Re: Not at all! Read carefully what I say and you will see what I mean. Chuck, I'm making it too complicated on you. Let me make it a little easier using a real world example that anyone could understand. A 1995 Honda Accord with 100,000 miles is all you need. It gets you to point B from point A just as good as any other car. Then, why do people buy Mercedes, BMW, Cadalac, etc? A $70,000 house with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom is all you need. Then, why do people continue to build/buy $250,000 houses? A $20 pair of jeans gets the job done. Then, why do people continue to buy designer jeans for $80? A 15 inch TV is all you need. Then, why do people continue to buy 27 inch, 32 inch, 35 inch, 52 inch, etc TV's? You can cook a meal at home for $5. Then, why do people continue to go out with the family and spend $100 on a nice dinner? You can buy a used couch for your living room for $100. Then, why do people continue to pay $1000 for a couch for their living room? Do you see my point? Aren't you guilty to some of these sins? Do you want me to go on and on? Why should computers be so different than any other thing that us consumers indulge in? chic
