Brendan.. dude.. I'm starting to worry about you.

remember you talking about someone thats been gifting out GTX 580's at $500+ each, this laptop was only $480 so it was nothing special to him lol

Sorry dude, wasn't meaning to lay on a guilt trip or anything - no offense was meant.
I purchased some 480 hydro's from Brendan a while ago (through the marketplace) and jokingly said more recently "do you wanna swap them for some 580's?".. that's probably what you're thinking of. I never actually received any cards, and am not aware of any being gifted. I very recently had to sell the 480's because of financial difficulties (off work on unpaid medical leave for nearly a month now).
It's none of my business, but the guy seems to have a heart of gold, and I hate to see him get himself in a difficult financial situation through his own generosity.
Again, sorry, no offense was meant by it.

no offense taken, and many people have said for him not to go into debt over this and he keeps saying he is not

He did gift a bunch of 580's around the folding forum, here is the thread talking him buying them

http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=701697

and he donated like 4 or 5 of them at a 10/10/10 folding contest we had.

Ahh ok, that I was not aware of - I don't fold anymore - not since that half-month EVGA folding team competition, I cant afford to replace cards now, even if they are only 560's lol. Amazing generosity. I guess if he can afford it, then good on him. I just hope that generosity does not get abused.

Way to go BR. I hope that one day I can at least help along with you all who do so much for so many here. If I could hand you out a bunch of blue ribbons for the efforts you bring just to put a smile on someone's face I would.

I'll help people as long as I'm financially able in a responsible way. I'm not doing anything stupid with my money. I live a pretty much frugal lifestyle. I'm a Property Manager so I don't have to pay rent or Mortgage. I'm not rich but I have more disposable income than most people. I could go take vacations or buy new equipment for myself but I get a bigger high from brightening up someone's day. I'll make an effort to spread some Love your way next month when my fun money account recharges. What you're going through sounds like it must suck big time and being sick doesn't help, I'm sure. As for people taking advantage of me I can always...

That I can accept, with thanks    ..might need them - the x-rays yesterday did not come back clear unfortunately.

Nereus I wish you the best of luck my great friend, and I hope some great things come to you sooner or later

what has happened it's nothing serious right? you said something about being ill? but it's nothing serious right?

Hey Brendan, sorry I am not trying to tell you what to do at all, I'm just so used to seeing selfishness and greed in people, both in my job and often just where I live in general (NYC is not known for it's selflessness, lol). Sadly, it is increasingly rare to see someone so unconditionally giving, purely for the joy of making others happy, and my instinct is to protect and make sure that goodness is preserved and not lost to the actions of some prat who would take advantage of it. I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment here.

As far as spreading any love my way, look thanks but I'm not very good at receiving anything from anyone that I didn't work for or earn in one way or another. Just think positive thoughts my way - that would be plenty :-)  ..I still have a roof over my head while others don't even have that much, so give to a charity if you are determined. I didn't intend this to be a "what about me" thing if it came out that way.

Take care bro.
