some ppl are so -- well without being offensive -- thick when it comes to computers
a friend of my mums just got a brand new comp -- 1.5Ghz -- 256MB ram -- 35gig HD -- gf 4 graphics card -- dvd rom -- and a cd-rw and the latest lexmark printer
but she hasn't got a clue how to use a comp -- i just got back from setting it up for her -- i was so jealous cos its a million times better than mine and i was setting it up for somebody who had to ask me -- how do you turn it on -- how do you turn it off -- how do you print how do you write stuff etc.
I'm so jealous  she doesn't even know how to use a comp n she got that set up -- n i got the slowest set up in the world
o well -- from now on I'm saving every penny i get towards a new comp -- a mate of mine in school got a descent comp for £700 -- but thats gonna take me an eternity to save

| I've spent loads of money on new computers and all I an say Bobins is it will be outdated a month after you buy it. If your gonna do it I recommend buying something cheap yet has the ability to be upgraded to what you want. When I bought my first machine I was the same way. My latest I had built for me exactly the way I wanted it and it ended up being cheaper than a prebuilt that is semi comparable. Just some advice, that's all. |

I can never get tired of building puters.  I just hate puting the power cord into the floppy drive in my case.  It keeps coming loose when I'm working inside of my puter. |

lol -- i hate it when stuff disconnects when your messin inside your comp
n its not that actually building comps is boring -- its just i was building em non stop for 5 days -- i build so many -- one after another -- after another
don't get me wrong it was fun at first -- holding 10 P4 2GHz processors was cool -- i never thought i would see so many -- n they were used within 2/3 hours n then i had to get more -- but after the first day the novelty just wore off

Now i bet you that my comp is worse, since everything is the exact minimum for TFC to run(look at sig). Also, i got a labtop that is so slow it is not even funny. I think it is 50megahertz or something..   I am gonna buy a new one soon. I got about $1050 and will save a little more before I buy one.
