Hey yall, im finally back... but i was not expecting the welcome i had gotten... when my mom had our computer cleared, the idiot she took it to didnt even have the decensy to return all of the old programs. talk about agitating. now im going to have to take the computer back, bitch out the guy for the simple fact he charged my mom 100 bucks to just erase everything. attempt to get my money back, and have that man reinstall the computer again. he installed so many supervolous programs that just eat up our memory that its not even funny... and i have yet to check to make shure that all the harddrives are there yet...but other than that i have some estatic news... whilst on my trip to florida, the underground record label 51/50 called me, asking for me to showcase some of my skills. after i finished my 20 bar verse he told me that i needa hurry back to california because he wouldnt allow me to sign with anybody else... so thats good. but since it is an underground label, i cant expect a big check... but my goal was to be signed by 18. at least i can say that i am now... man i missed u guys... and im sorry for my old arrogant behavior from before. ive learned alot whilst i was in florida. and i hope i can be forgiven.

IM BACK!!!!!!!!!
-
Wow, that's awesome!! Congratulations! Welcome back.
-
wow!! im so proud of you!! Congrats :smile: *hugs*
-
thank you all.. imma bit pissed cause i wont be able to record any songs untill tomorrow. it seems that the person my mom took the computer to go get fixed to actually switched my memory stick from a 1 gig, to a 504mb. so im going to have to go over to him and call him out on it, ask him to return it, and reinstall our whole computer. he really did f*** us over... he put the old microsoft office on there and we had 2007. also did not take the consideration to reinstall my old programs. including pro tools, acid pro, virtual dj, audio pro tuner, auto tune, etc... he must not be that intelligent, he knew that im a rapper and knew my computer was part of my in home studio. an AR computer needs a minimum of 1gb of ram to effciently record music. but you know what it doesnt matter... patience is virtue, so i'll wait the extra day or so, and just continue writing so that once my computer is redone ill be able to get straight to work.

Maybe half the stuff you had installed was illegal software that you download with BitTorrent.If I was a professional computer repair tech, I would load only the programs you provide me on disk.. Everything else is..... tough cookies unless it's LEGALLY available to download for free.
-
lol
-
Welcome back Bro! I was wondering what happened to you. Grats on the deal!
-
but would you steal my ram stick? that is completely unprofeshional. and i actually well... my mother actually purchased the microsoft office 2007 legally.
-
No, that wouldn't be cool.. I'm just asking because you did provide links to bittorrent downloads before. But like I said, the tech is not responsible for anything that was not provided to him for installation.
-
you do have a point, but he also did not advise us before erasing our harddrives... he knows that i am a rapper, he should of had the decency to advise us before hand. i lost 700 pages worth of lyrics cause of him.
-
Why didn't you save your programs and files on a different harddrive before sending it off?
I remember this happening to you before.
-
He is talking about the same incident.
-
D'oh!
Ignore me then. :smile: -
I feel your pain, but the rule of thumb is to be sure everything is backed up before you take it in for service. Any tech worth his salt wil save what he can, but is not responsible for what he can't.
-
He wasn't there when it happened.
-
great to have u back buddy!!!! soooo glad things are working out for you! When will we hear you on the radio?
-
It's very good to see you back!Reducing your memory was theft, and you should get it replaced. The hard thing is going to be proving it. You can uninstall and delete unnecessary programs without much trouble, and it would be better to do it yourself than trust it to someone you have no confidence in. The same with programs - if you have original disks or installation files it's not too hard to do it yourself. You can instal Office 2007 over older versions. If you don't have original disks, you can't expect a computer tech to re-instal them if he has to wipe the hard drive. That's a fearsome thing to do, though.I really hope your music career takes off now!

lol, well at the moment im going to be getting signed to an underground label. so i dont expect my checks to be too big, but i will be performing in december on tour with some really great lyricists. slug atmosphere, immortal technique, as well as ac alone. that is if the album is done by then and is just building anticipation before the drop. what i do however expect to get on the radio is my mixtape that im dropping with my partner. im going to be going by 2 different names. to the underground scene ill be GabrielConfucious and to the rest of the world ill be Dat Kid. the 2 names represent the 2 perspectives of my career. @Pete, and everyone else wondering. i did get another 512mb ram stick, free of charge, but unfortunately not the way that i wanted to. i suppose he felt threatened and worried that i was going to lose my temper, when he seen my old scars on my hands and knuckles he offered it to me free of charge, but i still offered to pay the money.
