| 196176 | 2003-12-02 00:19:00 | Thats true, I guess I would be in more danger from friendly fire then any Iraqi militants. Maybe I should have said... the day I walk up to an American Army base in Iraq with a large trench coat on while holding up a sign saying "Not a suicide bomber". | Barnabas (4562) | ||
| 196177 | 2003-12-02 00:23:00 | Surely its too hot in iraq to wear a trenchcoat anywhere. | metla (154) | ||
| 196178 | 2003-12-02 00:32:00 | Yes; it'll probably be one of those robe-like things they wear ;) | agent (30) | ||
| 196179 | 2003-12-02 00:33:00 | Ok I give up, Im just not going to buy a computer from Farmers...ok. No Iraqi militants, no Americans, no trenchcoats and no Hyundi Computers. | Barnabas (4562) | ||

How about I volunteer my services as a proof reader, free in exchange for the entertainment factor? Unless you actually want to provide them with free entertainment. :p :D > Maybe i'll just walk through farmers today and glare at the staff..... And the poor people will have no idea what they have done to deserve that. :D You would be better off standing outside Farmers with a protest placard but don't forget to tip off the local press first. :p :D |

One key point you seem to have missed. They have protected themselves in the add by using the words "... on the market". It may not be the best gaming machine money can buy, but how many better gaming machines can you buy pre-built (ie not custom designed etc.)? Probably not many (if any). And more than likely, Farmers would consider the "market" to be their direct competition, which wouldn't include your local computer stores - it'd include Noel Leeming, Dick Smith, and nationwide computer chains, none of which tend to sell machines like the one Farmers is advertising. You might well be able to go and buy parts and build a better gaming machine (probably for close to the same price), but it won't be a machine that's currently on the market, therefore it doesn't void Farmers' advertisement. The "standard set by high-end gaming machines" will more than likely have been set by custom machines rather than off the shelf models like the Farmers model. On top of that, the FX5200 would probably out-perform most other graphics cards in pre-built machines out there, most of which would perform more than adequately on the latest games. Mike. |
