...that my mom, age 53, just spent over $2,000 on a Dell XPS400 with a 24" flatscreen monitor and tons of other unnecessary crap....to check her email and play tetris?
but in other matters, how decent of a computer is this?

she's foreign, and old.
so the combined effect of being foreign, old AND female = bad electronics choices.
unfortunately, she is very gullable and just about any salesperson can talk her into something totally unneeded 2/27/2006 9:39:45 PM |

And that is why if you work in a comission based retail job long enough, you will eventually barter away your soul. It's just the way of things. Look into those 30-40 year old guys working at radioshack. You think that vacant sad look in their eyes is just because they're 30-40 years old and working at radioshack? Well maybe, but it's also because their job has slowly forced them to trade their souls for comission. 2/27/2006 10:09:51 PM |
