I use terms such as; diometric bioptric switch, electro-servo L.E.D., and my favorite catch-all, electro-magnetic field generating processor to get her attention about just how serious it can be if we don't upgrade very soon.

She might be catching on though, she pointed to the HDD activity light
the other day asking why it blinked the way it did. I told her it was the
wear-out warning light and instead of nodding her head in agreement, she
gave me one of those "looks".

OMGROTFLMAO!!!

You and I must be long lost brothers! That had me crying from laughing so hard!

Yeah, it's almost sad to see how far back and deeply my relationship with Newegg goes.

I do not recommend that any of my enthusiast brothers and sisters do this, it is not for the faint of heart. I added up all my purchases from Newegg since the beginning.

$10,199.05 total spent at Newegg. My first ever purchase
was for $118.98 at 5/9/2003 5:30:23 PM, it was a ASUS
A7N8X Socket A (Socket 462) NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400
ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail Item #: N82E16813131455

I also purchase from Performance-PC.com, ZipZoomFly (remember when they were called Googlesomething?), TigerDirect and a few other online places. And of course, at least every month or two will drop a couple Benjamins at our local MicroCenter :)

<edit> Hope my wife never figures out that one can see all purchases made from that place.

You got any of that stuff still at home... I'll run down there and take some stuff...

From my first year of purchases I don't honestly think I have any of it still
except a dual CPU AMD MP motherboard that was retired about 1 hour ago
in favor of the new C2D system that I ordered from the egg 3 days ago...
