could we cut and paste this into the intro threadBobTheDinosaur wrote:i've been in the pc business for years, i used to sell em and fix em, i started doing that when i was 15 and i enjoyed it a heck of a lot, i still build my own rigs and help friends out every now and then, but i decided that techies are a dime a dozen and i'd make a lot more money doing something that not every teenager can do just as well, i know enough about pc's to know that you can't do your PhD and still have enough time for the idiosynchracies of your average pc running an MS OS just so you can have a little recreational alien shooting fun, i've only recently gotten into macs and they're not all that great either, they crash too, and they don't even have good games!
take it to one of the * vs * threads, along the lines of this likely suspect
