Steal on hard drives!


Recommended Posts

im w/ dragoon, also lets put into consideration its monday morning when this happened.

Ubid would have to process and ship ALL of its orders submitted from some time friday afternoon, saturday and sunday.

they will be super busy!!

but this could work to our advantage... lets say that they take out our money first and the ship (duh!) since they

are so busy they'll take our money and since the are so busy once they realized that they have taken our money,

they have to complete the transaction and send out what we paid for (as advertised)!! i dont mind if it takes

a week to get to me, but if i get it it'll be worth it!!!!

do i sound like im getting desperate in finding ways that we will come out on top????????

yea.. i hate those dreams... but i am def starting to wake up from this.. i know i am not going to get my 8 hds in the mail

well i ordered 1, and i could see them honoring this had only a few people ordered 1, but with people ordering 8 and putting them out of stock on some, i doubt it....

im so into this that ive setup myie2 to auto refresh...

every 10 minutes - my bank's website w/ my account $$$ and any pending charges.

every 15 minutes - my ubid account order status page

every 5 mintes - Outlook Express for any Ubid emails

the emails of this info will be forwarded to my cell phone!!

im going to go to practice w/ my punk band. later alls and i hope we get what we want!!

if they dont honor their initial price, im going to email them a link to this

thread to show how we like the deal and how we got hosed!!

also threatening to go to the BBB works too!!

lol, this is the probably the fastest growing thread ever, i mean 10 pages in like 12 hours, thats alot.

-Update- 160GB IDE drives were cancled and my SATA order is still going strong, for about 3 hours now, im hoping and praying, i also have myIE2 setup on auto refresh and my email.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
