I can pretty much relate to Kari's apprehension. However, I also feel not to deprive myself of an opportunity for an upgrade simply because of a bad experience from an unknown user, using an erstwhile unknown hardware.
Note that he did not mention the specifications of his computer. He merely stated that he has horrible experience with it. Question is, what happened along the way that gave him such experience? What were the specifications of his machine? I prefer to look and see it for myself because honestly, not all of us have the same specifications on our machines and testimonies from obscure persons, specially bad testimonies, I take with some grain of salt.
