meaning as long as you have a legal windows 7 key or another version, you can use that key to activate Windows 10. I registered as an oem years ago with Microsoft (back in 1998) and still use my old keys to build my personal pc's. If you have a 7 key save the money and use it.

Especially since COD5 and Activision issues. Another cool game from the past that is available free is Kingpin. Gangster FPS. Would be cool to add one of those. I read a new version of Kingpin is being released this year

Thanks for warning us P-Man !!! Kill you soon !!!

Crypto mining is the way to go. Set up a dedicated miner system and let it go. I did a huge amount of research a few years back when it was crazy. I had it broke down by video card. Which card would earn the most and the amount to expect. My father and I were going to set up a small mining farm, but life kept that from happening. I will see if I can find that thread and repost it here. Found the thread. We were discussing the price of video cards going through the roof because of mining. This thread is a couple years old. Prices will come back down in a few months. Mining for cryptocurrency with "PC" rigs will slow down, now that the price of bitcoin and others are dropping. Plus the latest ASIC Miners are getting more efficient than PC rigs and ASIC miners are easier to setup. But they are pretty damn loud. More people are doing "Cloud Mining" ( I being one). With cloud mining your renting ASIC miners, that these sites maintain for a percentage of your profit. Now when ASIC Miners and/or video card rig prices settle down, I may build my own miner or buy an ASIC Miner. At current values (hash rates, difficulty rate and bitcoin price) a single Radeon 570 pc rig would earn around $3.00 - $3.50 per day (after operating costs). Thats $1,095 profit a year. Now build a PC rig with 6 Radeons would earn you $6,570 profit a year (at current values). A 6 card pc rig would cost roughly $1750 to $2,000 to build. After 4 months the rig is paid for. Now the latest ASIC Miners can earn you up to $250 a week or $13,000 per year. At current levels. But they cost around $6,000 to buy. An ASIC would pay for itself in 6 months. So in the long run ASIC's are the way to go. I predict bitcoin will be around $5,000 per coin in about a month (if not sooner). And with the governments around the world on the fence about cryptocurrencies, that alone is making shit volatile. Now if the governments come to a consensus and acknowledge cryptocurrencies, well one could see bitcoin shoot up to $100,000 in a few years. But then again, they could all go belly up !! Very interesting and unpredictable investment.

Im a huge Gigabyte fan. But have used MSI is the past on builds. I would add a mechanical hard drive for storing music, photos, etc. They are cheap. Spend the extra money and get Windows Pro. If your on a budget you can always get a cheaper case and or power supply. Plenty of fantastic cases and power supplies cheaper than those selected. As far as solid state drives I like the PCIe type (faster than sata). Ive used Intel brands on a few builds as well as Samsung. The PCIe drives tuck in out of sight on the MB. As far as liquid cooling is concerned, I dont use it on my personal builds. Its more for people who love to overclock their CPU's, which anymore the stock fans are fine for that too. So anymore its just a "cool factor" . But if you live in an non air conditioned house or are going to overclock the piss out of it, I would do liquid cooling. Just my opinion. And you know what those are like
