    Back in 2001 to 2002 at my dotcom company went bust, I applied about 1,000 and only got about 10/ten interviews in Southern, CA. :(

    This is why I hate going out these days because I also have disabilities (born with them). Younglings are bad, but adults are worse. I prefer to be online to socalize since people can't see me like right now.

    Ha, like I am going trust computers especially my decades with computers including QA testings. My IRC AI bots can't even communicate correctly from the (record/logg)ed conversations. LOL!

  10. Re:I guess I'm just a bad consumer on Ask Slashdot: Top Black Friday Tech Picks? · · Score: 1

    Same here even though I have very old stuff like my 19.5" Sharp CRT TV, VCR (not for recording, but interfacing between my desktop PCs, DTV Pal DVR, TV, etc.), Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, Windows XP Pro. SP3, KVM from Y2K, analog 2.1 speakers, etc. I don't have cable and satellite TV services, but do use Internet and over the air (OTA). I don't even own a mobile phone. I am simple and old school. I will upgrade/replace when it is time. :)

  13. Re:Good news for all us have-nots!!! on Nasdaq 4000 — This Time It's Different? · · Score: 1

    People think I am crazy for not spending money. I am a consumer who keeps using old stuff (19.5" Sharp CRT TV from 1996, VCR from my dotcom days (not for recording, but interfacing between TV, computers, and Dish PalTV DVR), Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, analog bone conduction hearing aid, Windows XP Pro. SP3, etc.) until they break/die. I don't like to change/upgrade so often especially when they work fine for me. I also buy the older models to save money and get stability. I watch TV OTA (over the air) with my antenna often and movies rarely. Internet is a must, but I don't get the fastest because I never max out the speeds and don't want to get jealous when speeds get slow. :P Rest of the money goes to bills (e.g., medical bills like Kaiser for over 700 bucks a month!), savings, donations/charities, family, etc. :(
