307467 2004-12-26 09:06:00 I sympathise with you too, Jack. It really brasses me off to see the price reduced just after buying something. Usually though, I spend so long procrastinating about what I want that things come down in price by the time I make up my mind. :p FoxyMX (5)

snap

and then I procrastinate even more because the price drop often means another model is coming out that could be even better :stare:

307470 2004-12-26 09:58:00 Do whatever you like Jack -but I agree with metla. How would you know they're top quality if it's the first ADSL modem you've brought. Since when did Belkein become a specialist in modem making? They're just supermarket modems, similar to HP and the likes (but then you have a HP don't you ;))

As for the price, would you rather pay $500 for a $50 item or $100 for an $80 item?

Ahem Cough


Jack, I'm honestly not suprised at your reaction. You've being like that since.... god knows.

Perhaps next time you do something -you may want to ask here first. It seems everytime your doing things your not supposed to. Who the heck buys a ADSL Modem/Router for $176....! :eek: I'd say it's your own fault.

sam m> I truly agree. I'd be leaving for work today hoping I won't get nasty customers.

What a self-righteous git you are ~sy~

I for one don't have a problem with Jack expressing his annoyance over such an annoying annoyance.

It pisses of everyone when that happens.

As for modem brand, Jack says he is happy with it. If he has bought something and he is happy with it, what is the point of insulting his choice, whether such things may be true or not.

Perhaps for future reference for others, but in cases like this it is rude.

Say you buy something - say a "great" new Packard Bell computer. Imagine you are very very happy with your purchase. Then someone comes along and says "You idiot, didn't you know that you could get it for half that price at blah? And what a crap brand it is, too!".

How would this affect how happy you were about the product?

Enough ranting. Someone answer my graphics card thread!

307475 2004-12-26 12:10:00 Sigh.

Well JJJJJ was just posting about having purchased a product and then seeing it discounted signficantly days later. It has happened to all of us, and yes it is annoying - but that is life.

I really don't think he needed to hear how his choice was crap or other such comments when he is obviously quite happy with his modem and didn't have a complaint nor asked your opinion on it.

~sy~, metla, baldy and ninja - there was no need to have digs at JJJJJ or another forum member in this thread. Try to keep things nice please.
