I have lost... due to 2 coin tosses.
First, we must talk about peer pressure. Not to say that it isn't real, but it is very subtle, insignificant enough not to notice about it.
It reels into you slowly, like odourless vapor that slowly churns you inside out. TThen before you know it, you start to lose your ground, and begin to compromise more and more.
I have an unreal and another rich enthusiastic, with the former buying the latest stuff like it doesn't cost money to him. His favourite tag line to me is, "Jason! Invoice me this now!"
So this is what happened.
I'm using 7600GT now, DX9 architecture. Bought for $196.
Target: 8800GTS, DX10 architecture. Can last for another 3 years, high end stuff. $462.
Difference: $266
Previous difference: $463
That is what that caught my attention. 43% price drop!
With me, I buy depending on my needs, and also stuff of very good benefit:cost ratio.
But I still do not want to spend my money, not easy to earn you know. So I decided on a coin toss. So...
You know what happened.
light my way ♥
