My post was meant to inject some humor. Notice the name and the list, an impossible list at that. Those who know me here also know that I have a penchant for silliness and poking fun at things. If it offended you I apologize, it was not meant to be so. Ask DoorTech1....he once called me the wise-cracking stepchild of the forums. To me Kona you are a kind of inspiration, a person willing to overcome hardship and remain connected with those you care about and the things that are important to you in life. Starkers will say I'm a nut job and others too may have a handle for me though I remain blissfully ignorant of such things. Even ask DaveBax, he'll probably tell you I'm a couple of sandawiches sort of a pickanick. Be well my friend.

Thanks. I haven't been feeling well lately. I hope things get better. I feel OK physically, just these things I deal with in my head take a big toll on me day in and day out. It has a big effect on not only me but those around me. Thanks for understanding, not many on this site do. Some think I am full of it.

Starkers, any word on the operating system for the new setup?

Yes I know. Yet I would like to have everything lined up so everything falls into place smoothly. Just planning things out my friend.

I know, I was a kid in a candy store before too! Your okay man, just pokin fun like Uvah taught me.I bet this next week takes like three months!Do not envy you there, hated waiting for anything as a kid and still do,Later bud.

No worries on the waiting part. It's all good. I have plenty of things to do to keep me busy. I need to reorganize my documents and music. Bike riding. Chores. I'll be fine.

Thank you Jaroepz, that is nice of you.

Sorry, RedneckDude certainly did not mean to forget to include you...in the friggin awesome comment

thank you very much

Sorry, but today [Monday] was not a productive day for me.  As a result of pain and insomnia, I was up from Saturday morning 'til I was dead on my feet in the early hours of Monday morning, meaning that when Microsoft in Sydney was open to receive my inquiry about the purchase, I was in bed snoring my head off.  I've not had the best time of it when it comes to sleep, either, but I will make the effort to get that sorted out today [Tuesday] for you.

Yes, that might yet be necessary.  If Microsoft Sydney cannot help me to make the purchase for kona's region then I'm going to have to come up with another way, and that could well be the answer. I just didn't think it would be that difficult to gift Win 8 to someone in a different region, but that's the way it is,  It's like I said to the MS rep the other day: "You can't want my money that badly if you're putting obstacles in my way.

Being that I slept all day yesterday, I didn't manage to sort out my account issues I mentioned to you regarding Paypal, either, but once I have I'll be able to transfer the funds directly to kona so that he can make the purchase with the MS store in the US.  Now that would be the better way as it would be direct and there'd be no time delay, but if I have to resort to a 3rd party method for whatever reason, then I will contact you by PM to see what we can arrange.

Now kona, please don't worry, I will get you Windows 8 for sure. I wouldn't make you an offer not to follow through on it, so it will happen once I've made the necessary arrangements, okay.

Um, I wouldn't have been able to contribute or help kona without your continued help and support in my life, so yeah, you contributed.

The best RnD!

I still want to give Kona Win 7. Maybe he can dual boot. Its the Pro version so he gets all the bells and whistles.
