Is that the prizes of houses i LV-area, Navada? As you can see from my latest thread, I just quit my job - and the wife and I are thinking about moving OUT of the cold Scandinavia and settle with a good pension/savings elsewhere - mainly the USA (the far East is NOT it, even for the climate). We thought about Texas, south west or east (Del Rio, San Antonio-area, Austin ditto or south of Corpus Christi) or maybe Arizona - still it's got to be warm all year and without too much risk for tornadoes, ect. Not California - even if we got family in the San Fransisco bay-area.. Don't do it, Denner. At your age (no insult intended, I am older than you) it could be too much of a culture shock. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Why don't you try Spain, many people, especially pensioners from the U.K. retire there. I'd, personally, stay right in Denmark. What a beautiful and civilized place. Just put a bit more coal on the fire during the winter. :-)

I agree with you, Pat. I just re-subscribed to a site I hadn't been to since March last year and found that most of the updates since then were sitting on my hard drive already.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by GCode: I have to comment on just the kill bill films alone. Quentin made this film as a USA homage to 1960's and 1970's (some 80's) Hong Kong and Japanese martial arts/swordsman films. Adding a his own creative twist with some excessive dialogue to make it more 'Quentin' and set in the modern era, he did everything correct in his story and camera work/effects. Essentially, the film was suppossed to be ultra violent like how most of these movies are with blood spraying everywhere which could or could not be the case i real life (but it is just like how all these films were at that time).Plus, all these films at the time were borderline corny with lots of subtle humor which he used. As a person who has seen almost every film to come out of Asia involving this style, there's no way I can say the film was bad at all. Honestly, it almost has a feel that it was directed by someone from Asia and I think that's what he was striving for. It's for a target audience, it's just too bad that the 'others' saw it and expected something different. Ah, you might have put your finger right on it. The subtleties escaped me because I have never been a martial arts fan and never watched Asian movies except for the Jackie Chan ones. :-)

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	I subscribed to ATK Natural and Hairy on an on and off basis for years since it was the only quality site to offer "hair" but ended up so disillusioned with the quality of their later material that I haven't been back in ages. They were and are one of my main reasons for constantly complaining about the monotony of most photo sets, yet (as you write) their early stuff was very, very good. When it comes to photographers I had a hate-love-hate relationship with SeanR. His earliest sets had the models with way too much make-up on, making them look like painted dolls, then he had a good period where the models looked more natural and wore some exciting stuff and last time I looked they were dressed very drably in sports gear etc. and I hated his work again. :-) The one I disliked the most was one of their most prolific photographers, Toby, Most of his sets had a pinkish tinge to them and they were never crisp enough for my taste, he shot his models in way too modest a fashion as well and his sets were repetitious. Too bad because Toby had some gorgeous women for models, but I hate artsy tricks, sets of pictures that look like screen caps (except in better quality) with only a tiny difference from one picture to the other and like my pictures flesh-colored, natural and crisp, not photo-shopped.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by Basileus: EU and US photographers have got different styles and I can't disagree with that but at the same time I don't have any prejudices against certain country. It's very hard to please everyone cause at the same time we receive numerous requests from other members about adding more US girls. You are right at some point about "more American Models, this usually means pretty unimaginative photography" but as I said it has to do with particular models and/or photographers. We're against boring and unprofessional shoots and do our best to handpick the best updates on the site and I think good content is always a good content, no matter in what country it was shot. Basil Sorry, Basil, you are right. I should not attack a particular country because there are indeed good and bad photographers to be found anywhere. So, my apologies! I am not sure if it would be kosher to mention other sites I belong to at the moment. I wish I could because then you would understand my disenchantment and moaning about the subject. I resubscribed to these sites because both made me an offer I thought I couldn't refuse and in over a week I have not downloaded a single one of their daily updates because they are so incredibly monotonous. These are all sets shot by American photographers. On the mature site, women wear the usual dark suit jackets and skirts with nothing underneath (except for the occasional thong), of course there are scenarios other than office but the same is true for all of them: a minimal amount of clothing! On the younger site, you get the ultra short Jean skirts or cut-offs with a cropped top, again nothing underneath but a thong .. so, when it comes to a set of pictures in either site you get the first page all with suit / jean skirt / cut-offs while the remaining four pages of the set feature all nude. Therefore you can imagine my delight when I found something different on your site, something that put the excitement back into browsing .. EXCEPT .. for the one American photographer I came across who pretty well did what all the others seem to do. What makes it worse with most of those other sites is that most of the genital and buttock shots are shown as truncated pieces of meat rather than as parts of a whole person. One or two shots like that would be acceptable but a never ending series of identical looking buttocks and vaginas? It's driving me over the edge, I tell you, and that's why I was so happy to find your site and so scared it might turn into something else with more American models. No offense was intended.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by Capn: I am not a fan of Toby's work either. What I dislike is the excessive use of the tight-in portrait format, especially before the model starts to strip. I wish he would zoom out landscape for a few full body shots before she starts to strip. In contrast I like Vlads work. I'm pleased you like the custom zip idea. I find it very pleasant & useful. I do hope you are going to register & post on the forum there. It definely needs more member input. I am doing my best to drum up discussion there but there aren't many folk there yet :0( Cap'n. :0) When it comes to "landscape" format we are once again on the same track, Cap'n. I wish more photographers would use less Portrait and more Landscape. I've been saying that so often that I finally promised some time ago to stop hounding webmasters about the subject. My ideal photographer would shoot everything in landscape. :-)

