    Wondering if I could get a pic or 2 with the z7v1, z7v0, and w3v all in the same shot to display overall size/looks?

    Sorry... my pic request rate's all maxed out...... If we find time to do a comparison shot for the custom models, then we might show those together... but don't hold your breath. I do appreciate your asking me in the forum though so others could benefit from it.... and I do want to stress "ask" ..... Recently I've gotten a lot of emails from people who supposedly frequent this forum "telling" me to take pictures of this and that and "do this, do that" ....... I don't put up with that stuff and it's certainly not my job title.....

    If we can get around to it this week I'll certainly post them but the comparison will certainly be a z63a as we'd rather compare the custom line..... but it's the same size and design as the w3v...

    Yeah.. well for personal reasons.... if it's not on our site it's because we have more important things to worry about....... if the entire forum and gain something from it, I'll put an effort into it......... I don't do sales any more and it's mainly because the exposure I've gotten personally..... whether on the forums or word of mouth or whatever... everyone wants to talk to me and only me. On slow days I don't mind but I've been taken advantage of on more than one occasion where someone would take an hour of my time to ask questions and talk...... then come right out on the forums and say if you have any questions about Asus stuff... call him, but I saved a few bucks buying from someone else.. It's the same old story..... the place that's cheaper won't or can't answer any quesitons because they don't have or don't know the products.... I'm willing to put information on our site that we take the time to do for our customers benefit...... and of course people are going to use that when they're researching but it's not wasting someones time. So basically I put a limit on myself to only answer questions on this particular forum and emails from forum members that might be directed towards something I said on here or basically anything that isn't sales related (or I direct them to our sales people) ......

    Basically... If I can help someone in their search of the right computer or something, great..... but I'd rather share the knowledge I have with a much larger base so I don't have dozens of calls asking the same question. It's really the best aspect of participating in a forum like this...

    Very smart way to operate. Otherwise, you could get seriously burned out! As it is, it's impressive that you can run a successful business and provide so many helpful posts here at the same time. I appreciate the extra time you put in to keep everyone in the loop! (and that goes for the other resellers, too!)

    3000 and some posts don't just come out of thin air...... I do spent a lot of time here, but really it's actually less time than I used to spend on cases like I mentioned above... If I spent an hour a day physically typing in here..... if it helps 10 people, then thats more than I could help on a personal level. It's also pretty funny, but everyone has basically the same questions..... It would get to a point where they say like two words and I finish their sentence..... so yes.. burned out is certainly what I got some days.
