Jim's New Computer & Desk

Jim's new Dell Dimension 8400 computer and mahogany desk. Few things depreciate faster than computers. Did you know that computers double in speed and halve in price every 18 months?

Jim's 4-year-old HP computer has been operating on its last legs (and quickly declining on a daily basis) for months now.

Finally, we realized that his trusty old HP could no longer handle all of the memory-intensive programs that he uses on a daily basis. It wasn't operating up to par in terms of speed anymore either, taking way too long to: a) load certain programs and b) process certain tasks.

After much research (and 2nd and 3rd opinions from experts in the field), we found that we could score a deal on a brand new high-tech Dell Dimension 8400 computer, we quickly snatched it up. Plus, they were running all sorts of specials including free upgrades, doubled-capacity hard drive & RAM, and free shipping!

The documentation says that this computer is so far ahead of its time... it was built in such a way to be among the top-of-the-line ADVANCED level computers today, and to remain among the top-of-the-line ENTRY level computers for 5 years from now. (In other words, what is considered high-tech and "advanced" these days, will be considered mainstream and entry level computers 5 years from now.)

So now Jim's on a Dell computer with XP at home, I'm on a Dell computer with XP at work, and I've got a 3-year-old Pionex with Windows 2000 that's still serving me quite well at home.
