Guru? lol I showed my 3 yo nephew how to use a computer and Vista ( I'm

understand icons and use internet explorer to click links and look at

pictures etc.

Techs and IT Professionals. Right....

 

So what about the other 99.99% of users out there that aren't techs or IT

professionals?

Like the poor white trash of the Old South, Frank needs someone to look

down on in order to justify his existence. Pathetic, ain't it?

I tell them to read the fine print. Know what your needs are and know

what you're buying. Ask yourself if saving say $100 is really worth $100.

Ask knowledgeable friends for their opinion (I get a lot of that!) and

then make an educated decision.

That way you're more likely to be happy with your decision.
