Quote - In essence, I'm saying that you should look for the latest-greatest from a year ago and buy that!  By this time, it will be at least half the cost and still be very powerful.

Given the age of my current computer, stuff from a year ago will be hugely powerful for me!!!! I can't even imagine what that will be like because I've had space issues and speed issues and memory issues ever since I bought a computer.

If it wasn't for my driving need to use Poser and the problems that I'm encountering with  my computer for the past few weeks, I would be completely happy to keep the desktop that I have because it meets my needs in every other way.

So essentially I really only need a  larger hard drive, way more RAM and a faster processor. But because of the age of my computer and it's existing components, I can't upgrade to anything more than what is in there already, which is why I am needing to buy a whole new system.  If I was able to upgrade just the hard drive and get the RAM that I wanted, that's all I would be looking into right now.  It's also why I'm looking to get more than what I need in a computer so that I can grow into it and upgrade or add things as I need without having to go and buy a whole new system again when I reach the max capability of the computer like I have with this one.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
