Don't worry about me sending private email in the future... You're not only
a complete idiot, but you're rude as fuck as well.

No, actually, for those of us who live in the real world, it isn't as
important as you make it out to be. I'm not going to tell you the
processor speed, becuase that would only egg you on. Suffice it to say,
I use a cheap PC to record TV shows, with open source and a bit of custom
software. It works. Well. You can continue believing whatever you like.
I'm reminded of a joke I heard in college. An econ professor and a
student are walking over the quad. The student says, "Look, there's a
$20 bill on the ground!". The professor replies, "Nonsense. If there
were, someone surely would have picked it up."
