Those of you that put it together like Jalopy guys use to do it in 50*s putting together you know the cruisers and whatnot. You know you are putting your machines together with whatever components you can find and maybe you are trying to do it to save money I don*t know in that case it might lead to using substandard components you know, this is a perfect example of why I usually don*t even take calls from people who have build their own machines because I have no idea where to even start. If it was a machine that I had worked on before maybe a Del, or an HP, or Compaq, or Toshiba, or an Apple or you know go back into my memory and see if I can recall a particular bug that might be in place or incompatibility. But once you start building your own, well that introduces a whole 2nd, 3rd, and 4th levels of complexity and variances that you know I wouldn*t even know where to begin. I have to sit down and take the machine apart and look at the components and you know do some diagnostics on screen its like hardly the thing I can do on the air so usually I don*t even take calls like that. We tend to on this show anyway talk to people who are experienced but having typical problems with their machines, people who are new to technology, I love people who are new to technology on the show. Older users people using computers for the first time they become seniors and have more time on their hands, students, love, love yelling at students about stealing music. But in general do it yourselfers are just a level of complexity that I admire and I am thrilled that they want to do it but it*s not the thing I am into. I mean you know I don*t even install my own memory, I mean I can I know how but to me the $30 that you pay the guy at the store is more than just convenience and the opportunity for me to walk around the store and buy something new for my Treo 650 or my iPod. It is a very small price to pay as insurance because if for some strange reason I am changing you know the memory and the power goes out or I step on something or I touch something that you know make something not work right, I am responsible I have got to fix it. If they do it believe me the $30 that I spent to have them do it that*s nothing compared to what they might have to spent to fix my machine. They have to make it right so there you go I mean that*s why I can*t askew in that general direction. Anyway, we will take some more calls in just a moment we also have another Bookmark This coming up. My name is David Lawrence and I appreciate you tune it into the show. It*s called Online Tonight you can get all the details on the show at www.onlinetonight.com back in a moment.

David Lawrence: Hey it*s David Lawrence and Bob Parsons who is the President and founder of GoDaddy who you have been listening to during the show. He asked me to help him get Radio GoDaddy started and to reach out to folks like you because it*s important to him and to the people that work for the company to have informed and involved customers. You can get all the details on this show at www.radiogodaddy.com . But the more you know about the Internet, how it effects you, how you can succeed by being a part of it, the more likely you are to become a GoDaddy customer. That*s all there is to it. Now apart from that I can*t think of any company or chief executive more willing to step up and address contentious and often polarizing issues. It*s part of his nature. Check out www.bobparsons.com as well as the new site he has set up at the www.dangerofnoprivacy.com. I joined with Bob at GoDaddy in urging you to get involved. Think of the Internet as you would your home town or your country. Your voice can help make it the place you want to be. Go to www.godaddy.com. If you buy anything there use David as your check out code get a dollar off.