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by Capn: WeAreHairy has made quite a promising start. Hopefully they are picking up on this niche? Cap'n. :0) I hope so, too, Cap'n! Our webmaster has me scared by promising more American Models, this usually means pretty unimaginative photography. I realize I am generalizing but just look at Toby's (an American) work in WeAreHairy and compare it to what comes out of the Czech Republic or Russia or the Ukraine etc. and you will see what I mean. I guess for American photographers a model going "commando" seems like a hot idea but I miss those panties and bras and stockings etc. BTW, thanks for leading me, unknowingly, in the direction of custom made zips. I downloaded a couple of sets today that I would not normally have downloaded because they contained too many pictures that looked the same. Doing a bit of on-line editing is not a bad way to spend ones time. :-)

No question that Quentin Tarantino is greatly admired for the love for his craft and the skill and artistry he employs with every one of his films, that's why I expected a storm of protest over my remarks. :-) But the violence will forever keep me from being a fan. His movies are excellent by all accounts but will always be worst for me because of that factor.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by PinkPanther: I'm a pretty big fan of Tarantino - I was blown away when I saw Pulp Fiction, loved Jackie Brown, I think it was Kill Bill where he started doing that thing of putting old theater "the movie is about to start" things in front - and I just loved it because it was him telling the audience - if you were at the theaters that showed these before the movies - which I was - this movie is for you - and Kill Bill was most definitely for me. I think it's brilliant. It's filled with affection for a ton of films that I really enjoyed and gave Carradine his best role ever. That's one of the things that I like about Tarantino is that he's very un-cynical about a very cynical genre of movies - he clearly loves the performers that he casts and gives them wonderfully juicy material for them to give great performances with. Is he self-indulgent? Oh, hell yeah! But if you share his affection for the performers and material that he's dealing with, it's the kind of self-indulgence that's great to see - it's like "too much tease" in a Jules Jordan or Erik Everhard movie. On a technical level, that may be true - but if you share their affection for the performers, then the "too much" is a good thing. Another thing I like about Tarantino is the challenges that he presents himself - with Jackie Brown, the whole movie is laid out in broad strokes in the song played over the opening credits - so then it's a matter of "can he make the movie illustrate that". With Pulp Fiction, he had to make you care about characters whose mortality was so limited. With Kill Bill Part 1, he gave away the whole movie in the opening, so again it was "Could he make a movie to follow that would be worth watching?" I like the idea of artists presenting hurdles to themselves and then letting you see whether or not they can get over them. You almost persuade me, Pink Panther! :-) I can see where studying closely what a director is trying to accomplish and then see him succeed might cause a certain admiration for his skill. I really don't doubt his skill, the exaggerated violence is what gets me. I couldn't even get myself to watch all of Pulp Fiction .. I'm more for the James Bond sort of cartoon violence .. or Bruckheimers. :-)

