I still haven't managed to get a response from XFX yet. I did get a phone number but they only redirected me back to their web site. I am now waiting for them to contact me after finally, with the help of my son, registering the fail graphics card and getting a ticket number. I asked where I could send the card to get it replaced with a working unit in the UK as I couldn't afford to send it back to the USA. Now though the wait to see if they will help. If I can't get them to replace it then I am stuck with a defunct HD7970 which isn't something I will be very happy with. I do hope though that they will replace the card as it is only been in my possession for less than a month and that isn't a good advert for the company. Lets hope then.
I have a long weekend this week so I have been out in the garden planting seeds. The seedlings I had indoors have sadly mostly died off. For this reason with the help of my daughter Tammy I planted more out side. Carrots, basil, coriander, cos lettuce, iceberg lettuce, parsnips, cauliflower, corn and broccoli are all now planted. After planting I feed my strawberries as well as all the other plants that have decided to grow happily outside so far. When I say "I" really it was Tammy who did the feeding. I only mixed up the potash feed. Later in the season I still have to plant some brussel sprouts but that will be at least a month away as I want them to be ready come winter. The nearer Christmas the better really as then they can be used for the festive season. Later planting I hope will give me what I am looking for.
