my first pc was a broken one- i started out by fixing it.
It had a virus on it and all the floppys that came with it- me not knowing about viruses, figured it was a memory issue ("PARITY ERROR B")
I know how to build systems and know quite a bit about the workings etc- But these days it IS getting cheaper to buy a system new thaqn to build one. I think the manufacturers saw what was about to happen and lowered the prices accordingly. i think.
