  You Just Don't Understand, George.  I don't play games (and I resent
the insinuation); I outgrew that when I was about thirteen.  eBay is a
way to get things that I want or need without paying a fortune. (I'm
broke these days, remember?)  An ethernet card for my router for $40
last night, for example...The last vendor I asked wanted $595 for it.

  I really wish you could understand this.
