No Gary, thats not the same thing AT ALL. you couldn't have picked a worse analogy. There are so many more factors to back up my beliefs on the surge protection issue.

Gil, you clearly aren't old enough yet to formulate mature, common sense conclusions. We'll check back with ya in a year. You know the saying, another year older another year wiser.

So Al and Gil, let me try to understand your logic. What your telling me is that it has to happen or else you won't protect yourself from it? That's like saying you'll get gas AFTER you run out, or install smoke detectors AFTER your house burns to the ground. 

now see thats where i draw the line. a computer is just a thing. it can be replaced. i know your just saying an example, but a computer can be replaced if it happens to be fried during a storm

so you just have money lying around to throw away on a new computer, when you could've protected your old one in the first place?

[Al]

first - i said it can be replaced. secondly - my computer is over 5 years old. thirdly (if thats even a word) - i never said i was willing to buy a new one. i don't need a computer (now anyway) college is a different story, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. the other thing of your concept is that you learn from your mistakes, even if you know what your doing can cost you to lose it.

Where do you get off? You seem to be able to criticize others and their capabilities, but what can possibly describe you? Let's just say if someone actually had the guts to say it (and i sure as hell know a hanfull of people here who think the same way), they would be banned indefinitely....

You better watch it. You're never going to get anywhere in life by being a to everyone you meet.

Think about it, even though you're going to delete this post. (how mature of you)

Does anyone here remember the department store Strawbridge and Clothier (Strawbridge's)? While it wasn't my favorite, that was a pretty good store. It was absorbed by Macy's, which is .
