New Computer for Christmas

December 18, 2011 by Leave a Comment

christmas computerWell, I’m in 7th heaven….that means I am extremely happy! I got a new computer for Christmas this year.

I might mention that Christmas is one of the perfect times for picking up a new computer because of all the sales….check out Best Buy, Staples and other electronic stores for some of the best deals of the year. The only other time you can find good deals on computers are the back to school days.

Actually, an oak tree fell on our garage. The insurance company paid out some money, things turned ugly so we probably won’t be building the nice new garage we planned because State Farm Insurance are a bunch of lying scoundrels. They tell you anything to get your cash and make a claim and your rates go up and they change their minds in the middle of processing the claim.

Anyway, I’ve been working with 2 old….real old computers. A dell that’s about 8 years old and a Gateway that’s probably at least 5 years old. All run XP….I know you thought they were running Windows 95 :)

I completely reformatted both computers and they still run like crap.

Anyway, I got a new i5 processor in an HP computer with 8 GB of ram and 1.5 TB of disk space….. and man oh man this thing is blazing fast.

I’m a little scared because all my apps ran on XP and this thing is Windows 7 ….but, I’ll keep the other 2 working until I absolutely have to retire one or both.

Maybe this will be the year I make the big bucks as an Internet Marketer…..think? :)

Anyway…..it’s so nice to have a new tool. You can’t get a job done properly without the proper tools, as internet marketers we need to have the proper tools.

My next purchase will be a decent laptop so I can go door to door selling offline marketing. I build offline portals and sell space in the portals… sometimes give space away but I need a decent computer that can show what the portal looks like, what their ad would look like without the computer locking up of searching for 5 minutes trying to pull in my website.

Well, my garage won’t get built… but I’ll have a nice computer. Maybe this will be the year I make the extra money we need to put an extra 2000 square feet to our house. Big enough for the entire family to congregate at…grandkids maybe? :)

I don’t know how busy this week will be but I wanted to wish all a Merry Christmas and to remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season!!!!

Motivated Marketing System 2.0

November 25, 2007 by 1 Comment

I received an email from Phill Coxon regarding upgrading or the new version of Motivated Marketing System 2.0 which started with:

First I want to apologize that I haven’t been in touch with
any updates re: Motivated Marketing System 2.0 in a long
time.

First I want to sincerely “Thank You” for your efforts in resurrecting MMS and I anxiously wait for your finished product.

He discusses the progress of the upgrade or rebuild for Motivated Marketing System and I wish him much success. As for me, I was anxious to get the program up and working with the initial roll out and much to my chagrin the previous owner sucked at supporting and providing any fixes. I think his name was Eric and basically he just rolled out a product, doing a big product launch will all kinds of promises….the program never really worked and he ended up blaming his programmer.

I really don’t know how these scam artists get away with this. They promise the stars and you get nothing. I’m college educated and built a very large construction company, made a lot of money but unfortunately lost more :( I only mention this because if my company provided a service and I used a subcontractor but the guy screwed up…..I had to pay for another guy to get it right. Afterall it was my responsibility. Anyone with any morals and/or ethics would assume responsibility.

So in my eyes, if I put a roof on your house and it leaks…no matter who performed the task, its my responsibility….you paid me….so I must rectify the situation. How would you feel if I said,

Well, sorry for the leaks but my subcontractor did that and I just can’t get him to fix it…you’re on your own.

That’s in essence what this guy Eric did and by the grace of God….Phill Coxon has taken the project over. He’s kept in contact over the past year or so and it appears as though he has his hands full. What’s more I believe he has agreed to provide any upgrades for free and it looks like he has 100’s of hours to invest in the project.

For what it’s worth Phil….I really appreciate your efforts and I’m anxious to see what you end up with. If you need any graphics, let me know, I’ll provide them for free. And to answer your email, “do what you think is best, if a completely new rebuild is necessary and you’re willing to do it….well, I’d be willing to wait and extremely grateful.

Finally, please accept my well wishes for your father and your family. I’ll keep your father in my Prayers. Hope in God, “with God all things are possible”.

Wishing you only the best,

Scott
