A month ago I bought a new laptop and a solid state drive to go with it. The drive cost about $140. As with EVERYTHING I EVER BUY that's computer hardware, a few weeks later it's 40% cheaper. And it was the ONE drive they put on sale. Is the universe ****ing with me?
I recall many years ago I bought a $500 video card, top if the line, can practically make me dinner. A few months later Nvidia puts out this breakthrough new line of video cards that had 60% performance increases on even the base models compared to my video card. AND it was all done on the new PCI-E standard so I couldn't upgrade.
I also bought a great sound card. Now I figure this wouldn't happen because that line of cards hadn't been improved upon in years.
OF COURSE, a year later Creative Labs puts out a new line of yet another breakthrough set of sound cards. People claimed they were unbelievable and that no one knew sound cards would ever really be improved.
Thus goes the story of my life.
