Re: 2010 Lincoln MKZ

Take the loaner and get it fixed before it messes up the front end. I would have the tanks checked before he comes out for water.

I run the corporate network for my office. I am senior network engineer. HVAC people said its power problem. Electrician said its the unit. They were both right. A bad HVAC compressor and 106V on lag 2. I am tired of excuses. Fix it right or I hire someone else.

Re: 2010 Lincoln MKZ

Tanks are electronically monitored, including a backup system to check for water, or any leaks for that matter. The thing is, is the guy had no idea that water is heavier than gas, and water would sink to the bottom, not float on top.

Oh, I keep reading the username and I gotta ask...WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO CHANGE FROM SCSI TO SATA!!!! EH!!!

I inherited an ex-network comp (year old) and wanted to transfer one of my spare HDDs over to it as it only has 40GB, but the power cords are different of course. You'd think if anything they'd at least be interchangeable.... With any luck I'll be able to keep my current box running another 8 years! Excuse my noobness when it comes to computers. In your case, you've probably forgotten more about computers than what I'll ever know about them, lol.

That's the going rate these days, everyone's trying to find excuses. I help out my dad in his office occasionally. He hired a late 20's guy to help with overseas software support and is scheduled to work 9-5, as that's the hours for the business. It's a fairly large corporation and he arrives 5min before 9 and starts packing up 5min before 5pm, even if he's on a call! The majority of people from my generation take none, or very little initiative and want to get paid as much as possible for doing as little as work as possible. I suppose it's the same for the older folks, but all that I've hired, older folks are the one's I'd rather have working for me.

Students are good for filling in the part time hours I need, but after finding left behind drugs, plus several other goodies, it's not what I would expect from 3rd year university students in a mechanical engineering course. Not to mention the fact that every second day one of them is late, or has to leave work early. It's getting harder and harder to give out good work references, but on the other hand, it makes it easier for me.

Re: 2010 Lincoln MKZ

SAS maybe.

www.scsiraidguru.com is my web site. My workstation has SAS drives in it. No SATA.

My SAS drives are faster than any SATA drive could dream being. I started building them in 1982. I have my B.EE, CNE, MCP, CCNA, and other certifications. I handle help desk, 27 SQL databases, diskless 64-bit 8 core servers, Exchange, and a 24 disk dual channel SAN at the office. Fiber based SAN, each server has 4 x 1 Gbps NICs teamed.

You should arrange for the seat to be replaced at the same time.

Re: 2010 Lincoln MKZ

That's quite the system! Seems like you could use one of these ThinkGeek :: The ThinkGeek 8-bit Tie . I couldn't even tell you what my system consists of, off hand, as it has several parts from other PCs, and is going on 8 years old. I've always worked with SCSI drives, SATA is new to me but I have heard of SAS, just never followed up. I know that the case - used to be white! My first box was a Commodore 64. My last box, a Pentium 133, lasted me nearly 9 years, until Windows 98 came around, and I had nothing but problems. Should have kept 95.

I did ask about the seat, they said it'll take close to a month to come in. I told them that there had to be one similar in a vehicle on their lot and to install that. We'll see how it goes next week.

Re: 2010 Lincoln MKZ

If my workstation was a car, I would be in Formula 1. I do Photoshop CS4, A/V and CAD work on my workstation.

I went back 4x for the tire pressure sensor going off on my LuCerne. They put a new tire on and could not balance out the pressure.

Re: 2010 Lincoln MKZ

I have AutoCAD myself. It's an earlier version but it still works great. I used to be really good at Flash/Web programming, but I lack the appropriate programs to keep up with it.
