Im glad UR LOSN posted because I forgot something extremely critical to this write up, the credit for the help I got.
First goes to Reptile. Reptile was an amazing help with information direct from the horses mouth so to speak. I bugged him for what seemed all day about specs and parts and if not for his patience and willing to help I dont think I would have been able to start.
Second goes to UR LOSN. I dont know what all to say about him that would truly compliment all the help he provided. He was online with me WHILE I was doing the work keeping me confident I could get all this done. I was in sorta panic mode because it was the last day I had to get this done, it was freezing cold outside and I was super concerned that if I didnt have all the tools or supplies I was going to be dead because the next day was 01.01.2008 and little would be open.
He did a lot of reassuring and confidence building I will tell you that.
Without either of their help I would have not been able to get this done and both truly represent the infectious enthusiasm I have spoke about here before. UR LOSN was on line with me until dang near midnight as I recall. I cannot thank both of them enough to say nothing of all the suggestions and community help I got in the thread I started about the original issue and everyone that posted there trying to help out.
THIS people, is what a community is about and should be like. Not about who has mad skills, the most mods, the fastest time. Nope, its about one another. Its about what we can individually sacrifice to the community as a whole to get people to those mad skills, mods and fast times. Indeed, self-sacrifice would sum it up nicely and Reptile and UR LOSN certainly did their fair share to ensure this task would be successful.
