This is a great thread lol. I honestly couldnt agree more with everyone. When i had to buy a laptop for school it was $400. I complained about how expensive that was and blah blah blah.
At the last expo i spent close to $700 and came home with rats, various supplies, and 2 bps lol.

When you lay it out and compare it like that its like WOW but in the heat of the moment it doesnt seem like as much at all.
