Same is true for automobiles - the ones who really appreciate them can't
afford them.

One thing I used to notice back when I worked tech support at an ISP:

The people who NEED good computers (ISP techs, sysadmins, etc) have 
old crappy machines held together with duct tape & bailing wire and
trips to Goodwill.

The people who DONT need good computers (doctors, lawyers, etc - the people
who use their computers ONLY for stuff like email, wordperfect, lotus/
excel, etc) have the 2Ghz 200Gig Athlons with the 24" monitors.

Anybody else ever notice this?

Bill
