Happy Birthday, Mr. Fluffy!
As the father of an 18 year old boy and 16 year old girl (who both have computers in their rooms), I must advocate "Power To The Elderly!!!"
I built the home network they need to access the Net. I networked the printers on a standalone print server so they can always print. What do they need faster computers for???
Anyway, my son is getting ready to start at University of Texas, Austin, in August, so he'll be spec'ing his new PC soon. I told him "the more scholarship money you line up, the better the PC." I hope I have to build him a monster.
