How can you afford it?

[how.about.another.slice]

After being away several months, I notice many of the same faces are still spending all day posting, despite their assurances that they work. One even spent a whole day waiting until 5.30 pm before posting just to prove she is employed!!! (only people unemployed or on benefits for years would assume the average work day is still from Nine-to-Five LOL!)

My question is, how do you afford to be here so much? Do you live off savings, an inheritance, divorce settlement, or do you simply chat from a library or a second hand notebook on limited internet usage?

To get a decent computer costs at least $2000 and without good internet connection, chatting on a forum isn't even worth it, so are these regulars going into debt over the boards? Would a bank even loan or credit them enough to supplement their activites and time usage here?

It's all very puzzling...

I wonder if those who "blindly" assert they must have FTH NBN realise that?  I have never spent more than $300 on a computer (complete) in some 30 years, and run 2 desktops, as I have never been a fan of laptops.

Some of us know exactly what we need it for and how we can use it.  Some don't seem to realize how bad the old network is in some areas and that HFC is not available to everyone.  Don't judge everybody elses needs based on your own. How many people in your household?

I don't care what you say about the Mighty Viper.

I think it rocks!

it's built to my specifications, so it suits my needs and I didn't have to spend $2000 for a bunch of stuff I didn't need just so I could get my jollies and boast about it on CS

plus it's red.

this is a stock photo of it

And, shocking though it might seem, there are actually some casual or occasional users who are able to look beyond their own needs and see the bigger picture..

Your words, yet you constantly try to tell others that what they need is Ultra fast NBN. and nave no qualms about it being forced on to everyone even if they don't need or want it.

I have not told anybody else what they need nor have I told anybody else they have to use it.

ROFL

just looks like a regular keyboard that glows in the dark LOL - glows yellowy green. (can't find one that glows red to match the MV!)

the black widow was heaps better, nicer feeling keys and had jacks in the keyboard whereas the stalker doesn't. the stalker however, appears to work. so far......