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by turboshaft: I second that statement for about half of his films. I have to say that I thought the whole "Kill Bill" thing was waaaay overrated. Entertaining to an extent, but nothing special in my book. That and a part of me just likes pissing people off by saying "Kill Bill sucks!" :) "Kill Bill" made me cringe throughout. I kept telling myself it's just a movie, there's cameras, light, action and scripts and fake blood and actors who are very much alive after the scene has been filmed, but nothing worked! :-)

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	To me any film made by Quentin Tarantino is bad! I am aware that many adore his work but I find it too violent and would put it easily under my personal "worst movies." And talking about Bruckheimer I love his movies, I know they are low brow and despised by the critics, but they're fine with me.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	I started with photos, loved photos and must have at least 100 GB of photos on my hard drive and that's a lot, but have switched almost entirely to videos because photo sets have become so dull for me. I must hasten to say in many picture sites not in all! For an example, I just got finished turning down every new set offered at the new Aunt Judy's Special Collection over the past two days (eight sets in total) because there has been a change over the years where viewers nowadays prefer a model with as little lingerie as possible on her and every set looks like a bunch of screen caps except in better quality. There is so little excitement to the sets that ninety percent of the pictures could be removed without doing the set itself any harm. At least with DVD sites I have about 20000 scenes to pick from, even if only five percent have what I want, that's still a lot.

If any section is skimped over, I feel something is missing. Whilst not being a leg man or foot fetishist, I do think the removal of shoes & hose can be a particularly erotic part of a strip. Cap'n. :0) I agree, trouble is that with so many PUs being infatuated with teens all you get are little girls in abbreviated jean skirts and clingy tops wearing cute little cotton panties or thongs. It's that age gap again. Hardly a stocking or even a bra, for Pete's sake, to be seen. :-)

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by Drooler: Messmer, we have a lot in common. The only difference is that for me, fully nude is preferred (and no tats or such). I do hate how so many good "back" shots get ruined by having the girl put her hand on her butt and not look back at the camera. Teenrotica, for instance, was very much a habitual offender. They could only do "back" shots the way I hated them, 6 in a fucking row! And sorry I misunderstood earlier. No need to be sorry, I didn't take offense, Drooler. As a matter of fact I thought it was kinda funny. And I would be very upset if I looked at a set or video and didn't get fully nude at the end. I just demand that it be preceded by some sexy wrapping before I download it.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by badandy400: I have the same issue, I love lingerie as well. A thong and a bra do not cut for me either. I like something that is more than a few pieces of string. The way porn is now you know within 3 seconds the girl can be completely nude, and will be. This leaves no anticipation. Plus, I really enjoy the way lingerie makes a woman look. Victoria's Secret usually has some nice looking stuff around Christmas and valentines day. Thank you, thank you, badandy. I felt like a super pervert for not liking buck nekkid only! That's fine at the very end but the model should come nicely wrapped to start a set or video. Too bad Victoria's Secret shows are broadcast on one of the main networks rather than on cable. It would be nice to see some of their more daring stuff as well. And those angel's wings have got to go! :-)

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	I had no idea why Granny or BBW or even Tranny sites turned me on (the latter really caused a question re. my sexual orientation which was, thankfully quickly resolved, not that there is anything wrong with any sexual orientation if that's how you're built) until I, just this very moment, realized: It is the lingerie that appeals to me and not who wears it. In the more mainstream sites you basically get young 'uns in cotton undies or thongs (spit) who've never heard of bras or full size panties or garter belts and other nice stuff meant to adorn the human body. Help, I am afflicted with a full blown lingerie fetish! Well, could be worse, I might crave to suck on toes or wear leather or latex or stuff like that.* *Disclaimer: NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT! :-)

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Thanks, GCode, for your kind post to us and to the staff. And you were so right in your observation concerning the respectful and non-confrontational atmosphere in this forum. Strange, isn't it, that you would find so many tolerant folks among Porn Users while the rest of the Internet thrives on flames and rudeness? Or maybe not so strange. It is my theory that by being exposed, on a regular basis, to so many ways human sexuality expresses itself gives us the mind set to become more accepting of different life styles and opinions. Maybe we should encourage all of our politicians and radio talk show hosts to immerse themselves in our "perv" world for a while. :-) messmer (so delighted that you joined us 6+ months ago)

