Look, Kingfrog, I'm sorry, but if it stopped with just building the damn PC, you'd have a really good point. But even on this thread there are fulltime IT people. What possible reason do they have to exist if, once you had snapped your twelve components together, that was it...?

The hyperbole, or exaggeration on this thread if you will, I'm afraid comes from those that want (all evidence to the contrary) to try and persuade us that using a PC is EASY, problem-free, and takes no more time than penning a simple ditty...

I don't know ANY Mac IT people. How many IT PC people do you know? Oh, and just for the record, a component fails on a Mac, it is easy to replace, as well... (they aren't set in epoxy, you know!).

But once again, I'm flattered by all the attention... there are several others on this thread articulating exactly the same thing as me. But you don't seem to have any inclination to address THEM (or even notice that mine is not a lone opinion). What's up, Froggy? No-one else wants to play your game?
