I think you are wrong, the more people that are WARNED about some of the
conmen, cheats and garbage pedlers that try and sell there **** in this
area for generally inflated prices, the better it will be for all users.
It's not a case of buyer beware, it's a case of buyer be warned. I'm afraid
if thats a little hard to swallow then tough luck. I don't think most
people will complain if they learn that some clown it trying to take
advantage of their lack of knowledge.

As a Sysop and a Computer Consultant to Business, it never ceases to amaze
me just how lacking in knowledge some of the socalled dealers in here are
and the inflated prices they try and RIP of people.

If I see something that is blatantly inflated, I will have NO hesitation in
posting a message to that effect.

I agree cheap is not always the best, but when it comes warranty time and
you bought it COD off some person that you don't even know what he looks
like, Best of luck getting it.

       Cheers Shane.
