Dominic, I can't believe it, Roy is already upgraded to a 2008 model. This man is got me out dated by 9 years.

Hell, I am still running 2000 professional on the same computer I started with.

I might need your help when this thing dies and goes to heaven.

I heard you can't by XP, does that mean I will have to get Vista?

Well Roy, I guess we have to face it one of these days, right.

Never to old for one to learn is what my father always told me, but he had no clue or vision of the computer age.

Hey, if it works, don't fix it, right?



For my friend.

Marcel, Windows 2000!! Ack!! Actually Windows 2000 was a pretty stable version of windows but man, what are you using for inspections? You might get upgraded out at some point. You can still pick up XP cd's from places it's just harder to find. Vista's not all that bad. If you need help picking out a new model at a good price, just let me know, I'll find something for you!

Sure, Roy upgraded to a 2008 model, but I think he's still doing his reports on paper! I think I'm going to go out and buy a new Porche but ride my bike to work tomorrow, hehehehe.

Great idea you will find the odds of have an accident are vastly improved by keeping the car in the Garage.

Just like my using the check list reporting system over my trying to do a computer report less likely to be sued.

I guess I will stay with a winner.

Haha, very very true. Who was it that posted the picture of the Ferrari that the daughter took out for a joy ride, nothing left of it.

Personally I think Roy upgraded because he wanted to start doing some major gaming.

Appreciate the offer Dominic, and my little time I spend Inspecting was all invented by me on the Word program, made a template, improvised and finally came up with a click to open the template and fill in the Narratives.

Since I could not make or post pictures like all your fancy guys photo inserts, I simply gave reference in the report to a number of the photo and in the back of a loose leaf binder that becomes the Clients report with a front cover of their home to buy, I insert 30-40 photos 4"x5" full color from Rite-Aid Pharmacy for 15 bucks.

The photos are set in separate laminations and a mini sharpie, works wonders at making numbers on the photo and making arrows.

Sure saves me time, but last inspection was for a friend of my daughters and only do selective inspections like this.

Inspection time for a 1200s.f. house plan with finisned basement= 24 went for 3 hours and 4 hours for my report time and charged $300.

The client was impressed with my report. Time will sell.

I do have a few more years of building, so I just started getting ready a little early.

I appreciate your help and all the help that I have seen you give to all our members as well.

Appreciation taken in order.

I congratulate you in all you have done for this Association.

Marcel

I didn't realize that until reading his post. I do realize all he does here and that's awesome. I just sent him an email thanking him as well.

Default Re: Do you like Windows XP

I just bought a new iMac which can run both Mac and Windows operating systems by partitioning the disc. I installed Windows XP mainly because my report writing software is only configured for XP.

So now I have the best of both worlds.
