Re: [CGUYS] Another new Windows ad...
Ahh...you know what they say. Ignorance is bliss! :-) Plus, to be honest, how fast can you blink? For those that it takes upwards of a minute just to locate the correct button to click on, or the right key to press, whether the result of that click/keystroke takes almost the blink of an eye, or the full blink of an eye is simply not going to be noticeable. The people on this list are not your average go to WalMart or Best Buy and buy an off the shelf product kind of consumers. (Well, I am these days because there's not much I can't get right off the shelf anymore.) Basically, the laptop hunter ads are not targeted to those that populate this list I don't believe.

Re: [CGUYS] Another new Windows ad...
In truth, most average users have never torn down anything. They don't tear down their TV's to tweak it's performance, they don't tear down their IPods, or their gaming machines, or their cars. They buy something that does what they want it to do for the price they're willing to pay. Period. To imply that the average Joe knows anything more about their equipment than they read in some magazine somewhere is wrong. Donna In a message dated 4/7/2009 12:56:15 P.M.

Re: [CGUYS] First Place? [Was: Not cool enough [was re: Laptop
I dunno. As the mother of four boys that have been doing the whole game system thing since the Atari/Pong days, according to my kids, plus all of their friends for nigh on too many years to mention, our current XBox is better than anything that's come before. According to them, the XBox is far superior. Personally, I'm not real interested in the graphics, sound, or anything else that they seem to think makes it superior. After a couple of decades of being Nintendo clan, I was a bit surprised m'self...but it is what it is. Hasn't missed a beat since the original purchase. If it died tomorrow, I would have more than gotten my money's worth. PS. A lot of people make fun of us old folks that buy the WII fit. :-) Donna In a message dated 4/2/2009 8:56:12 P.M.
