[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 112411, member: 16"] I guess for $14.99 you can't complain about the price. I'm still not going there. I have XP Pro on the desk top and Win 7 Pro on an old T61 Lenovo lap top. Both work great.....never had a problem with either one of them. I build my own computers, so I'm funny like that. :) Which brings me to my biggest peeve of all.........prices like $14.99. I mean...seriously.....are they ashamed to add that extra penny to round it off to $15? Do they really think they're fooling anyone with numbers like that? I think the general public are a lot more market savvy in this day and age than they were back when "marketing" people started messing with how merchandise is priced. $49.99........it's 50 bucks, people! $99.99.......you're dropping a C note, boys and girls! And of course this one always kills me...ONLY $999.99............it's a grand, ladies and gents! Gawd! OK, I'm done ranting. :) [/QUOTE]
