 Can you buy computer stuff at cash converters? I'd never thought of
that!

BL> And then I'd have to get an ISA network card when Wireless

 Why bother... been there, done that, chasing obsolete technology.
Bill Gates set the agenda: upgrade every three years, and then don't
support the old stuff; subtly change the new stuff so it makes the old
stuff slip into limbo.

 The *reality* of computers, is that we had all the performance we
needed five years ago. Win98 was good enough, but he keeps moving on,
building a bigger system that runs slower unless you buy a faster
computer, etc, etc. The best part of the joke is that Linux is doing
the same!

 In *reality* all I use a computer for was served perfectly well by
Win311 (ten years old - how time flies).
