Sheesh

Viking Pundit may have a good case to make (his links are haywire, so I refer to his plea for a computer upgrade), but sheesh!  What about my rig?  A Timex-Sinclair?  With cassette tape?  Monochrome display?  People are always stopping me in the liquor store and saying, "Rodge, you really need to get out of the 1970's.  If you had a HP 854n (for only $1399), you could really be boss blogger.  Here, let me write you a check."

I'm no beggar, so I refuse.  No, I'll just slog along.  Unless.  Unless everyone who logs onto this site donates a miserable $2 to my Amazon begging cup.  Two filthy bucks.  If everyone did that, then I would be earning that HP 854n, and my site content would just blow you away.  But I guess Viking Pundit needs an upgrade for his state-of-the-art Compaq even more.  Thanks a lot, you pricks.

You can get a perfectly nice HP at WalMart for about $800.

C'mon, boost our profit sharing.

No, you need a new computer. You want the HP 854. There's a difference.

Now stop whining or you'll end up with an E-machine, Mister.

$2, are you kidding! You're a rich bastard with his own DSL connection and router now.

Oh great, Mike just looked at the 854n...and he's drooling. Thanks a lot.

No Michael, we don't need that either...though it does sound pretty sweet.

Kewl site - I don't know if this translates, but I just configured $1480 dream system (display not included). Yum yum.

Mike NEEDS it in order to put all your family film, tape and photos into a wonderful DVD, and surprise you on your birthday. So, it's really your HP 854n.

You're no help, you know. We need another computer like a hen needs a flag. And we already burn all our photos & such to CD.

For the last several months, he's been trying to convince me that we NEED one of those huge $4K flat liquid display tv things that also works as a monitor. I think we don't NEED to spend $4k to watch tv.

I need a 42" flat panel too, and here's good news Rita. BJ's is selling one for just $2995!

Posted by: Rodger Schultz on April 26, 2003 08:19 AM

Yes, and Sam's is now selling them for $2991. We still don't need it.

Maybe next year. You gotta keep goals in life you know.
