MSI notebook order thread: post your orders here

From what I understand is he is happy to have gotten the last piece from the 7700HQ stock at a lower price and his last phrase he is telling others who wish to buy the new version that it's available.

Be smart....be like Phoenix....

 

Well it'll save me taking it to a shop to do it lol. Quite happy to donate beertokens to his benevolent fund *COUGHS*

Y'see I'm not, thats why I'm asking My fried GE62 is testament to that...

 

beertokens to @Phoenix? He doesn't use alcohol...

I can't say whether a reasonable donation to his Gratitude fund will persuade him. You will have to tag him again to ask about that.

 

Neither do I with the meds I have to take for various unpleasant things I'm stuck with.

Or pee him off so much that he helps (or not) just so I STFU and go away ?

What say ye o mighty @Phoenix windows tweaking guru of notebook-dom? I shall sacrifice haggis in honor of thy mighty deeds. (Mibbe not, but I'll eat one and think of you) Oh aye, and the donation to benevolent fund..

Wilst thou... ah heck running out of drivel tae spout.... Gonnae (please) help me tidy up mah shait man ? I dinnae dae words, I'm Scottish

PS it wizsnae me! it's that @Donald@HIDevolution 's fault. He told me to...

PPS I don't talk this way IRL... Promise !
