Hi everyone. I'm blayn and I was graciously invited by Scott via LinkedIn.
I am a technical generalist or general technologist… and somewhat having an career identity crisis as I just quit my job in San Diego of 10+ years with a generic title and encompassing so many different things and moved to Denver to begin again… which I'm realizing is much more true than I anticipated.

I love music, technology (duh), helping people, camping, design, nature and being in company of people who also are passionate about any combination of those things. I find value in things that are useful and good, tried and true, and new and innovative.

Thank you for the invitation @scottalanmiller

@Nic @grey thanks! There's beer (if that's your thing) in for you if I can take you up on it.

Welcome @DustinB3403, I'm new here too.

Good luck with that! Haha.

Welcome @marcinozga! Quite a few from NY here.

@Nic Next week works just fine for me except Monday and Wednesday. How about Tuesday?

Unfortunately I can't do beer due to celiac, but cider is right up my alley. There's a cider brewery downtown that Grey introduced me to that we could visit.

Let's make this happen… @Nic @Grey do you have any availability this week?

I did try the google thing - there are a number of sites with low prices and seemingly good ratings - but checking into them for legitimacy is time consuming. For instance, both those top online stores (software plaza and Tek-Micro) have several complaints about the keys not getting delivered or not actually working. I threw it up to you guys to see if any of you had a reputable channel I purchase through.

Thanks for all the replies though guys. I appreciate the advice.

Well, I'm looking for a cheap OEM of WIN 7 - immediate delivery of the key preferred. In fact, if any of you have an install image that would be helpful - I was planning on just rooting around for one.

Purchase of a cheap key is the intent of the post though.

Well, ultimately it's just going to be a Parallels VM to run on a Mac. So, I think I'd be safe.

Thanks, that's a good suggestion - but I had something more immediate in mind.

@Nic that sounds fantastic! I'm in.

Just looking on how to come across one the cheapest way possible - but not shady like G2A. Thanks.
