A Big Thank You to Mike; our fantastic Shark host!

[NorthStar]

Early his morning the UPS delivery man knocked at my door with a package for me inside his ten-ton truck! :exciting:

Lo and behold it was Mike's present from all across the States, directly from Florida, and across the water of the West Canadian coast to Vancouver Island. :cool:

The air was pure, the birds singing, the trees blossoming, the flowers happy, and all that jazz. http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/springsmile.gif

...Skip few beats, unpacked the package and inside the box was a flat screen monitor (28" I believe), to replace my small 15" (or 17") PC's screen.

Happy is an understatement. I was totally ecstatic! ...The UPS guy had to restraint me with chains! :cantmove:

I got everything figured out to be perfectly set. I could easily write a book about it but I simply won't. :derf:
...I'll need an adaptor (PC to HDMI/DVI), and when I do and that everything is ketchup well setup, I'll take a pic or two to share with you.

Today is May 07, but I swear that it is December 25! ...And I'm back! ...To when I was six-years old again! :baby:

Mike, a Big Thank You for your Big Generosity! :heart:

[Dewster]

Picture is worth a thousand words :hi:

[joeinid]

Congrats Bob!

Awesome, Bob !!!!!

Getting to really know Mike,and Joe as well as I have, is truly a blessing. Both of them would give you the shirt off their back.

Enjoy that "huge" new monitor !!!!

[NorthStar]

Ok, but I can only show you (couple pictures of) my setup before the new transformation for right now. And eventually I'll share couple more pictures of after (final) setup.
How's that sound, fair enough?

...And without any further delay:

Yes Mark, I see the light very brilliantly! I knew already of the amazing generosity from Joe, and now Mike, and you too Mark.
You guys are truly the three good musketeers! ...No wonder the three of you are behind the greatest Audio Shark forum of them all!

It is an extremely high privilege to be among the three of you, plus the other 185 awesome members of this site!

In all my Internet life I never ever experienced so much joy and happiness in all around my surroundings, internally and externally.
...Beam me up to the next higher level Scotty!

[Penthouse-D]

I must say, I've haven't had the pleasure of meeting Joe or Mike in person, but I've been emailing with Joe for years and met Mike through him. They are two of the nicest guys I've never met! lol They have been extremely helpful and very generous with their time, always lending a helping hand and ear whenever I have a question or need expert advise. THANKS SO MUCH for your help and this forum!!! Jim

Thank you Jim.

We are just wild and crazy guys who absolutely love this stuff. We genuinely love to help and I am glad we can. Thanks for the acknowledgement. I've been helped along the way and want to give back.

[socfan12]

Congrats, Bob!

I truly believe AudioShark is a reflection of the kind, generous, and genuine nature of its leaders and founders. A truly remarkable place to be.:heart:

[dlb2]

Bob... Congratulations!!! :exciting:

Mike...Very nice!!! Karma owes you one. :cool:

That may be the understatement of the year! :)

[Mike]

Bob - you're very welcome! If it makes you happy, it makes me happy. Enjoy buddy! :)

Mike

[highEndguy]

Mike rules !!!

[NorthStar]

If it makes me happy! ...Just wait till I get it all set up and running, you're going to see a guy posting way more pictures in the pictures' threads. :D ...Like the one Paul started for example.

Words are warm and cool, and emotionally satisfying, and pictures are going to take over all of that and much much more; you're all going to be radically blown away of your feet and up flying to another dimension you've never experienced before. :lookatthat:

Jim I agree with you 120%. Mike and Joe are excellent assets to Audio Shark plus they have top notch gear.:happy:

Is very nice to meet friends here but
It gets better when you bond your friendship when you meet personally.
Last NYC Audio Show I met with Bruce,
Truly a warm heart kind of guy and then
with you, Jim, you looked to me like a
Model came out from GQ. :)
And Mike, He is even better in person.
I was at His home last year and treat
me like family. You don't image how
Simple and down to earth he is.
I'm very glad to meet you all and hope
In my next travel I finally can meet with
Joe.
Swim safely my good friends

Nelson

[Penthouse-D]

Nelson, Thanks, but I'd suggest an eye exam for you! I also appreciate your help. I think we're laying the groundwork for one hell of a party during the 2014 NYC show! Stay healthy my friends, it's going to be a barn burner. I'll make the arrangements as I've lived in NYC for 20+ years.

