Re: CHEAP.

You get what you pay for.

Ex. A guy at work, about a yr ago, bought a CYRIX PC. He had regrets, some software locked up. He had to go out and buy another PC, with Intel inside. It seems not all software is tested with CYRIX chips.

re Cheap PCs
So true. I bought Payless shoes once. They look as bad as bedroom slippers with very few wearings.
And then there are kids.
My kids always said "We have to have OP shorts" or "We have to have Bugle Boy shirts" etc. I would say "But they cost so much more for the same thing" They would say "Get less. We have to have those".
With all that advertising (read the article on Woodruff of Coca Cola in the IBD) Coke has made it so people "have to have coke" . Does it taste that much different from the others?
So now that Mikie is going in for advertising in a big, worldwide way..... Need I say more?
