My first PC was a Micron. I don't remember the specs at this point but the machine was fast, every component in it was well-chosen and standard, and the case was roomy and easy enough to get into that I was still using it long after sw

To clarify I meant "more reasonable" in terms of getting the number of painkillers I actually needed to comfortably heal from my surgery. I don't find them habit-forming, fortunately, and agree that the anti-narcotic backlash
