I did serve in Viet Nam as a grunt with the 25th div. I was also in the invasion of Cambodia. I do not like it when someone claims service when they never served. If Olpal was in Viet Nam I salute him. If he was simply making a joke then he is a true jerk.

Well my lottery number (i'm sure you remember John) was 365...no joke.  So, no I didn't serve.  And you won't get any argument from me about me being a true jerk.  In fact, I'm one of the truest.  I lost two very dear friends in that war and have nothing but respect for those that did serve and apologies for the disgraceful way many were treated upon coming home.  Sorry if my humour offends you...but then you're so easily offended I can't worry too much over that.  Rock on, ol pal.  And thanks for your service.

I am not easily offended except where it concerns some few issues. One being Viet Nam. I didn't think anything of your post except it was funny when I first read it. I took you at your word on being in county. It was Danny that ask about it and got me to thinking that perhaps it was not true. We have a lot of people we encounter that claim service when they never did serve. I am not sure why people do that except to gain some respect they never earned. Unfortunately there is no law prohibiting false claims of service as long as no money is exchanged. Then it becomes fraud.  

Your remarks were not earth shattering or a big deal to me. But it did leave a false impression about what you did or didn't do. If Danny had not asked it would have been left alone and you may have been thought to have served. I don't think that was ever your intention. 

Really I don't care much about people that make thoughtless comments about service yet because we have a new generation that have seen awful things and had to endure long separations from their families, I will not let what happen to the Viet Nam vets happen to these new vets. We need to be welcoming to them with open arms and at all opportunities thank them for what they have done for all of us.  

That is the very least one who never served could do.

Hi John,
 
I'm very sorry for disrupting the thread in asking about yorolpal's service. I didn't mean to detract our readers from praising Jim, so I'm sorry for taking things a bit off the path. I just go out of my way to thank anyone in the service for all that they've done for us any time I see a topic or see a person in uniform. I've bought drinks in bars for them, hugged them, paid for their meals silently when eating out while just telling the waiter...."tell them a very thankful US citizen paid for their dinner" and I walk out. I just really respect them and always have to say a little something. That said, accept my apology for anything I may have said that took the thread off course...and thank you and tom 1 for your service past and present. It is greatly appreciated fella's....from the heart. :)
 
Now, back to that Jim guy....I love you man!!! (in a non-gay way fo course!) :)

If anyone is to blame it is me for taking this thread off topic. For that I am sorry. You Danny have nothing to be sorry about at all.

I highly recommend Jim's machines as well! Great guy to work with along with knowing what it takes to build a great machine without breaking the bank. When he built my DAW last year, I had priced and repriced everything to do it myself. Jim's price tag was close to what I was going to spend, it became a no-brainer decision. ...Build an average performing machine and hope it fits my needs or let a professional build me a stellar machine for a fair margin. Easy choice.

Thanks Jim, count on me as a return customer.

plus one, Music Room!
 
you're describing my experience, as well. i've built all my own machines for the last 15 years. 
 
anyone can buy all the parts - but the years of experience testing and troubleshooting hw &sw compatibility is priceless.
 
a no brainer, indeed.

You guys are so freekin' dramatic ; ) ...It's all good!!
 
FWIW, I come from a LONG line of vets here, man...though, I've never served.
 
Although, if I ever HAVE to serve, I'm taking my Studio Cat!!!!!!!...LOL
 
Cheers!

Well, personally I've always thought that Scott and Jim should have to leg wrestle and the loser has to build CJ a new computer, gratis.  Tho they might prefer Rubiks Cubes at 100 paces.  But here's the twist.  No matter how powerful a box they build him...it's got to have a Soundblaster card.

:-)

I like your style old pal!


Maybe a contest?
