My opinion is irrelevant and I understand that. Having said that, I've always thought that taking that state job is one of the best decisions of your life. I know someone who retired from a state job and he is set for the remainder of his life.

Agree, I know several retired people that had “state jobs” and they now get great pensions, and more important, get paid medical benefits! If you can stick it out to retire, you’re all set!

I just got a 3,000 dollar desktop. What's your excuse?

Did you get a Mac?

Winblows, because I enjoy gaming.

They have these tiny macs now that are supposed to be very powerful. Say hello to the M2 Pro Mac Mini...

That would probably work very well for cars.

I lurve my Mac. I wish it could live as long as me.

Never in a million years would I have guessed you are a gamer. Never.

I hate how they force you to upgrade hardware every 4-5 years. It's greedy beyond comprehension. Sickening.

I'm a low-tier gamer. Have about 100, most of them I don't play. Serious gamers have hundreds, sometimes several thousand.

Have you heard of "e-sports"? Professional gamers playing virtual sports for serious money. Is that crazy? I think so.

I heard about it, or something like it, around Christmas time. There was a serious discussion about it on a news segment. It's thing. Ha!

Yes My grandson started playing gaming sports when his he was in high school. 
   He was so good at it, that his teacher said he could be a professional gamer. 
   He really loves gaming, he told his parents and they sent him to a college 
   Florida Southern, that has a specialized gaming program to attend.
   He has excelled so well in his gaming skills that his professor has made him
   the team leader of his team. And he is only a freshman, and the team has             sophomores , juniors, and seniors. He intends to become a professional gamer. 
He has already made several thousand dollars, when his team wins, and they 
always win they make money. He loves gaming, so if he loves his job, he’ll love
going to work, it won’t be work to him. The college recruited him from High School 
giving him a ample scholarship! 
His parents were skeptical at first, but thrilled now. His major is computer science.

 I’m am a Damn procrastinator, I went to Best Buy geek squad to have my I-phones that has a virus 
fixed, they could not fix it. So I’m stuck with my sick I phone. Can’t down load virus into new phone again,  as I already did with the phone I have now downloaded from my old phone that had the virus. 
Anyway, while I was there I looked at Lap Top computers, I talked to a salesman about my needs that I needed to download 2 old hard drives into the laptop. He told me the best one I should consider. 
I’m still considering them, damn procrastinator I am!

I'd get a macbook pro unless money is an issue. Much better performance.

Why did you go to best buy to get service for an i-phone? Their service is pretty poor, unless you get lucky.

I'm a procrastinator too. I swear I'll get that Car Shield insurance someday. New eyeglasses and couch too.

I'm never getting an Apple product. My 4^th generation Ipod was such a piece of shit. Not easy to use.
