I stood about 1 month before the attack on the WTC, I did not believe it at all at first. It seemed so unreal to me, like in a movie.


On the subject:

I'm planning to upgrade my PC. Wanted to do that in the store near here to save me the installation. Ask there so what that would cost, he said that he sends me ne mail with the offer. Seemed a bit strange to me, because I have so far with something the price immediately called. 1 week no mail get, again there. Was who else there, and said that would still be processed. After 2 weeks again there, they still said that this will be processed. Meanwhile, over 1 month, I also no longer believe that the still comes.

I mean, they should say that they do not have Bock. They didn't even want to tell me how long they still need for the estimate.
Anyone have an idea what could be behind this? Because they don't have that much to do, I think. That will probably not be the reason...

Is it maybe because of the availability of PC hardware etc.? Maybe they don't know when these and those parts are available and what they cost.

Someone from the circle of acquaintances has also upgraded the PC one or two years ago. It was probably relatively difficult to get parts. No idea if the market has eased in the meantime.

that can make sense, if they already have so many orders but no spare parts, then everything jams there!

And are overwhelmed with the orders. But why now suddenly so many want to upgrade their Pc if at all.

It's awesome how some stores are booming, but other areas are having trouble due to inflation.
See Galeria Kaufhof and the construction industry. How full that used to be on Saturday at Hertie. Can you still remember! how they all flocked to the Karstadt and Hertie. Whenever you went in, some went out or new people came in right behind you. I still remember, I always held the door open for the people. such a rush.

Yes, I also know from my childhood in Bremen. At that time they were all at Karstadt/Galeria Kaufhof ... with the online trade has then continuously decreased

The reason was the Corona crisis. Many components could not be delivered (just like the PS5). Should not be a problem in the meantime. But if it was because of that, then they could have told the customers. But to leave them out in the cold like this is really rude. I would never go there again.

that's stupid, but I also think there is nothing more to come. Is there another store in the neighboring city or so?

Yes, but I just lost the desire to jet there now promptly. And the parts I need, you can buy in any case everywhere else, it is not. Already really weird...

Usually such stores with the names PC Help or PC Specialist etc... all have no plan and work more on the principle Google will already know Maybe that's the reason why nothing comes for so long

Haha, there you have landed a direct hit. PC help and PC emergency call is there with on the banner, so seems to be true your theory.

Probably, but as children we never noticed it so much. We had Pokemon and Digimon on our minds I mean, I can remember 9/11, but it didn't affect me at the time. Today I get a cold shoulder when I think about what the people on the plane must have felt.

The documentary Thriller ' United 93 ' by Paul Greengrass (Bourne, Captain Phillips) describes quite well how the people felt at that time in the plane.

I lived in London from 2002 to 2014. When the bombs went off on July 7, 2005, I was just opening the pub. I was not directly affected but the pub was next to West Norwood train station. No one knew what was going on, cell phone services, internet broke down immediately. All we could do was run BBC News on the screen in the beer garden. The worst though was that night and the next morning. The feeling of 8 million people, a mix of sadness, lack of understanding, and fueled by the Murdoch press and media, hatred and anger. I would never want to experience something like that again.

The different payout times at Gammix now go totally against my grain.
Vegadream and LocoWin got it done within 2 hours the other day, but Wunderwins now takes almost 24 hours and there's no telling when it will pay out. Simply damn annoying.
