Were you already going to purchase a new windows PC? Is your time worth so little that you would look for an XP license and install it to something and drag it into a b&m store to save $100 on a windows PC from the microsoft store?
- Pxtl 13y agoMost geeks have one tech-toy they're contemplating buying at any given moment. If a $100 discount is enough to push them over? It's absolutely worth 20 minutes to rummage through your bin and find that old box you kept for spare parts. My time ain't free, but it's sure worth $100 for 20 minutes of rummaging.
- sliverstorm 13y agoscoff Your time is worth a pitiful $500/hour to you? ;)
- dudus 13y agopitful? What job pays that? If you manage to find a job that pays that amount you have $960,000 yearly salary.
- sliverstorm 13y agoI'm just poking fun at some of the people who swagger about on here, boasting their hourly rates.

- sliverstorm 13y agoWhy did I think an hour had 100 minutes? It wasn't even that early in the morning.

- massysett 13y agoHeck I've got two old laptops with practically dead batteries. I don't use them at all. Both have XP licenses; though I ran them with Linux, I since reinstalled Windows on one so it could serve as my "sacrificial Windows machine." I doubt I could even get $100 for them on Ebay. If I wanted a new computer anyway, then absolutely I would take them to the MS store and get the $100 if they had some decent machines in the deal.
