Trust me, I'm collecting a room full of PCs with this basic kind of problem...
The real reason is this: they call out onsite help (like any service) and they get told "hey, it's $75/hr" etc. and they may do it once, but after that, they just say "I'll spend $200 to get it fixed, or I can just go buy a new one and not have to worry about it" -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Johnson Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2005 11:45 AM To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] Disposable computers At 12:28 PM 7/17/2005, Ben Ruset typed: >I wonder how he'll feel when he has the same problems with his $400 >low-end PC in a week. I guess we have to remember it's there money even if we don't approve of the way they want to spend it. I know I can't earn $400 fast enough justifying buying another computer every time something little goes wrong. Heck it would be cheaper to buy some adware & av software even if all he did was accept the defaults but it's his money & time. ----------+---------- Wayne D.
