Hello Greg - 

CA>> I try not to tell other people what hardware they should
CA>> use. It's really quite rude IMO. 

GM> Indeed it is. And frustrating to someone like me who can't

GM> People tell me how they can buy used Pentiums for $50 in

GM> after the essential bills are paid I ain't got $50 to spare
GM> either. 

I am the fortunate recipient of other people's ignorance. The
dump what they have for a newer machine. I tweak the old one
and have 3/4 of what their newer machine can do. ;-) 

CA>> It's comparable to telling an employee who arrives late
CA>> due to car trouble to buy a new car. Very unrealistic to
CA>> tell others what to spend their money on and when. 

GM> Exactly! 

GM> Although in the case of an employee, the boss does have
GM> some power to tell him what he should be doing. That's one
GM> of the privileges of being the boss. 

No, not really. I've had owners try to tell me what to do with
my money and told them once I earned it it was not their
concern any longer. 

GM> But for someone who is no more than a casual echopal to say
GM> you should do this or that... well, really! 

I don't think people _mean_ to be rude they just don't think.
