| 1301647 | 2012-09-17 22:39:00 | I can see a good reason for having a dual boot on my laptop. When shopping on line I can use Linux. I can imagine them thinking oh that poor man he can only afford a laptop with Linux on it, we had better give him our goods for a cheap price. Reminds me how recently a friend bought a cheap push mower for $15 from 'The Garage' which is a second hand shop at the entrance to the Invercargill tip. We needed to find out how much it would cost to get the mower serviced. I went into one of the businesses that service these mowers, I was smartly dressed and wearing a tie. I was told it would cost about $80. As I walked out I could hear a conservation where someone asked why did you not quote a lower price. The answer was that I looked as though I could afford it. Lesson here - when inquiring about the cost the cost of repairs make sure that you wear shabby clothes. :D |

On average this was found to be an 11 per cent increase, with some customers on Macs spending up to 30 per cent more than their PC-using counterparts. :lol: :D |
