Wow, and I thought my dad's gift, a Cross pen and pencil set, was great.

Times, they are a changin'.

lol. ya it was a really nice gift to help us out. but ofcourse my sister is broke as usual so my dad bought her her 2nd computer as well. me on the other hand, if this one doesn't last im screwed

same with her car, she didn't like her 06 civic so when i got my truck she complained she got a nicer truck, it was a year older, but had less miles than her car, and was still worth more than my truck even tho it was 2 years old.

She's broke because she can't shop for sheet! With a 2K budget she could have gotten a good business notebook that would spank a MB, plenty of software and money left over (I'd estimate around $500). She also sucks at PCs if she broke it within 2 years.

Some people used the carrot, my old man was definitly a stick guy.
"Son, you don't pass college, I will beat your *** into next week"

That was my motivation,
First PC I bought for myself, AMD K6-2 running at 366 Mhz.
I had 64 megs of ram (Made me think I was all that and a slice of cheese)
I financed that bad boy, I think it was almost $3,000 back in 98

When have we been over this before?

Im talking stock to stock, apples a better computer. Meaning, better then any stock computer then you can buy.

Thats like comparing buying a house, compared to a builder building a better one for half the price. Of course, he has the tools and resources and knowledge to do it. Im sure computer geeks can build a much better computer for cheaper. Stock for stock, apples are worth the extra cash.

If you actually read the thread you'll see my post where I completely ripped apart your "theory". With proof.

im not reading 8 pages of nonsense, plus i was replying back to bird dog. I have owned stock PC's and they have sucked, bad. I have owned 2 apples for over 8 years and havent had a single issue. My opinion is my opinion, you are entitled to have your own.

Lazy ***... and I'm stating facts pertinent to your statement, not opinions.

Keep drinking your coffee buddy, i was bored and looked through the 8 pages of nonsense, you never once replied to my post. Maybe your PC is glitching. So good job on the internet ripping, you win the nerd of the week prize.

Bottom line, this is like the mustang vs camaro threads, everyone has their own opinion. Some people like Macs, some like PC's. Enough said. No need to triple your post count to argue about computers.

Good day and good luck on your internet ripping

explain what? are you drunk? you said your ripped my post apart, and you didnt, you ripped some other guys post apart.

When you reply to someones quote, it even tells you who you are replying too. Look at the links you posted when you called me a lazy ***. They refer you back to you tearing apart someone elses quotes. Are you so upset that you dont see that? Are you confused?

Get over yourself

Im done posting here, take a 5 minute break and realize that the last 5 posts that you posted in here make no sense.
