Cheap, nasty, obsolete PCs at Warehouse Stationary....

Yes, but the general public don't know this. It seems to me most people just want a PC to "Go on the Net and word process a bit", and don't care about specs. Probably the colour and other visual factors are more important. :rolleyes:

Perhaps they are wanting $US
If you come to a NZ based forum, populated with NZer's, it would be safe to assume any money values would be quoted in NZ dollars. Its not like its rocket science to do the conversion. :rolleyes:

Then, at least far too often, ring me all perplexed when some major components died 6 months later.
