[geeks] Anybody can borrow me $10k? hehe....

[Geek]

See, Josh, what you are talking about is overkill for me. I would have
no use for such a high end computer, not to mention dual monitors and a
terabyte of storage or 20 xserves and a video wall. The most I need for
my daily existence and even my extra stuff is a P4 1.5 GHz, with about
128 MB of vid. Perhaps it is just me, but I just don't do anything high
end like that. Am I the only one who just wants a computer that does
basic things and maybe a little graphically intense stuff like gaming
and stuff.

| I think certain macs should count.

| Besides, it is easy to need over $10k for a mac.  One dual proc 1.2ghz

xserves

and

equivelent