Thank God that previews of the scenes are available at most sites like VideoBox and Videosz to save unnecessary downloads. I've always marveled at the same thing, the cover promises one thing the content is the usual mind numbing twenty minutes of uninterrupted sex. Even in my favorite niche, lingerie, the models usually start out almost naked, with a thong being the "lingerie" part. :-) Keep ranting, you're right on target with your remarks.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by Wittyguy: The problem is several fold: First, no one can read anything longer than a twitter feed without becoming hopelessly bored or stupified. Second, there just isn't enough time in the day to search the blogs/sites that might actually produce quality erotica (never mind finding them amidst the raft of shit written by teenage spank monsters). Third, we're mostly guys here ... we want visual stimulation, not the Harlequinn Romance version of what happend. Hey, I'm a guy! :-) And my brain provides the visual stimulation even with written material. I thank my lucky stars that I've always been a voracious reader. It certainly helps my brain to paint vivid pictures of what I'm reading. No movie I've ever seen has been as good as the book because the scenes and characters are truly alive to me as I'm reading about them. I agree that a lot of the erotic stories found on sites like asstr are written by teenaged illiterates but there are some gems as well. I'm always going to "written" when I get tired of the cookie cutter crap being dished out by the various video sites. And picture sites, I should add.

Try searching the tech forums for your motherboard model and USB externals and you might find a solution. I'm glad you mentioned "older machines" RB because I have become careless and have at least two USB connected externals running at boot.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by Drooler: Hi Messmer, I just got a 1TB hard drive a couple of weeks ago and had a similar problem on a reboot. It was plugged into a USB port (so was my 500BGB in another). Came back to find a blue screen and a flickering cursor icon, nothing more. Seemed my computer was having a seizure. Unplugged the new 1TB and shut the system down (power button "hold down"), waited, pushed "on," and was back to normal. Now I don't use the 1TB except for occasional data backup. Power cord is always plugged in, but not USB. Fine by me at this point -- it's only for my videos. One other thing: Once I empty "trash" from the 1TB, I unplug it as it causes trash emptying to take a lot longer. Every time you empty trash, the system looks for trash from all of your volumes, so the more you have, the longer it seems to to take. But I'm using a Dell bought 4 years ago with XP on it and just 1 GB of ram, which these days must look like a joke. Thanks for the tip, Drooler. I haven't had any problems so far with externals since I bought the new computer. It probably was a hard drive failure with the previous one. But I'll certainly keep your advice in mind in case I ever see the dreaded blue screen. Isn't it funny but 1 GB of RAM used to be huge only a couple of years ago. I have 4 GB at present and they'll probably laugh at my low RAM next year. As to the deletes, I agree with you in connection with the externals. In my case it was even more aggravating because I deleted through CCleaner which overwrites each file it deletes three times (my setting). However, after I gave things considered thought I figured I didn't need to worry about secure deletes in my externals because new files will overwrite the deleted ones anyway and the drives are encrypted with True Crypt, so why bother. So, every time I do a delete now I dismount True Crypt and just do a delete of my c: drive.

Sure stats are used to impress potential members, but I would rather have fewer updates of better quality. That said, there are some sites that drag their feet with updates. I am talking about both video & photoset. What do you consider an acceptable update rate? I have my own views, but don't wish to colour folks responses by stating them at this stage. Cap'n. :0) I would say one complete picture set or video a day would be an acceptable update rate for me. However it would also stop me from being a member for longer than a month. I've seen sites with as many as five updates a day but, as you say, quality sometimes tends to suffer. What I find totally unacceptable is the practice of many 21sextury sites of offering a daily update that is only a small part of a video and one has to wait a whole week before the whole dang thing can be downloaded. :-)

It barely works, but you gotta love it! No car chases in porn, so it's tolerable! :-) In porn my pet peeve is a guy named Janeiro. Who let him in?

