Your simple mindedness always shows through - here again as many times before,
I don't care what my Sony will be worth next week. It was worth $4,000 when I bought it 6 weeks ago and I have paid back that investment 20 times over through the use of this Sony machine.
For someone such as yourself, you can only look at a price tag. A PC to you must simply be another machine, a depreciating capital asset. All PCs drop in price - if you haven't observed this, you must be autistic in the first order.
To me, I look at the value of a PC, what potential it has when used properly and intelligently, and the already realized profits that I have made from my new investment. I look forward to each new day for the additional profits this machine will generate, and I don't whine away on the Internet because the re-sale value will be going down.
On the other hand, your AMD investment pretty much describes your ability to judge value.
Pick up Mark McGuire's baseball bat, Ali - and you won't be able to get to first base with it. However, with that same bat, McGuire has hit 56 home runs this year.
The value is in knowing what to do with your tools and instruments. You, apparently, only know how to use a PC to annoy intelligent, successful investors on the SI forums. Not much value in that, is there?
Too bad for you.