[highEndguy]

Count me in !!!

Holy Displays Batman!! That is impressive.

Bob, is that yours for real ?

[NorthStar]

Bob, is that yours for real ?

Nelson, this thread is only 30 posts; I'll let you decipher the obvious. :)

...It could have been though, only if ....

__________

* No, my setup is just a small IBM ThinkCentre (tabletop PC) with IBM ThinkVision (17" tabletop screen), IBM ThinkKeyboard, and IBM ThinkMouse.

** But now I got a new 28" (or 26) flat screen monitor, thanks to Mike. :)

==> I was complaining that the pictures were too small on my small screen the way the site is organized.
So Mike, to resolve my problem, just sent me a bigger screen! :D ...How cool is that! ..."Long distance voyager"; is that from Moody Blues?

[AudioSalon]

Thanks for a wondeful site Mike, its intimate, friendly and a pleasure to visit. We may not have 11 million members but I see an increase in activity and posts daily...keep up the great work.

Bob...that's a serious setup you've got:disbelief::exciting::cool:

Thanks! That means a lot. There is so much that goes on in the background that no one sees (like we are busy resubmitting for the third time - our apps to Apple). Yes, we don't have 11 million members, but the ones we have are real! :D

Yeah, ok, thanx Dave! ;) ...Does it make me serious? :D

The monitor (27" Samsung) is set up and running now; I just did it a couple hours ago.
But I still have more to do (stereo audio system), and perhaps a Blu-ray player (got lots of those), but then, I don't use my PC to watch movies (got the normal TV for that).

One thing so far: AWESOME! This is totally super cool to have a nice big picture of that size!
My friend Will was just over and I showed him some pictures I took, and he was blown away by few of them.
Listen to this: Will is a professional musician and painter, and he asked me to email him some of the shots I took! That's real nice. And he also suggested to me that I should share some of them pictures with you guys. But I'm shy and I feel that they are kind of private, plus they are not up to my true potential, because my camera is nothing, and they are from very low resolution (only 2 megapixels).

Anyhow, eventually I'll share some; we'll see if it's worth it.
Now, I'll see if tomorrow is a better day; today is raining and the sky is totally covered of clouds.
...Because I can take a least a picture or two of my new screen (no big deal, but still beautiful for a normal guy like me).
Usually when it's sunny at my place I can take pictures inside my mansion; without a flash (I hate flash).

For now just trust me; it is awesome and I am extremely happy! ...Thank you so much Mike; I won't let you down, nava! :D

* Jeez, look at all my ugly fingerprints!

** See that small acrylic table; under it goes my Denon integrated amp (30 watts per channel) with custom made wood side panels, and I will use my small Paradigm Atom as my speaker monitors (wood varnish).
It's going to be a nice humble setup. ...Much better than my previous one (better and bigger visuals, and much better audio too).

*** It is you, people here at AudioShark, people like Mike, and Joe, and Mark, and all the rest of the gang who motivated me to improve my lifestyle, by your generosity and standard of excellence in your honesty, freedom, integrity, peace, love, and real happiness. :heart:

Time to play now! :D

Because I edited it, I simply quote myself here to be on the same page.
And thank you for the blown-up. :)

This morning I installed my Denon integrated amp (PMA-250) under the acrylic table on which reposes my new monitor.
And when I checked my Paradigm Atom speakers I found them too big for my restricted PC table.
They would fit, but instead I installed my Minimus-7W speakers with walnut varnish.
I'm done now; visuals and audio wise.

Peace to all! :peace:

So here ya go now; my Visual/Audio "working/fun" station. :)
- If it wouldn't have been of Mike, I wouldn't have set myself this comfy.
BUT! Now I'm so tired that by the time I'm ready to watch a Blu-ray movie I fall asleep! :derf:
