Ever wonder
what kind of car a NASCAR driver has in his driveway?
Or what song Bono (from U2) is playing on his iPod?
Here's a peak inside of PC's techno world.
First off, I'm not one to always
upgrade every time something new comes out. I
believe in using something until it becomes inefficient.
My lawn mower is 15 years old...and guess what... it
still works. But if it takes me twice as long to
mow my lawn then a new mower would, I'd be at Home
Depot the next weekend. (Hopefully you get the
point)
