>>26 And what exactly do I not understand?
Your insistence that you don't have to live without anything infers that you feel entitled to anything. When you go on about how you can use your $5000 computer to run the emulators of eight videogame systems, and that you're going to be running high end software that likely costs hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, it implies one of two things:
1) You are some rich snob who doesn't comprehend the value of money, does not empathize with the struggle people have with finances, and therefore cannot appreciate money's value. Therefore you do not see the wisdom of moderation and safe spending practices.
OR
2) You buy a high end computer and then feel that you can justify the purchase by stealing hundreds to thousands of dollars in intellectual property.
So which is it?
