Oh Boriz, let it out... release that anger .... now breathe deeply and slowly,,, better now? .
Oh Stan, why delete. I liked it
When have I ever had a real dig about Google other than the truth?
I use it (and Alta-Vista) a lot and it's a fanatstic and frustrating tool that's a bit wonky.
Ebay, I tease 99%. But some things are a little serious.
Putting jokes to one side for a second, you opened the can, so let's give it a
squeeeeze :-
I have seen on various Forums quite a number of occasions of people having problems only to find that the product has been of very poor quality.
With my other hat on I get flabbergasted having to give technical assistance only to find the the third-party 'product' is of poor quality, often (not always) because the product has been bought on the cheap.
Amazingly, when a 'proper' replacement device has been bought then the 'problem' goes away ... just like magic. That extra quid did the trick.
Ebay is synonymous with "cheap" and all the unfortunate connotations.
There is good and bad made all over the world... it's just funny that most issues I see are because of anonymous products usually bought on... [ ________ ] Fill in the blank.
Therfore, on these (albeit rare) occasions, someone has saved 50p and then others have to spend hours/days fixing it.
I realise that you meant it sarcarstically (touchee Boriz - and it made me laugh), but it's not a question of my "Approval" it's simply just having a think before purchasing ... pennypinching is not always sensible even if you are impecunious. To drive 50 miles to save 50p.
And if I was that broke I'd get a paper round
(That was a joke by the way. I'm not suggesting you should become a paper boy or get any other job).
