Lines: 12 Edward Bennet... This man sounds like a fool. I'm a college student, and so I know a LOT of college students -- but I don't know ANY that have any excess money. College is QUITE expensive, but I think a computer even costing up to 1500 or $2000 would be acceptable to many Although he's probably on the right track, I disagree with one point (off the top of my head). Nobody (I MEAN NOBODY) wants a flat-panel BW monitor. Even if I didn't have too much money (which I don't), I'd be willing to pay a LITTLE more for a color monitor... I don't like little LCD screens. They're always hard to read. Otherwise, there's some good ideas.
