| 250391 | 2004-07-08 02:08:00 | But it's had the effect that the advertising agencies measure: you'll remember the name. :D Most advertising aims to irritate. If it was pleaseant, polite, and didn't insult your intelligence you wouldn't notice it. |

| 250392 | 2004-07-08 05:42:00 | We don't do ad campaigns like this all the time, and apparently the popover ad is capped at 3 views - so you *should* stop seeing it. | Mary H (769) | ||

I > would love to have a top spec'ed HP or Compaq granted a man would be a fool to turn down a free comp,but have you ever worked on these brands or know anything about them? Seen all the useless resource hogging software that exsists for no reason then to slow the system and cause instability?,or the below spec components,or the cost of repair when out of warrenty? Ever tried to extract much needed instalation files off a recovery cd? Or gone to upgrade a simple video card only to discover the "top spec" system has a tiny little 120w psu that wont be able to run the new gear? Those in the know have good reason for what you like to refer to as brand snobery,its called knowledge. |
