i like windows xp it's my favorite version of windows and my third favourite os but a mate of mine decided to try and sell me a computer from 2002 running the most basic version of windows xp for 3000 even though it took 5 minutes and 23 seconds to boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[conowizard]

am i the only one with friends that no idea what there doing?

3000 what? Roubles? Yen? Zimbabwe Dollar?

 

Either way, computer illiterate people rarely know what their stuff is worth. Plenty of people think a "really old computer" from 2002 is worth something now. Guess what, your junky old Dell (Y-u-no-die)mension with a Cuntium 4 is worth -$1,000,000. Gotta pay to get rid of it mate

yeah he would have to pay me $3000 to use it.

Note the - symbol before the dollar sign. That means in order to use it, the other person has to pay me a million. I'd rather expose my dong to a ceiling fan than daily a P4.

whats worth $375 aud? The 2002 computer, no.

 

If its a p4 Id say its worth $0-10. Really depends on why the person is buying it, whether it be the case, or the spare parts. I cant really picture someone thinking its worth $3000 or even $375 though.

To think my dad bought a full option Dell Dimension XPS Pentium II desktop in 1998 for like 4000 guilders, man PCs were expensive.

No, but petrol stations do and with current pricing here at least, that's pretty close to a bank
