Hello Gordon - 

GH> In an attempt to stay on topic - this message addresses the
GH> slim availablilty and high prices of computers in Michigan
GH> just north of Detroit. CA supports this with an appeal to
GH> authority - he lives there. GH argues that CA admits he
GH> won't price Costco - and therefore fails on the facts. 

What is this Gordon? You're going a bit over the edge I suspect. 

This discussion was about the pricing of _used_ computers. Your
constant references to COSTCO was part of a discussion some
months ago about the pricing of blank CDs which is entirely
irrelevant to the cost of used computers to those of us with
our feet on the ground. ;-) 

CA>> Next time you are here collect all those 'free' computers
CA>> and leave them at the church of your choice and I will
CA>> come pick them up. :-) 

GH> I'd do it except I have no confidence in you. 

You'd belabor the point then back down. You apparently just
like to argue? 

CA>> You really get into this eh? I don't remember the
CA>> conversation other than the "I don't go there" part
CA>> re:Costco. btw: I _still_ don't go there! 

GH> That's what I mean - your're talking like ignorance was a
GH> virtue. 

Gordon you are becoming egomaniacal here. You don't tell me
where to shop - you do understand this don't you? 

CA>> Visiting Detroit means what to me? I'm here 24/7, 7 days a
CA>> week, for over 50 years now. :-) 

GH> If a visitor can find these bargains - why can't you? 

To begin with I'm not convinced that you found anything. You're
manner of discussing this leaves me highly skeptical about
anything you say at this point. 

GH> If you don't explore your surroundings what you actually
GH> have is two years experiance repeated 25 times or more. 

That's very astute of you to think of that. I've heard it
before but it's always entertaining. :-) 

CA>> 'Visitors' don't pull rank on me Gordon, they just don't. 

GH> You missed the point - I am a native. 

You live in California during your more rational moments. 

CA>> That's one out of how many people? 

GH> Of the people I was talking to? One of one. 100%. (At the
GH> ham lunch, we usually talk about radios.) 

How was the food? 

GH> Let's see ... there were seven of us... Ron volunteered the
GH> remark. Jim asked for and received a new (to him)
GH> motherboard. Wayne remarked that the 25 laptops he'd been
GH> given have been absorbed and that he expects 17 desktops to
GH> come this week. The other lively topic was UPS batteries
GH> but I don't remember the details. 

GH> Anyone willing to become a ham and join the Radio Amateur
GH> Civil Emergency Service in Ventura County Region 6 can get
GH> a computer from Wayne. (I'll have to ask about the
GH> situation in Royal Oak.) 

Becoming a 'ham' isn't like signing up. Takes time and I would
guess requires some equipment? 

GH> (Wayne got to shake hands with Ahn-old at the La Concita(?)
GH> landslide.) 

Arnold is a character. Not sure what _else_ but he is
definitely a character. 

CA>> I only pointed out that _everyone_ doesn't have people
CA>> pushing good used computers at them _all_ of the time. 

GH> That was not my claim ; I have no confidence in you. 

It was your claim that cheap used computers are everywhere. Tom
Walker and I disagree and now you're inconsolable. 

I'm sorry I bothered to mention this to you it seems to have
put you in a foul mood. :-(

Let's stop this now.  It's becoming circular and doing neither
of us any good.
