Like I care? Im used to being laughed at, computer geek nerds with a 4.5 GPA stand out a little. (Yes 4.5, in my school district, if you are in "honers" classes, and pass them, you get an extra .5 on your GPA)
1. Am I supposed to be impressed?
2. If you're running a supposed 4/4 then you should be more open-minded
3. It's "honors" or "honours"

Just bc they're obsolete doesnt mean people dont use them. We have 6 computers in our house, and no jumpdrives or anything of the sort. My dad still has hundreds of the 5.25 inch floppys!
1. Buying a floppy drive from a store down the street = $5. Buying from OEM = $25. You're smart. You decide
2. I have hundreds of 5.25 floppies too, what's your point?

Dang. Weren't you supposed to be bright? One would think they wouldnt have to say it more than once.

YOU were the one who had said that floppies were obsolete.

One would think. But I am not normal, as you have probably found out.

You're point? Having floppies is one thing. Using them is another. GPA 4.5 should be able to deduce that

Does this mean that the 4.5 isnt weighted normally either

In either case, this pointless banter will cease ....hmmm ... now.

Have you considered building your own?

I figured YOU were bright enough to figure that out, so I wouldn't have to waste extra keystrokes...but then again, college people CAN be stupid sometimes...(not like I'm not LOL)

BTW, I think that whoever it was that started this thread should build their own computer. It is not necessarily easier, but you can get ONLY what you want, not any extra stuff that you don't need, or predownloaded crap.
