Exactly what's your point... that $75 isn't a lot to spend for a computer? I agree with that. And certainly part of the reason why I wrote: If @Scataphagos weren't a half-wit punter he'd have what's called foresight and the cold spare would be in his cupboard. Instead he's waiting for it to be delivered via eBay. Hell, some of us even run geographically distributed clusters that can either switchover and/or failover... depending on circumstances Here's a nickel @Scataphagos, go ahead and set up heartbeat for yourself. Of course, by blocking me he's preordained any advice or knowledge I offer is useless. Lol, oh well!
I get it, you just funnin and bustin his chops. He's seen it before so no hill for a climber there. Still and all why would he hangdog himself with woulda coulda shoulda and defy the law of diminishing returns by sinking even more time into the reality of the situation? He just grabbed the nearest box offa ebay. He'll likely hook her up and motor on.
Yeah, he should've framed it like that and let my trash talk slide off his shoulders... but he got offended and then needed to shoot the messenger instead. Whenever that happens it's a sure sign that you're off your game. If you can't take a little trash talk, how on earth are you going to survive volatile markets with big money on the line? I said it somewhere else on this board too... Kobe didn't flinch. But amateur punters will, so he's still got some growing to do IMHO. That's the overarching point.
