Our work is on a 3 year upgrade cycle for computers. They replace 1/3 of the computers every year. If you follow that upgrade plan J.B. then it should be about time for you to re-upgrade the first component you upgraded 3 years ago

"Done Upgrading" is a bold statement.

haha! you're thinking about getting my "used" equipment!

it's downright impossible, as my TV/monitor is a Kuro and i can't upgrade to another one, and the recent "best of" in this equipment category are not good enough for that. i would be downgrading.

so, this is not your lucky day. ;-(

P.S.: you say "done upgrading" is a bold statement.
i can answer that by saying that since 1985 or so, 3 years ago was the first upgrade on my audio/video system.
also, another reason i say it's my last upgrade is because of my age.
i'm older than that.

:-)

That is the way equipment purchases should be done. I find it amusing that people want value their stuff so highly. The same people probably complain about the retail price of things and other people's used goods.

cost complaints are usual among people who upgrade often, which is not the case for me.
one way i like to calculate the cost of things i buy is a simple formula;
if i buy something that costs $1000 and "upgrade" after a year, then it has cost me $1000/year.
if i upgrade after 10 years, then the yearly cost goes down to $100/year.
a BIG difference; and it's much less budget stretching and, at the same time, a much lower personal physical/mental stress.

Good thinking J.B.

as written below your name, you're a "connoisseur". ;-)
