Christmas present question
 

My sister usually buys me something and mails it to me for Christmas. This
year I was low on suggestions and only asked for blue jeans and/or socks so
far.

Now I will attempt to convince her that the best, safest way to ship a pair
of blue jeans is to wrap them around a new laptop, the more RAM and the
bigger the HD the better. Can you think of any convincing supporting
arguments for this suggestion?

TIA

I've found that cash (paper currency, not coin) is a much better
packing material for your pants -- or any other item she opts
to send you.

She should keep in mind that most carriers suggest a TWO INCH THICK
"buffer" around the item you are shipping to ensure no breakage in
transit. Some folks claim higher denomination bills have greater
cushioning effect than lower denominated one -- caveat emptor.

If she suggest the socks might be an acceptable "buffer"/cushion,
remind her that the socks are the item that she wants to PROTECT!
Shirley she wouldn't want to risk DAMAGING THEM by using THEM
for protection! Sheesh!

More RAM and biggest hard drive? What if it has anemic cpu and pity
graphics controller and if battery life is not that good? All our
laptops in the family has Quad i7 cpu, Nvidia GTX series graphics card,
at least 16 GB memory, some with SSD. But iPAD is being used more and
more. I never saw laptops damaged shipped in original packaging.

I have a couple of XP laptops I had to hang onto because the software needed to access the serial console on some network and phone systems will only run on XP. The XP laptops also have serial ports that my newer Vista and Win7 laptops don't have. Yea I know, USB to serial converters but the software doesn't run on the newer machines. It would be too much fraking around to get the software to run with an emulator and a USB to serial converter. Sometimes it's good to hang onto old things, I guess that's why I'm still around. (ヅ)

You darn sure know what S stands for in USB.... serial service is hidden
on newer Windows. You can enable it. One example is TFTP server.
Matter of using right driver which are out there. Ever used Putty?

I love to screw around with my computer toys but I had to be able to send one of the guys (non computer geek) I work with out to a jobsite to hook a laptop up to a VoIP system so tech support from the manufacturer could access the system via The Internet. He knows how to plug cables in and has a limited understanding of Win XP so I had to be able to talk him through setting the thing up. I got on the phone with him a few nights ago to help him get his home office XP computer to print. I now have to call him back and talk him through enabling that particular printer. I can visualize XP in my head because I've worked with it so much that I'm able to talk him through enabling various features in XP. It would be impossible to explain PuTTY to him so I must have the simplest plug and play gear for servicing routers, phone systems and energy management systems which use the RS-232 protocol as the means to access the control panel. When I was still working out in the field several years ago, I noticed that the new Cisco gear had a mini USB port next to the RS-232 serial port used to access the console. The USB connection would be even easier for my buddy to plug a laptop into and access the Cisco box. —‰€¿—‰

Hell, I was at 385 at one time then I cut the liquid sugar and dropped 100. In 2013 I was down to 235 then went to 250 for a year but since I've been here at the center I gained 30 and am now 280. The food here is really good but if I get more active, I'll get back to 250. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Yes it is Uncle M....at 66, I hope to be around a little longer, so I'm
losing the extra 60 pounds I added when I retired. At 200, I will see
70...I hope. :D

Hmmm,
You're junior to me by 10 years, LOL! I am hoping to see 90 so I can
watch only grand son goes to college, god willin,g attend to his
wedding...I wish. I am steady at around 165 always. almost 6 feet.

My MIL turned 90 this year and is doing quite well.

I was 180 in six grade, 145 at 18, 220 at 25 through 40, then jumped to
240 to 46, now a steady 260 at 66. Funny that I am the healthiest
between 3 brothers, Father and Mother, and I'm the only one alive now.

70...I hope. :D

Hell, I was at 385 at one time then I cut the liquid sugar and dropped 100.
In 2013 I was down to 235 then went to 250 for a year but since I've been
here at the center I gained 30 and am now 280. The food here is really good
but if I get more active, I'll get back to 250. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Yeahbut you have a heavy weight personality Uncle M... ^^

I don't consider myself to be obese because I have no beer gut or man boobs. I don't need a mirror to see Mr.Happy either. I look straight down and can see where he's hiding because there's no belly blocking my view. (—¦'Œ£'—¦)

Now I will attempt to convince her that the best, safest way to ship
a pair of blue jeans is to wrap them around a new laptop, the more
RAM and the bigger the HD the better. Can you think of any
convincing supporting arguments for this suggestion?

TIA

Got a XP laptop you can have for $50.00.... :')

I have a couple of XP laptops I had to hang onto because the software
needed to access the serial console on some network and phone systems
will only run on XP. The XP laptops also have serial ports that my
newer Vista and Win7 laptops don't have. Yea I know, USB to serial
converters but the software doesn't run on the newer machines. It
would be too much fraking around to get the software to run with an
emulator and a USB to serial converter. Sometimes it's good to hang
onto old things, I guess that's why I'm still around. (ヅ)

Yes it is Uncle M....at 66, I hope to be around a little longer, so I'm
losing the extra 60 pounds I added when I retired. At 200, I will see
70...I hope. :D

Hmmm,
You're junior to me by 10 years, LOL! I am hoping to see 90 so I can
watch only grand son goes to college, god willin,g attend to his
wedding...I wish. I am steady at around 165 always. almost 6 feet.

My MIL turned 90 this year and is doing quite well.

That's great! How does She feel?

She has her aches and pains, but doing OK.

My Ina made it to 88, and My Unci made 107. My Ate checked out at 58,
and I'm the last of three at 66.
I better eat more wheaties, eh?
