[quote][quote]I marked 3 grand but I think it's a bit higher.
Makes me wonder how much I would have saved if I had just bought FS 9 instead of FSX Del. with Accel.

hmm, lets see..

Computer = $1,800

Memory Upgrade = $200

Scenery upgrades = $3,000 total over 6 years

FSX = $120

Saitek st290 pro stick = $20

Saitek X52 = $120

Addon Aircraft = $ 500

Addon Programs = $ 200


All in all.... Grand total = $5,960.



if you want to count the 30 or so calls to DELL to try and get Windows Repaired 3 different times EACH, at $100 a pop, thats over .... $9,000, does that count?

so with the Windows Repair $14,960

That's more money(over twice as much) than I have managed to save in the whole of my working life (76 years).... :o...!

How do you Blokes manage to get hold of so much money to throw at a Computer...legally?... :o...!

The computer really was the expensive part. I mostly do freeware so no need to worry about payware money.


I really need to get back in the game soon.
