This is only marginally on topic, because it's an upgrade item for my
photo computer, but hey. I just needed to vent somewhere.
I'm on Amazon's list for Gold Box deals, which I pretty much ignore
because there's usually nothing I want to buy, and if I don't want to
buy it a better price isn't going to persuade me.
Today lo and behold I get notification that something. that I've had in
my Amazon Shopping cart for ages, is a Gold Box item. Hot damn,
something I want or need is actually on sale, at a door buster price!
Well no, not really, it's the same damned price it's been for the last
couple of months. But, maybe it's a different vendor that has that item
at a lower price...
So I start paging through the Gold Box deals. Geez, either the
programmers who write this stuff are surprisingly untallented, or Amazon
thinks their customers are surprisingly "simple"*. 288 pages of deals
on with duplicates on every second page of the exact item I've seen on a
previous page. What a freaking waste of time. I just gave up. If they
think I'm that easily influenced to buy crap they don't want my money.
*By which I mean actually mentally challenged.
