I hate being broke.

Sorry, I did not intend it to be a slam on you.  I just think marketing Celeron as "2+ Ghz" is wrong.  It's like trying to sell a car by saying it's a powerful V8, but when examined you find it only has 150 Hp engine.

Oh, no offense taken! I agree completely, but hey, at some point an upgrade is an upgrade.

Things that make me want to scream: My Mom: Can you look at my computer, its running really slow lately. Me: Sure. Oh, I see. You have about 3GB of system tray and service apps running in about 512MB of Ram. My Mom: Is that a lot? Me: Do you really need "The Magic Talking Moose" screen bling thing running all the time? My Mom: How can I be out of memory, I thought I had 80 GB of space, not 512 MB. Me: Maybe I should just back up your data, drop your partitions, and reinstall your operating system. My Mom: Ok, I just need it for e-mail and the internet. And the talking Moose? Me: Gone. You can live without it, ok?

:D Sounds vaguely familiar. Especially the part about the talking moose/Bonzibuddy/weatherbug/etc.
