WooHoo! My 10,000th Post
I just made my 10,000th post this morning. Now I realize that 99% of my posts are my sales pitch, but every once in a while I do have some good input on printer repair. When I did work in the field I was only an ole printer guy. I thought that when I got into the manuals thing, I would be able to learn copier repair. Well I've been selling manuals for 12 years and I don't know a thing about copiers. When I go to my Dr's office I'm always asking to look at their copier because I never see one in the 'flesh'
I wish to thank all of my friends and customer's on this site for their support. About every 3-4 months as you all know, somebody comes down on me (usually a newby) for my posts and I am humbled by the responses my friends give to these clowns. When I first started advertising here, I used to give out answers to error codes but then I realized I was spending far too much time here and it wasn't in my best interest to give out this info. Now they get my sales pitch instead. By the way.......I have an MS keyboard that has 18 programmable function keys on it so I just hit the S1 key and out comes the sales pitch. I just adjust the italics and color on it and I'm all set.
My programmer just installed a new chat thingy on my site and I'm working to try to figure out how it works. (No docs.) The other day, I had a guy in chat from Egypt. He was looking for a cd player service manual which I did have. So after wasting 20 minutes with this guy he tells me he doesn't want to pay for it and I should give it to him for free. I could feel the steam emanating from my ears I was so pissed. But I have to be polite to everyone. Sometimes it's tough. As most of you know I do have somewhat of an attitude problem. It's gotten better now that I'm getting older but I do take 2 anti-depressants. My happy pills. Out of all the drugs I've ever taken, the anti-depressants are by far the best. (Except for maybe pot). But I've been cutting down on that lately as business has taken a downturn. I just re-started my Google adwords again and I'm hoping that business picks up. It's tough making a living at $12.77 a pop. I do sell some firmware here and there but depending who and how I get it, it can be a big sale for me. I sell it for generally $65.00 and I throw in the service manual.
Speaking of firmware...........We have to stop calling it frimware or frimwar. I have a function on my site where I can monitor who is on the site and what their searching for. I see guys in the advanced search page searching for FRIMWARE. Sheesh! I now have a link on my main page telling folks to contact me for firmware. I don't keep it on the site.
Well I could babble away for hours but I'll close up now. Again..........I wish to thank my friends and customer's on this site for their support and purchases. I do give out manuals sometime to folks that actually help other people and who are my friends. It feels good to do it. And of course I'll always offer a free manual to a non-profit or church folks. (Even though I'm not a Christian)
Best Regards to all,
Paul
