Time to stock up on the Vaseline...

Seems a mite pricey for something you won't actually own.

Flint · 08-29-2006, 03:49 PM

I can't wait to see how much of my resources this thing hogs, trying to chew my food and wipe my ass for me.

I've heard the minimum specs are something like 1GB of RAM and a 128MB vid card...MINIMUM.
Hooray for OS's driving hardware development!

Those specs are if you want to run the pretty Aero interface blah blah blah. You can get by with 512mb of RAM and a somewhat decent processor. (According to our Microsoft Rep at work). My computer is ready because I have quad hampsters, the external handcrank, and my 14 inch monochrome TV hooked up. Oh, and the modem box thingy. :p
But yeah, as far as prices, I haven't heard exactly how much each version is. Good question to ask the rep the next time he comes in.

You have a Microsoft rep? How do you keep from locking him in the supply closet and torturing him?

That thought never crossed my mind! hmmm......maybe score some free copies of Windows or something! haha Nah, he's pretty cool. He's about the only real rep that comes into the store with any information for us.

One more day, and I can give LJ back the squirrel. Although I've gotten kinda used to it.

Calm down! Those are Canadian dollars, not real money.

Flint · 08-30-2006, 08:33 AM

Oh, well I have plenty of leaves and twigs in my backyard. Do you have change for a chunk of tree bark?

The link doesn't work. 404'ing.

Anyone know/remember what the price range was?

Elspode · 08-30-2006, 02:39 PM

I believe it was "WTF?!" at the low end, to "You filthy, greedy, scumsucking evil sons of a motherless goat from Hell" on the high end...
