Lets wish that all the low-tech poor people suddenly either drop AW or upgrade to GeForce II's. Neither is very likely. Some people
just refuse to operate new hardware. I've been trying to GIVE a $2000 PC to someone running an AMD K5 200 with 32 megs of RAM and a
Voodoo 3 for almost two years now, and yet she refuses to even LOOK at what I'm offering.

No, I normally attribute it to one of three things. Being female, too many memories with old PC (Haha, she met me on AW with that
thing, ick) and she's afraid I'm trying to buy her (Um? Then what's up with the $300 worth of clothing and jewlery I bought her last
month?)

Soooooooooooooooo, there you have it.

Sorry, but if I don't need it and she doesn't want it and the schools don't want it (They never do) I put them to work designing
human genes as potential cures for disease (Genome at Home distributed computing project). I probably have more MHz of CPU actively
designign these things 24/7 than there are in the medical industry doing the same for one hour a day. Sad that some crazy OC'er is
more likely to discover the cure for cancer in his basement and Stanford University will take the credit than it is to be discovered
in an actual lab.

argh some people are so, well, stupid when it comes to computers! They
apparently don't realize they can buy 800Mhz Durons (which are actually
kinda good) for $46, buy a mobo for about $100, and RAM for another $100.
Plus they can get a 32MB DDR Radeon for about $80 now I think so that only
costs $300 to get a much better computer!

yeeesh!
And go AMD for upgrades, they're cheaper and better, hehehehe.

Full tower Case: $70
Duron 700 overclockable to god knows how fast: $30
GF2MX: $80
2656mb of PC133 SDRAM (Yes kiddies, we don't use SIMMs anymore): $40
SB Live Value sound kard of death: $20
Abit motherboard of doom: $125
CD Drive: $20
Floppy drive: $8
CPU fan: $9
56k modem as opposed to 14.4 modem: $20
Kickass brand new 40 gig HDD: $200 at most

That's dirt cheap for a hybrid top of the line/midrange system. I built a similar system in December for a little over $700 without
monitor when this stuff was still expensive.
