WOW!
2. Start using your email provider's webmail interface instead of a traditional computer-based email client (or at the VERY least, tick the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" checkbox)
WOW!
You should do two things NOW.
1. Send that crap to the Smithsonian, gather up $450, and pick up a 4th Gen Core i3 Windows 8.1 touchscreen laptop
2. Start using your email provider's webmail interface instead of a traditional computer-based email client (or at the VERY least, tick the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" checkbox)
Gamers and media content creators aside, there's almost no economic justification for building you own computer anymore, especially if it's just an internet box (mail, browsing, entertainment, streaming video). Go to Fry's, make a list of the parts, don't forget to include a modern OS, then total it up....just the parts are probably 50% more than what you could by a whole comparable box from a major manufacturer.
Components from 2001-2004 are seven generations behind in development!
A computer is a tool that helps you get a job done. Let's make a comparison......think of your toolbox in the garage. Imagine if all it had inside were a pair of pliers, two screwdrivers, and a set of six open end wrenches. No socket wrenches, stubby rachet handles, no flare nut wrenches, no test light, no multimeter, no 15 piece screwdriver assortment, no stick magnet......nuthin'. Yes you could still do work on cars, but WOW it would be so painful and time consuming and utterly frustrating to do so, right? And why? Because you haven't taken advantage of the advances in tools that make what you want to do sooooooo much easier and faster.
It's the same logic......why would you deliberately hobble your ability to accomplish those computer related tasks by suffering with old and slow when new and fast is readily and cheaply available?
is the LACK of communication that instills a level of distrust and hard feelings.
It's happened before. Maybe providing each other with phone numbers and calling when there is a problem would be a solution requiring no outlay of additional cash... plus... it would reinforce TRUST.
I'm going to formally "suggest" to the moderators that this becomes part of the FS&W Rules along with a City, State and Country note as on all future posts. It can be part of a Seller's signature line... and not necessary for all other posts. I think it is a small thing to require for the "privilege" of posting items for sale on this board.
Glad this incident is working out favorably.

Still going right over your head....
The point THEY'RE trying to make is. You took off for 2 weeks...
You could at least head down to your local Library and login to Xweb and let your customers know this. You didn't attempt to do that.
