For that reason, I always found it odd that people treat computers like cars. "Ford vs. Chevy" becomes "Oh, you have a Gateway, but *I* have a DELL". Who gives a crap who put the parts together?

But of course, Dave has more expertise in this area, so he may have some counter-points to offer.
Your post got posted before mine so I'm not ignoring your imput Juju. Yeah, I kinda was thinking the same thing. I was figuring who ever is cheaper (monetarily, not quality wise) was the best bet for me since I'm not all that wealthy.

PS---BTY, Chevy's Rule .

And porn.

She herself argued for her own worthlessness and I am taking her position.

Ha! I can see the 'Toad is still using unreliable and uninformed sources. Where's your link? I'm not convinced without a link.

Off-Topic:

My roommate recently purchased a computer for only a little over 220 dollars. This was, however, excluding various parts which he scrounged up; the monitor, mouse, and networking card.

Also, he bought somewhat peculiar parts, like an 8 meg ATI video card, and 128 megs of RAM.

Unfortunately, he didn't get a modem. We have an ethernet connection between the new computer and this old machine, which does have a modem. It's pretty old and clocks in at not much faster than wolf's dead computer, so our internet isn't very fast at all :'(

So, you're saying that her posts were of value to you in proving your point?

ROTFL

The dialog with you and Juj is just too much for my aching sides.
