Re: The Truth About Space Empires IV
"The more things change, the more they stay the same"
Ive had some pocket-rules about PC tech which have held fairly true for a long time. Like when people say "should I wait for the price to come down" I tell them that prices havent come down in years. Basically its $1000 for the computer people are starting to get rid of, $2000 for the one everyone has, and $3000 for the one they want if they could just swing the cash.
Then of course I often end up in the personal server territory when talking about the left over pieces and thats where the surprises come in. If you buy one then the prices shift to $200, $500, $1000 respectively. And when they ask about filling in things like graphics/sound/harddrive I tell them to go absolute minimum since no shop can give you one too small. People are surprised that it takes far less machine to server their needs than their desktop machine. And the only things worth spending money on are CPU and memory.
