Best buy said they gave my laptop to UPS and UPS says they never got it. And on Best buy's website last night says... :facepalm:

Better get on it.
On it. Best Buy said they will send out another one and it will be here tomorrow on the phone. But after their website updated and it shows shipped, it now says Tuesday delivery and not Saturday. I guess you got to take what they say with a grain of salt. :facepalm:

Don't ya just love it when:
You order somthing reasonably small enough to be shipped for cheap.
But the seller wants to ship even cheaper so they ship ground FedEx and hand it off to USPS at the end for delivery.
So then then seller waits 4 days after payment so the package only makes it most of the way by the weekend.
Then it sits for the weekend with FedEx waiting for Monday to start moving again. I would just as soon pay the 50 cents saved. 10 days from Dallas Texas....I should have just ordered from China. Over

So Wayneo planted a bug so I decided to build my Kryten using a couple SS430 Claptons from AVS. I'm running them in wattage mode with Replay enabled at 80 watts with full boost. While not my style it works pretty darned good. Also I brought out a mechanical combo deal from Finland that I can't remember the name of and vaped that for a while then cleaned it up and put it away.
Having some type of dry hit protection more than just interests me, I'm just to use too TC.
Here's a picture of the Finnish Hybrid mod that I still can't find the name of, anyone know what it is?

The container of coils arrived a few days ago @cigatron, very much appreciated!! :thumbs:

So far I have a pair in an Aromamizer Plus, one in a B2K, one in the Hadaly and will be popping a pair into the Aequitas for some 0.12Ω love on the Furyan. :toast: :vapor: :toast:

Wow, that package took 5 minutes short of forever to get there. Glad you are enjoying them.

Those SS 430 26g/36g, 3mm, 4 wrap fused claptons were a little too hot for me on my Hadaly. You could rewrap them 5 wraps on 2.5mm?

Edit: Now that I'm thinking about it I think I settled on 430 SS 28g/36g, 2.5mm, 5 wrap fused claptons for the Hadaly.

$489.99 at the end of the list here from E&M Express.
Yes I see that one as number 6, but number 7 is a Walmart store over an hour away from me. I guess only local people might see it. But that laptop goes for like $650 at Best Buy and at Walmart, etc. Those other sellers are selling it for just under $500. But that last one I see at a Walmart store was unbelievable at $199. I called them and they said they don't have anything like that at their store.

If you still run ancient systems (95, 98, ME) then you can get a driver to read NTFS, otherwise everything Win2K on can read/write NTFS.
NTFS for Win98 - Overview | PARAGON Software Group - partition freeware, copy or move partitions

exFAT would be better on a removable drive that you could plug into just about anything.
Thanks. I reformatted that first partition to exFAT and XP still couldn't see it. Then I deleted that partition and I was hoping XP would see the empty 2TB space and format it. But no, I guess that second partition being NTFS prevents XP from doing anything with the drive.

I did run DISKPART from XP and it does have a column for GPT, but it couldn't see the drive anyway, so it doesn't show that drive. Zentimo (a fancy USB utility) does see the controller under XP (so I can safely remove it), but it also does not see the disk itself.

And thanks about Paragon. Yes I have used their software for years. ;)
