I am facebook and former highschool friends with a curator at the museum of computer history. the museum is located in the former Silicon Graphics building in Mountain View. I used to live about 3 minutes from it.

And this is why I want to give out a litmus test to anyone that buys a MS from me:

Stoly decided to put a MS2 PNP in and ditch the DIY MS2.

I am not going to get in the middle of the argument. Just reporting our experience and the owner's request. Stoly's part and I completely understand his frustration when he is paying someone to fix a problem on something that should work out of the box.

His decision to burn it is extreme but also friggin' bad ***.

Cant get your aftermarket vTPS working on a 90-93 install? Burn it.

Apparently TDR couldn't get the vTPS to work with the DIYPNP i built. So instead of contacting me to figure it out, he decided to say my work is shitty, burn it, and buy a MSPNP2.

zero ***** were given on my end; I got paid. I just don't like that he called my work shitty when he hasn't a clue.

I once threw a dl980 g2 off the roof of the office buiilding my employee was consulting at.

Ten stories, it made a verrry big hole in the grass. We had to dig it out so we could throw it in the river. LNT!!!

I posted like three times on CR.net for the first time in probably a year and made it to someone's signature, lol:

"Someone" spoke to me about getting this car running and dyno tuning it. His shitty attitude now precludes me from helping out and making $200. The last thing is some ------ like that calling me at 3am on the coldest day of the year complaining about the car stumbling on ASE with 20* water temps, then talking **** about me on the internet.

Was that comment hinting at this forum being an "alpha club"?

I love how TDR's reaction was not to ask questions, but to throw it out and start over. Wow.
