I was going through the paper, looking for the unemployment section, and came across a full-page, full-color spread that was trying to flog Dell computers.

Excuse me, but when did PCs get so goddamn cheap? $560 for a nearly-top-of-the-line machine? What the fuck?

I paid $3000 for my computer, back in 1996. It was sexy then. Now... heh.

*crie* I want one. Better yet, I want a laptop. So many reasons to want a laptop now...

THAT'S for sure. Still not as bad as Compaqs, though. Admittedly, the Banshee is an HP, butI have managed to get around pretty much every piece of proprietary software that is on it, and any other up grade I've done to it has been smooth sailing...she's a sweet piece of machinery, now.