I think the idea is make you feel part of the action but all it does is make my head spin. I think that the effect could be better if a scene like that was shot in 3-D but otherwise it's just a bunch of in your face, flashy quick cut action that nearly triggers epileptic seizures in half the audience. I just saw a trailer for an upcoming Matt Damon flick (Bourne Part IV -- actually not Bourne but pretty much the same damn character in the form of US special forces guy in Iraq) and it looks like he is contractually obligated to only star in action flicks with this type of shot framing. I always think of the Emperor's New Clothes when I see the critics rave about the "innovative style" of those new directors. I can only see that it's a lot cheaper than closing off whole streets, rehearsing stunts, setting up stationary cameras etc. etc., so they take a chance on epileptic seizures .. and people keep going to those movies so why not do it the cheap way. The Bourne Trilogy could have been great, instead only the first movie was. At least that's the way I see it through my peasant, culturally challenged eyes.

My grandson has gone to see it three times so far (Cinemax prices, too) and is debating with himself if he should go see it one more time! :-) Now for something completely different simply because I have to vent to someone and you happen to be a captive audience: I hate movies shot in the hand-held camera style. "The Bourne Identity" was one of my favorite thrillers and those who made the two sequels totally ruined them for me because the picture of both movies was jerky, disconcerting, confusing. The critics raved about the sense of "immediacy" created by that novel way of shooting a picture, the public accepted without a murmur of protest, so I appear to be in the minority. Same with "Zorro," the first one was great, the second one a jerky, hand-held camera, in-your-face mess. Never did see the end of it, too nerve wracking. Thank you for the opportunity to let off steam a bit! I shall now return you to Porn! :-)

So I stick with the tried and true and have it erase my browsing history and the latest cookies when I close it down.

If it's a hot webpage, then the angle of the dangling cornor takes away that much from the site (a 45 degree dangle reduces the attractiveness of the site by 45%). I'm seeing more of the danglers appearing on regular web pages as well. There just as bad as the web ads that open up to half the friggin' page when you accidentally roll over them. Why not just resort to telemarketers calling me at all times of the day and night like the good old days, it's about as effective as that practice. Ah, it makes me sick! We all got browsers that are capable of blocking pop-ups and now we get tons of pop-unders and roll-overs. Hugely annoying and I wouldn't respond to an ad like that out of pure spite!

Explorer is a joke and can be extremely frustrating to use, especially with regards to security. It's like the program has an attitude of "I guess I can delete personal information if you want" instead of doing automatically when you quit the browser. I have also tried Google's Chrome, and I have to say I prefer the metal to the browser. It's not much better than IE, and can't compete with Firefox either. IE lacks the ability to use a master password which is very important to me. Its "private browsing" feature may delete cookies and history etc. but it also deletes all passwords. So, I'll stick with Firefox when it comes to protecting my privacy.

I'm pretty sure she knew exactly what she was doing when she did the shoot so it's not like she can claim ignorence but I believe it's better to be safe. If this is a scam then she isn't likely to ever be able to do it to anyone else anyway. Her reputation will be made. This was probably a case where she figured that the folks back home would never find out. Sudan, after all, isn't exactly the most wired country. And then the proverbial sh*t hit the fan. There is no doubt that if she was truly from the Sudan it could turn into a life or death matter. Same reason why you find so few real Indian models in DVDs that profess to feature them. Most are either Brazilian or light skinned Afro-Americans because in India, too, family honor is highly prized and it wouldn't be the first time that a girl/woman got killed by her own family for "disgracing" them in one way or the other.

I thought that's what the business was all about: offer the models/performers money in order to make money in return by making the videos/pictures of them public. However, I despise Abby Winters' unwillingness to give the Sudanese woman a break. In her culture being killed for the offense of posing pregnant (or otherwise) is a real possibility. A big contemptuous raspberry to Mr. Hall.

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by PinkPanther: Here's what I find with Firefox. If I have joined a site for the first time since I have used Firefox to browse the site, when I first log-in using Firefox, I enter the username/password and in the upper portion of the browser window, an inquiry will appear - Remember the log-in info for this site? and I can click on "Remember" or "Never". If I click on "Remember", it will remember the info. The problem is that if a membership lapses and I then join again with a different username/password, I haven't been able to get Firefox to save the new information and I find that I have to enter that information every time Firefox is great when it comes to remembering passwords. (see above) The nice thing is that I can tell it to delete my cookies and history when exiting (I haven't dared trying "private browsing") yet it still keeps all my passwords. I also have protection from snooping eyes by using a master password. The way I have my browser set up is this way: home page iGoogle which requires a sign in. After the first time Firefox will remember and all I require is my master password to get to my personalized iGoogle. I then use the "My Passwords" feature of iGoogle to put in the url and name of the site I just subscribed to and since Firefox remembers all the passwords of my subscribed sites, all I have to do when I visit is to click on their names under "Passwords." Visitors to my computer only get a generic iGoogle Home Page not my private customized one because they lack my password. I never had any difficulties re. expired accounts because I delete them from Firefox passwords the moment I am done with them and when I re-subscribe Firefox invariably asks me do I wish to remember the password etc. without any hassle.

