you know, when an IT bod talks to a novice, there’s a lot of beating about the bush and going off into the ‘technicalities of things’ when one is asked a question to which a simple answer will suffice.

unfortunately, he came off as a dodgy car salesman trying the hard sell.

Green or not, I want a PC I can tinker with and one that is the best bang for my buck. I don’t spend extra on organic vegetables .. I definitely won’t spend extra on a pc. (but that’s just me)

Stupid marketing idea that ignores all the metals in the chips. Did I mention disposal? But PCs are not green – unless u paint them. Stupid marketing idea that ignores all the metals in the chips.
