I won't be, Alex.
 
I have felt the same recently, but we can't leave because of dullards.
 
I have started posting less, because fighting the poor wretches can seem a little tiresome.
 
Just laugh at them.  Some of the people on here who used to wind me up now provide my daily comedy.
 
You know Sonar is working for you, so take pleasure in their misery.  PM people if you have good help for them and stupid people argue with your advice.
 
Now just watch as they all turn up to air their ignorance in public.. (sits back with popcorn..)

Some nicely reasoned constructive points of debate you added there...  You're obviously way above all the other 'poopy-panted' types you seem to refer to in your post.
 
Hey, JB101 I love that original "Admittedly, it is difficult to reason people out of positions they didn't use reason to attain." quote in your sig.  What did you use to attain it.  Irony?
 
Sounds like some bit of reworked and cliched wisdom that Anderson fella would have come out with.  Only a shameless bum-nuzzling sycophant would adopt that as a signature surely?
 
But then in your eyes I probably have 'poopy-pants' anyway.
 

 
Gotta love it here who would want to leave?

Charming.  Thanks for posting.

To the OP.

If you go can I have your post count?

That's all that matters (not) to me.

EEPROM

The problem isn't with the firmware once it's there ... it's getting it to the EEPROM that's the problem.

That's not the chip's fault, it's the connection between where the software comes from and the EEPROM itself.

It's not like you can pop it out, slap it in a dedicated chip burner, and pop it back in your PC.

I've dealt with a lot of EEPROM's in my point of sales repair days. Some of those old Panasonic units had sets of 6 and 10, and it was not uncommon for them to go bad. Those little receipts you get inside your McDonald's lunch bag ... all come from a tiny little printer that is run by an EEPROM chip with system specific proprietary firmware in it.

You have to burn them, test them, retest them, make sure you had the right installation software to match the firmware update ... it's a nightmare unless you do it all day long.

So, yeah, the chip itself is quite stable all things considered.

Hi Alex...

I hope you don't "leave"... It is never easy getting along with everyone let alone as diverse a group as we get in public forums... and often it can be hard. But as you know it's also very rewarding... Both in the feeling of hearing the success of someone you've helped, or received help from someone else...

We all find ourselves in both positions at times...

...and then there's the fact that as artists, we do lean very hard to being very opinionated even when trying not to be! ;-)

Personally I do my best to ignore people who aren't here about the music and I do my best to tolerate the many attitudes and moods of the participants... A user can post anything they like (moderator justified) and I can simply ignore it and continue with my thread if I so choose...

There are many here who disagree with me or have done so in the past (and future? ;-))... and as long as I believe that they are sincere, I can accept that. We don't all think alike or often not even close!

So again I ask... Please sit back... Maybe take a day or two off... and return to us with exuberance as you always have...

Thanks...
Keni

That's like a Gertrude Stein sentence Jonbouy. You should edit it for clarity

That's like a Gertrude Stein sentence Jonbouy. You should edit it for clarity 

Should it merely evoke the name of Stein then no part should be disturbed for the effect of legibility or rigid comprehension rather it should just be recited for the pure enjoyment brought about by the readers own ululations.
 
Unless of course there is an extra there there.
