With regret, I must inform you I won't be at DU often if at all for a long

[HEyHEY]

Time. Call this self - indulgent, but I really should explain why I won't be here.

At my new job, I won't be on the internet ( I assume). And I don't own a computer. So, that's that I guess.
I'm saving for a computer, so hopefully I will be on as usual in a few months. But until that time, we have only two weeks together....so, soak me in!

[DebJ]

1. I'll miss you HEyHEy. My computer only cost $75 at a pawn

shop...was an exceptional deal though. Worth checking out though.

[HEyHEY]

5. I'll be going nuts looking for options

[DebJ]

19. my pawn shop model had two cd drives and a spare board...

I let my son the computer geek take them out...I don't need them. Also had speakers and a printer.

[2Design]

2. can't you use libraries

[HEyHEY]

3. Well, maybe.... I don't know

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Or cybercafés?

[HEyHEY]

6. Then I gotta pay money - money that could go to a computer

[Kilroy003]

16. If you're close to MN,

I have like 5 old computers. You can have one if you want. I'm not sure if I have a monitor though.

[HEyHEY]

20. thanks- but I'm gonna by a new one

With a flame job!

[Kilroy003]

44. Cool.

[Misunderestimator]

7. Get one cheap on E-bay... if it's just to surf the internet...

you can get one for less than $100.

[HEyHEY]

9. I want to steal music too

[Misunderestimator]

11. Still cheap... as long as you don't play computer games

and don't need lots of bells and whistles. Disk space is pretty cheap these days.

[HEyHEY]

Well, I wanna get

A few programs...no games though

[redqueen]

8. Thanks for the notice

sniff, sniff

[HEyHEY]

12. No prob - I figured I give it today

So I have time to explain it to people instead of people just wondering where the hell I went

[Jackpine Radical]

15. We'll miss ya if ya leave, even for a little while.

We're kinda short of goofy Canucks on this board, hey.

[HEyHEY]

17. You still have CanuckAmok- but he's more ugly than goofy

[Jackpine Radical]

39. And whatever happened to Canuckistanian?

I love that name.

We also have Lisa, but she's just wonderful & smart, so she doesn't count on this list.

[Book Lover]

10. I know folks are making plans for you to buy a computer

but just to be contrary I suggest you go with this one, and stay offline for a month or two. Why not? Be the one who comes back with a fresh perpective!

[SOteric]

13. Look here...

[achtung_circus]

14. BC libraries are full of computers

Even the booming metropolis of Grand Forks. You generally are limited to an hour and probably have to book in advance, but you can still stay current.

[HEyHEY]

18. Oh I'll probably manage to be on at least once a week

[MichaelHarris]

21. your not too far from me

I'll put you one together, may be only a 700mhz if your interested. The price will be right. Free.

[HEyHEY]

Nah, that's cool man

I couldn't impose on you for that.

However, if you build them I'd buy one from you

[MichaelHarris]

24. tell you what

I'll build it and you donate the money to DU or something. I have a 700mhz server in the closet doing nothing, it has windows 2000 server on it. If we ship it without a case and power supply it would be cheap along with a hard drive and cd drive of course. putting all that in a case is real easy. I don't know what the case prices are in Canada but here you can get one for like 40 bucks. I can put whatever OS you like on it. Just think about it and let me know.

[HEyHEY]

25. Check your PM

[bigwillq]

22. I'm going to miss you HEyHEy

Best of luck to you.

[HEyHEY]

23. Same to you - hopefully I'll be back on in a bit - but we still got two

weeks so let's have fun!

[bigwillq]

41. I'm always up for having fun!

What should we do?

[jukes]

26. we'll miss you, bro

hurry back.

[HEyHEY]

27. I shall!

[nutsnberries]

28. I'm really looking forward to the day that your polar bears are back!

Seriously!

I keep wondering how long before those cuties are back here to warm my heart.

...and the spanky hippo too.

[HEyHEY]

29. yeah WTF?

[JVS]

30. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

:-)

[HEyHEY]

33. Ack - you've been waiting for this day!

No you've no competition for top smart ass goof-off....enjoy the title, cause I'll be back!

[Biased Liberal Media]

31. Awww well I always read your posts

[HEyHEY]

[belladonna]

35. But... but..

What about that orgy we were all planning? :cry:

[HEyHEY]

36. Hey, I'll save for that too!

3 gallons of KY isn't that much

[Wat_Tyler]

38. I've got a spare monitor you can have.

I mean, it's crap, which is why it's a spare, but it's there.
I could even throw in an old keyboard.

[supernova]

40. You better get a box at home!

:grr: HOw can I do without my daily dose of HEyHEY? :cry:

[HEyHEY]

42. Oh I'm sure you'll manage!

[SarahB]

43. That bites!

:(
Actually, another job in the works for me- teaching little ones again- no time for the internets even if I wanted to, but thank goodness for my home one.

[Tom Kitten]

45. well that's a drag!

I hope everybody else doesn't leave too! Hurry back soon, I'll miss the bears and your pithy comments!
