Hey, Grrr, if you read these boards from time to time, post and let us know if you were caught up in the floods. I kinda recall you lived in Calgary, but that may be wrong. :)
Well.... I'll give you a heads up, but it looks like this site gets used even less than the first two we had.
I am indeed in Ottawa, so no worry about floods.
I was happily back and playing in Jan and Feb... after I got a new used monitor from my brother-in-law after my other one died.
Until one day in the middle of february I decided it was time to reboot the old pc. After failing and trying to start up 3 times, I actually watched as my power supply literally fried before my eyes.
Since I left my dead-end, crap job 5 years ago, it's been quite the roller coaster.
So financially, things have been tight the last year, to the point I can't afford a new pc. Yeah, I could get a new power supply cheaper, but I WAS expecting that I would be able to afford a new pc when my tax return came in and saw no point in investing any money fixing up a pc that I desperately needed to replace anyway.
Unfortunately, the company I was working for had finished the job I was working on and haven't been able to acquire any new contracts. I was laid off end of May. I had expectations that I would return to work with them, but it has not yet come to pass, so the time to look for other work is at hand.
I would have posted something here sooner, but I did not know the website address off-hand. But today (Sept 23) I received an email from Blizz giving me a 7 day free trial to return. I decided to see if this laptop could even run WoW (which I had discounted back in February). 'Lo and behold, it can... sort of. I doubt it could handle a raid... probably not even an instance.
But I was able to get the address, pop in, and post this to update you guys.
I'm dying to get back, and it WILL comes to pass at some point. I just hope DS keeps on keeping on till I can return permanently.
Anyway, you will probably see me in game the next few days.

Grrr - it's not just a name, it's an attitude!
That is a bummer about your economic situation.
And grr, it's like creepy ESP. It has been awhile since I was on here, and what are the odds it would be right after a post?
