Should draw him away long enough for you to dive in and get you some.
LOLOLOLOL....now that's funny right there. LOL.
Went to my favorite spot yesterday and all the had "was trash" as BT69 said it. :)

Rob,
you might want to erase all of the info on that disk before you get too comfy with it, who knows what sort of pictures are on it, or anything which might get you in trouble with the feds, (kiddie porn, virus stuff, etc) better safe than sorry. Go to western digital's web page and download the diagnostics programs, then format and erase the disk a couple of times to eliminate everything from it before you use it. just a cautionary tale of advice.

oh i have done that allready. i reformated it 3 times now from what i seen it only had windows Xp on it and a few empty folders.out of the 80gb it was only useing 14gb. thats about what the OS takes up looks like who did have it cleaned it out first. but i did reformat it and put nortons and AD-Ware 6 on it to scan it real good.i have it in my older tower now. i took the 100gb Seagate back out of it and stuck it back in my main system. now have the 250 adn 100 gb seagates in it

@ddp
the mem was kigngston 256sdr pc133 which i can use on my older tower. i have a empty slot for it. the motherboard is a AZE11A. looks like my older motherboard except it is smaller only has 3 pci slot mine has 5. it looks older than mine it also only has 2 slots for memeory, mine has 3.. it does have a 300w psu mine is only 250w.
the 20gb hdd when i put it in my system now it would even show it as being hooked up. i went to device manager and only showed my 250gb not the 20gb... so to be honest im only assumeing its bad. i havent done anything else wtih it.

if the drive shows up in the bios but not windows than needs to be partitioned & formated.

Just made a stop at one of the local BB. Found two boxes of movie posters. Still all rolled up in the shrink wrap. Thought cool!
Well, when I got them home found out they had been all cut in half! They should have been 22x34 in size. Got two pieces of 11x34. (Not worth taping together . . .)
Sheesh. They must be reading this forum.

Dang it all, just when you thought E-bay millions were in your hands.....DENIED!
Wonder if asking the MGR for extra movie posters would be fruitful?

Hmmm ...
The posters were in their display boxes. Priced at like 6 or 7 bucks each, but I guess they didn't sell well enough. Asking for "extras" probably would not work in this case. Mostly Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Carribean2.
Made a stop at several places earlier this morning and all they had were wet cardboard boxes. At least they were Quality Wet.

Tuesday is the day all the new movies hit dvd. So I stopped today for a quick check at BB. The dumpster was nearly empty, except for 2 very large bags of cases. It was all I could do to reach one of them. The second would not even fit in the trunk of my small car, so I left it for the next diver.
Here's what I found - 130 cases, so clean that I don't even need to wipe them. And one disk of United 93 - not a mark on it. Not sure if I will watch the movie as the subject matter is so depressing.

Now I'm not one to question the integrity or dedication of a fellow diver. The cause is such that what he leaveth, I taketh away. But in these situations, when, Mr. Rulisky, you feel like just walking away from FREE CASES when all it takes is the resolve to get a little lettuce in your boxers, then, by golly darnit it all, GIVE US AN ADDRESS! There's cases out there, son; cold, lonely, and bagged up for convenience. If you're not up to it soldier, maybe you should lower your flag and start a Dumpster Picker thread...oh, dammit...see, now look what you made me do. I gotta go to the bathroom.

That's what I was thinking. Couldn't help myself on this one. I've been searching for the elusive "BAG" of cases for months now and some lucky soul finds my treasure and then doesn't DIVE in to get it. :) OK I'm like ripdogg here, where does you live so we can all come over and share the wealth.
J/K rulisky, having a bit of fun.
HOpe all is well for everyone. Thanks for the giggles ripdogg and cincy. :)

you guys should have a gaff hook on a small pole so you can reach in without having to get into the garbage.

LOL!!
OK. Next time I promise to get both. But, honestly, the second bag would not fit in the trunk of my car (and it has no back seat).
Is that pentence enough?

I don't need a gaff hook, I've got a 6 year old that thinks dumpster diving is a sport. LOL. He will run around in there throwing stuff everywhere to find a case. It makes me so proud........... ;)

Greensman,
That might be the most dysfunctional thing I've ever heard....God Bless You. It almost makes me want to have more kids.
Rulisky,
You should say three Hail JVCs and pray the elusive Sasquatch hasn't sniffed out your territory already (we're still looking for pictures).

@ GM I'm still laughing my arse off picturing him rummaging through the dumpster while dad stands there with a tear in his eye, so proud of the little one. Chris
