| 290514 | 2004-11-12 10:30:00 | oh well, to bed then. Perhaps to dream about owning a big PC superstore. Perhaps in Wanganui? Or another metropolis were I can drive my Dell through the streets and wave at fellow Dell drivers (sigh). Perhaps it really is bed time, after all. |

| 290515 | 2004-11-12 10:33:00 | >No, the point is that not every one is willing (or inclined) to put the effort in. Many people simply want to go to a shop, buy a PC, take it home, plug it in a off they go. Why can't you understand that? Sure, you're an enthusiast, but most people aren't - it's a really simple concept for goodness sake! Notice the person who started the thread? He was making the effort,looking for an alternative,Why can't you understand that?are you a raving lunitic?Its a simple concept,they guy asked for advice. It makes no difference what would suit granny,Granny didn't start the freakin thread. And yeah,cars and computers,so similar,Give yourself another pat on the back, |

| 290517 | 2004-11-12 10:42:00 | Somebody just pointed something out to me..... you don't actually read all that some one has to say, do you? You read to the point that you think some ones had a go at you (usually only perceived, not real) and you go straight on the attack! Head down a charge, whithout a care for reality at all! And if you can't win fairly you resort to name calling, or other forms of abuse. It really must be a laugh a minute in your shop.... until a customer walks in with a different opinion than you. Metla, you may well know a thing or two about computers, well done. But your power of reasoning and social skills are very poor. How the heck do you manage with real people in the shop??? |

| 290519 | 2004-11-12 10:56:00 | Whatever you say Potus,just keep in mind that people ask for real advice and are generally deserving of something better then go buy a Dell. With a little effort they can have a much better outcome,No matter how many spanners you want to throw in the works to cloud the issue. |

There! That was pretty darn civil! Well done, Metla. I feel a group hug coming on. I bet you feel soooo much better with all this love flying around the place. Tomorrow we'll try being nice with pulling a face :). Oh, I'm just so thrilled for you. |
POTUS (5276) | ||
| 290521 | 2004-11-12 11:28:00 | Yeah,nice one. For what its worth people who come into my shop are given the advice that its whats in the box thats important,not what name is on the box. |

| 290522 | 2004-11-12 11:30:00 | >Using your theory, why the heck do we buy ready assembled cars? Surely, if one was inclined to put in the effort then they can easily get a better car than a Holden???< Because my work bench is a tad small for one, the parts are not readily available, i won't have to bugger around getting it certified, wof and registered and its difficult to assemble a car with a phillips screwdriver and needlenose pliers. >No, the point is that not every one is willing (or inclined) to put the effort in.< You would find that even the most auto illlterate of car buyers input a great deal of thought into a purchase , if not on the technical side then the financial side. Using your argument every one would be driving around in Ladas and Yugos. putting the same amount of input into a computer purchase is not an unrealistic expectation. |