It seems like you're saying that you don't join American Vice because of the split files and file names used. But American Vice uses scene-specific file names and no split files. When the American Vice webmaster made his comments about them having "always done it this way" he was referring to having done it the right way - used a naming system that uses scene-unique names. Maybe I'm wrong, but I interpreted the wemmaster's comments as simply pointing out that sites like FTV Girls and Hustler got into using generic names for all files early and now it's too late to go back and change them, so they just stick with a bad choice and live with it. I think what the American Vice webmaster was saying was "We've always just named our files in [a scene specific, unique] fashion since day one. But you're not the first person to mention this pet peeve [that other sites don't use this method]." I may be accused of putting words in the American Vice webmaster's mouth, but I don't think so. My apologies for anyone whom I've mis-interpreted or mis-represented... M Nope, you didn't misinterpret anything. I think Raging Buddhist thought that Reg was the webmaster of FTV and was defending their way of doing things. RB, Reg is the webmaster of "American Vice."

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by turboshaft: My best advice is to try and Google your issue; forums and experts (not customer support employee dimwits) usually hold much more valuable information than any company is willing to divulge. That's exactly what I did and no one seemed to have a solution to the problem. My brother gave me the best solution in the meantime. Just use Windows Explorer, right click on the icon of the DVD drive and click "eject." Problem solved. Thanks all for your sympathy. Your rage helped as well because we are all pissed off when it comes to incompetent and inadequate customer support!

messmer (0) Disabled User Posts: 2,582 Registered: Sep 12, '07 Location: Canada	Originally Posted by Wittyguy: Unfortunately, the whole concept of customer service (or lack thereof) is a big problem that many companies are starting to realize just comes back to bite them in the ass. A friend of mine used to work for a call center supporting a certain wireless company. The company outsourced it's support to the lowest bidder. The result? Workers who didn't care and did the absolute minimum amount of work because the job paid like crap. Minimal training for all employees. Managers who had perverse incentives to increase their pay like reducing the average call time per customer in order process more calls. Guess what, this phone company is losing business because they have the worst customer service in the industry. It's sort of like porn sites. If you have a problem with customer service you're not going back to the site in the future. There are lots of reviews on sites here that got crappy scores and bitchy comments because of useless or fraudulent customer service. I doubt that Gateway will ever get your business again (they've slowly been going down the tube anyway) and now you've bitched about your problem in a forum so that other's will know to stay away. Customer service is a pain but it's a necessary one when you sell products that have warranties and/or require some support. Too many companies view support as a "cost" that affects their profits instead of an "investment" meant to build brand loyalty and generate word of mouth business. You are absolutely right when it comes to useless and fraudulent customer service. It's all too prevalent. It is also extra frustrating to find out that the Gateway I bought because I had problems with my last one, an Acer, is just another Acer in disguise. :-(

I can see you've been my way before! As to your number 3, with my last machine I called their 1-800 number and got an Indian lady whose accent was so thick that I had to keep telling her to please speak slowly so I could understand her. Because my warranty was up at that time she referred me to another number where they might be able to give me some free advice, however when I reached that number I was told it would be something like $ 60.00 for a thirty minute consultation. Capitalism at its finest.

Given that you say it's a common problem, you might want to call around computer repair places in your area. Perhaps one of them has figured out a relatively inexpensive solution? Hi Pink Panther, the solution I came up with is to use any program that plays DVDs and hit the "eject." This method operates my drive just fine. I just shouldn't have to do this and Gateway should have had an answer for me, seeing that it is such a common problem. Automated answers in response to cries for help are an abomination and should never be used by a reputable company. :-(
