Well life has a funny way of kicking you in the face out of no where, here's the story.

I decided to go find a job and work at a grocery store to earn some money and, purchase a computer. So I work for 7-9 months doing very stressful work. Finally the day comes I have enough to buy my computer. I do the best to find the right kind of deal and the computer suited for me. I crash my first computer, the OS dies and I have so many problems with it because I know very little about how to maintain it. For a few months I have no computer its practically dead. Then I finally get the time and money to get it fixed people help me get it back to normal and even upgrade it a little bit, for a price..... Well about 4 months pass by I think life's fine and dandy I learn allot of things the retailer's don't mention to you, and I know how to keep my computer running efficiently.

Then one day, my little brother comes and tells me he's getting a "New" computer. I go what do you mean, he says,"My friend's letting me have his old computer". At first I thought well it must have tons of problems with it and must be low quality stuff. He brings his computer in I look at the spec's on the side of his computer. Everything on it is twice as good as my computer that I suffered so many hardships with. And thats not all, he's in luck that I have enough knowledge and connections to be able to get it running great. So here's the moral of this story.... MORAL??!?! There is no moral, just a really jealous brother. Sometimes I think God has a sick sense of humor. :disgust:

I know what you mean, it is always interesting how some can always find the good deals and others get nothing but sour lemons.

Actually there is a moral: If you think computer prices are too high today, wait a couple of days and be surprised. If you do buy one today, don't look at computer advertisements for a few months. It'll just make you sick.

Another antidote: Two guys buy identical Cadillacs but one red and the other blue. The red one gets scheduled maintenance and regular intermediate checks but seems to always have problems. Man, this car sucks.

The blue car gets no maintenance, the oil is black, the gas tank is always driven to empty, etc; Man, I love this car.

Moral: **IT HAPPENS

Vercades, great story. Thanks.
