StevieM Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 @sparkeh D'oh! You beat me to it while I was watching the draw.
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Date on the video is wrong Indeed it is (or was - I've corrected it now). I save myself time by copypasting in the text from the previous day's vid but clearly today I rushed it a bit and forgot to amend the date. All fixed now. Anthony, the build tech who joins me in today's vid, clearly knows a thing or two about copypasting too (you'll have to watch the vid to find out what that means). Thanks for the heads up @bladedanny Al

Little-Miss Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 "copypasting" has that made it into the dictionary yet?
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 "copypasting" has that made it into the dictionary yet? Dunno, but it bloominwelloughta (there's another one for you). Al 1
X-13 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Every time I hear you talk about the "pen" all I can think of is "We can rewrite it... we have the technology" [in the style of the 6 million dollar man.] Side note: Did @VeryPC_Tom_B get freaked out when I emailed him? [Did he even see it?]
sparkeh Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 The Word is mightier than the pen... or something. Kinda works?
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Side note: Did @VeryPC_Tom_B get freaked out when I emailed him? [Did he even see it?] Not sure - he's on the road today demoing a VeryPC Glide Touch to a new customer so I can't ask him afraid. I suspect that he's fairly used to receiving emails by this stage in his career though! [He's not literally "on the road" demoing a Glide. He hasn't set up a stall on the M1 or anything] Al

featured_spectre Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 how dare you re-write my 15 page essay! lol
X-13 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I suspect that he's fairly used to receiving emails by this stage in his career though! This wasn't just any email... All caps, "THIS COMPUTER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM!"
sparkeh Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 This wasn't just any email... All caps, "THIS COMPUTER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM!" Is the problem that the Caps key is stuck on?
X-13 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Is the problem that the Caps key is stuck on? Yeah, makes the teacher all shouty and we have no way of quieting them. Not good. I probably need to borrow a 40,000v re-education stick.
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 This wasn't just any email... All caps, "THIS COMPUTER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM!" I see. Well, he's a big boy, I'm sure he can handle it. Al
X-13 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I see. Well, he's a big boy, I'm sure he can handle it. Al TBH it's now looking like it's a class problem rather than a computer one. [i'm still keeping the upgrade ]
Oaktech Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah, makes the teacher all shouty and we have no way of quieting them. You can't fix stupid, but you can sedate it...
synaesthesia Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm the customer being showed the Glide! Very impressed 1
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 I'm the customer being showed the Glide! Very impressed Very glad to hear it. Does that mean the demo is done? Or.... noooooo! Don't tell me you're posting DURING the demo! That would be so cool! Al
synaesthesia Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 No, Tom (and colleague, I'm a bugger for remembering names!) are already on their way back and the machine is busy looking sexy in it's place currently! It even got the school's Head very excited and the order is likely to contain an extra machine as a result 2
X-13 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm the customer being showed the Glide! Very impressed We have a glide here. They're really nice. Fast booting and silent. [Even when they're RM-ified.]
synaesthesia Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I've learned a few touch screen commands (or "gestures" as kids these days call them!) as a result today so I'm pleased And yeah, damn quick to start. Will probably build it onto the network soon to see how it handles GPOs but that's more of a win8 concern than the unit itself. Sturdy, fast, sexy. Can't knock it really, considering it's competition from RM (how much???) Apple (you MUST be joking!) and ViglURRUUUUUUGHn. 1
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) No, Tom (and colleague, I'm a bugger for remembering names!) are already on their way back and the machine is busy looking sexy in it's place currently! It even got the school's Head very excited and the order is likely to contain an extra machine as a result Yayyyy! Great to get the news on the thread like this. We can act all casual when Tom and Kiefer (btw) get back saying we don't need to know how the meeting went, 'cos we already know! Doesn't take much to amuse me... Al Edited October 17, 2013 by VeryPC
X-13 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Kiefer Sutherland?! He works for VeryPC? Holy pause balls, first Morgan Freeman advertises you and now Kiefer Sutherland. Working for VeryPC must be like hanging around Hollywood.
