Ever read the computer section in a free-ad newspaper?

I swear to god last year I saw someone expecting £400 for a 486.

people buy it too

I think the logic to a certain ludite type of mind that if it is in the free ads it has to be a bargain. There are pipe smoking men by the score out there standing proudly next to 133mhz beasts bought for £300 proud of the saving they made when they almost bought the latest dell budget model for £320.

Sad but true.
