There are or were several just like it on gunbroker for under $1000, including all the accessories, though there are several hammer 9mms around that probably would outshoot it for much less. |

There are or were several just like it on gunbroker for under $1000, including all the accessories, though there are several hammer 9mms around that probably would outshoot it for much less. Too much. I like the gun, but I've got to save up for a computer. Got a grandson graduating high school this year. They get a laptop as a graduation present, if they've been accepted at a university. This one has an Apple, with all the bells and whistles, on his Christmas list. That's not going to happen. I'll surprise him at his graduation. Three neices, one nephew, and now a grandson. These damn computers are keeping me in the poorhouse. I would buy an off lease W/7 machine. Most of those "bells and whistles" are just for bragging rights. If you ask a kid what kind of car they need to get back and forth from school they will want a Porsche or something. Geez, all the cheap skates aren't on hockey players! :) And here, Nephew George, are four nicely used tires for that '71 Pinto I got you last year, and a pair of slightly used high top sneakers that still have plenty of bounce left in them, and a dozen condoms, used only once, that I handwashed, dried, and rolled for you. Enjoy college. Greg had the same first thought I did. I checked with his dad to see if the kid really needed that much computing power, or if he was into some heavy gaming. The kid plays no games on his computer! You can find some very capable machines coming off lease right now. Nah, gotta be new. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
Interesting gun. I don't have one...

Find someone who has a friend or relative who works for Apple. They can get you family pricing. I think it was 20% discount. |

"Sounds like a lot to me. What are they doing to need that much power?" Gaming....that's what my son says to me.......usually followed by how little capability I need for what I do. That is true. Game machines are usually 3x what a regular person needs for just about anything and if you are just "computing" (not doing video mostly) the needs are very modest. You can do just about anything you want with audio, using a P1 166. If you are only doing bookkeeping, word processing and database work, that is still a lot more machine than you really need. I will say "Flash" has become very bloated. With Flash 10 you can watch Netflix and the like with a 2gz P4 and a gig of RAM but if you load 20, you need at least a 3g P4 or a dual core and 2G of RAM to see the same content. I have both running side by side and there is no difference I can see on a 60" TV between Flash 10 and 20. It sounds like the scam Andy Grove and Bill Gates came up with that Grove will make faster machines and Gates will puff up the software to sell them. |
