Hey krim, there's an open source file recovery program I came across: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mundelete

Haven't tried this yet though.

thanks, ill give it a try when i get to work tomorrow :woot:

mundelete didn't work. :bleh:
oh well, ill have the techs try to get it later.. i just got my new machine
dual 3.0ghz 2gb of ram instead of the 1.5gb we requested.

i do hate reinstalling all our programs..

They are hard to find. Most of them are full of spywares or shareware. :usuck:

Your new PC looks nice. :metaldevil:

How much was the original price?

you dont have to quote me, im right above you :P

i bought it for $2,099 4 years ago, i actually wanted to sell it for $500, (im guessing..not knowing about the price range) but my cousin suggested i should sell it for $250 and compared to newer sales right now theres lots of laptops with higher specs that sells less than $400. idk if hes right cuz im having 2nd thoughts of selling this if its only $250 @____@ thats why i need anyone's opinion :sweat:

Sorry, force of habit. :sweat:

I think your cousin is right, you'll probably be able to sell it around that range, 300 if you get lucky, any higher than that and people would prefer buying a new notebook, since there are notebooks out there that sell for $400, especially during promos. Everything in your specs comes pretty standard with the newer models that come out, so that qouldn't be much of a plus to add to the resale value. I guess it's inevitable, technology develops so fast. :sweat: Personal experience, I bought a PIII desktop before, then 1 week after, the P4 was released. :doh: I should've checked first before I bought the darn thing. Well, that's my take on that... Makes me wonder how much I can get for my laptop that I bought last year, if I sell it a few years from now...

its coo, actually i had a final thought. id rather get rid of this cuz this laptop brings me a lot of pain and suffering :tired: id be glad to get rid of this now that i have a macbook haha :mrgreen:

so far, someone wanted to buy it for $200 so i think im just gonna sell it to him, better than nothing. eh? now if it was a mac, it woulda been a higher price but yeh thanks for being honest :victory:

I offer $201! :hehe: if you lived closer I'd have look at your notebook, I wanted one for my sis.

but yeah, computerhardware loses it's value fast. if you don't plan to resell within 1 year, it becomes pretty hard to sell for a decent price after some more years.

yeh foreal :sweat: ..im selling it for $250 still on craiglist hehe, it has pictures in there.. i got 2 emails already hmmm

i think you would do well for yourself around that price range...the built-in obscelence of technology is a pain for any resellers.

i remember one summer i had purchased a top of the line nokia color phone...by the end of the summer they had already discontinued it.

i feel ya, it happened with my sanyo too :usuck:

thanks for your input, i think im just gonna go with the flow, theres this one email he wanted to buy it for $200, he probably thinks im desperate =T while the other is ok to pay the full price

yeah technology is very annoying in that sense!

well given your realistic appraisal of the situation...it seems you'll be able to find a buyer to satisfy your expectations.

so i was bored waiting for some printouts earlier today... and i counted all the USB ports on my machine... a grand total of 15.

11 of which are free.

Wow. How many USB-powered fans, coffee mug heaters, sushi drives, lava lamps does a person need? :nut:

Little help here guys: I had a customer call in and he said his DSL is "discombobulated" From what I could tell by talking to him and checking some things, I think his modem has packed up, but I was curious, has anybody here ever been "discombobulated"??? :crazy:

i have, but it's because I had taken a Demerol. :mrgreen:
