I had to close my PayPal account last week. They helped themselves to $99.00 and wouldn't give it back.

I don't have anything better to do at the moment, so I'm going to nitpick on something minor.

I have these keys to gift, @Norton

neatfeatguy · Jul 19, 2018

Keeping this thread in the minds of folks, things are coming down the pipe!

I've got one, maybe two things I'll contribute to small item giveaways that folks could also have a chance at winning. I've got a new in box, ASUS USB-AC55 wifi adapter (not at home to snap an actual pic of mine, but found this image online of what the package looks like) that I am giving out - @Norton knows about it already.

I'm contemplating on also adding in the Google WiFi 3-pack for another giveaway item. It works well for just a basic wifi router, but doesn't handle what I need without causing me issues. If you are someone or know someone that just needs a solid and simple wifi router, it will work great. I can't use it because the software is very closed off and it causes problems with my needs: it doesn't allow my plex server to access the internet and it also has issues with connecting a hub/switch while being setup with its mesh wifi network. If you need or want great control over settings on the router or have a need for more than 1 wired connection, it's not for you. If you just want a good wifi router and solely rely on wifi, this would work great.

If there's interest in it, I can also offer it for a giveaway item.
(again, not at home, but this is what the box looks like)

My guess is @Norton has been busy with personal life and work. Something like this giveaway gets pushed to the back burner at times, unfortunately. Hopefully all is well on everyone's end and things will eventually get back on track in due time. Though it never hurts to ask questions

My main curiosity is if @BarbaricSoul had a chance to see about cobbling together the old school build.....it's been a nagging thought in my mind for a while now.

RealNeil · Aug 1, 2018

I'm sure that it will happen as soon as possible.

Honestly, I haven't done anything with it. It's just sitting here in boxes still waiting for our next giveaway.

Time went slow, stopped.

That's a free bump for Kreij's memorial.

RealNeil · Aug 16, 2018

Knowing Norton and his dedication to this twice-yearly endeavor, there has to be a good reason for the wait. I don't mind at all.
Whatever it is, I understand and accept it.
