Aint that the truth



One reason I jumped in and got x2 was because one of my life-long

characteristics has been...if there is a spare slot...fill it up, If there

is a socket provided for something..put something in it.

second reason is it may also jack up the resale  value

(but then I usually GIVE good stuff away so I AM fooling myself)

 

Third reason economics...it was free.
