Finn said:Nonsense. At least as long as you know what to buy, and when to buy. With a bit of knowledge anyone can make his or her rig stand the test of time from two to three years without any major compatibility issues. And that doesn't mean buying state-of-the-art parts either.
That's exactly what I was talking about when I said "And if you're not a computer wizard who knows how to play with the settings and software, you're screwed." What I described above is fact, coming from hard personal experience, so if you label my lack of knowledge as nonsense, which to me is one step removed from calling me ignorant and that the fault lies only with myself, then you're insulting my intelligence, blaming me for not reading each edition of some computer magazine, blaming me for not going for a degree in computers in college, blaming me for making the wrong purchase choices and almost accusing me of violating some elite club by actually owning a computer.
I always respected you here, Finn, but saying that when you know nothing about me or the past seventeen years I've been actually using computers, has really shocked me. Seventeen years in which I learned quite a bit, but after which I still find myself put against the wall by these kind of software problems now and again. Perhaps you have always been lucky in that regard, but I'm hardly the only one who finds himself lost in that world from time to time.
