ZT3000 System Clock Wont Stay Set

Don't think there is no need for anyone to be kicked out of here. Personally I think that people here could have been more diplomatic with there posts.

.

Re-read the thread. It started out diplomatic, but our new friend decided to become nasty and vulgar. If you want to keep him on, enjoy. I can't see a reason to allow people like him (and a good percentage of the others that came in the past 2 or 3 days).

If you are not doing what we are doing you shouldnt be posting here.

What's with the 1980's mentality here?

Too many people who are not repair technicians joining up and becoming part of the forum chatter. Like yourself for instance.

Is that too 1980's for you ?

Pizza?

I was thinking ravioli. That's what a MacBook Pro smells like when you overclock it a bit.

Enough fun web images!

For my 2 cents, there's no way the OP is a programmer, that's just a bluff to try and glean credibility. I've worked with many programmers over the years and there's no way they would be as lazy in their written language as this guy and his lack of analytical interpretation is a big giveaway - both of the initial problem he wants other's to fix for him, and his reply to other's critical and not-so-critical replies.

Yes, he's been goaded and deserves a break for some of the stupid comments posted earlier by others, but he's had his chance to redeem his credibility and has blown it.

It's a no from me.

It would be a shame to see this forum go to the pizza oven.

IMHO Jimbo, I think that you have been quite restrained. . bravo. . and the link to majorgeeks was a kindness too.



oh. .and btw mpau0516, is is a CMOS battery not a COMN, but com'n you know that.

[engaging the noob and pizza filter now]

Yes, AtlanticJim, a typo is a typo. I guess I'm just used to writing CMON from my IBM days operating an ES9000. We finally decommissioned that old beast in 1999. It was the last one in the country. It had a dot matrix printer using green bar, and vacuum tubes in the reel to reel tape drives. It took up 2 rooms in the Hospital, and there are some parts of it still under the floor after decommissioning it. I asked my boss if he took pictures for the museum, but I don't know if that happened. My personal museum holds an original mouse pad. 1/4 inch thick plywood covered in red felt. LOL, now I bet your guessing my age

Karl's Mom's ZT3000 has been giving problems for some time...

I guess he doesn't debug his own programs!

Closing this. This shouldn't have gone on as long as it has.

This was a very very basic question which the op should have probably Googled. I suspect he is an end user and likely to get banned. I am with you guys on that one.

As for some of the experienced technicians here, remember we have a rule:

Remember forum members are not police. Either share your wisdom, ask legitimate questions or please stay silent. If you have an issue that you would like to bring to a moderators attention, report it.

If a question is too noob for your skills, just dont answer it. A tech on a similar level may answer it.
If you believe the person is an end user, report it by pressing this button

and either a mod or I will deal with it. If they turn out to be an end user they will get banned. I'll control the end users, you control yourselves.
