The real estate agent did not come yet, passing time ....
 
 
 For that ISP job, I need a nother computer so I can train myself properly. AT the local computer store there is an upgrade combo, which includes a Celereon 2.0 Processor, and MB, Memory and case at 305 bucks. I wanted to get that combo with a 2.2 celeron processor which is only 5 bucks more than 2.0 Gig version. They said to me before that I could not subsititute parts. yesterday night after trucking we went to the same store with the kids and I asked again, and again they said no.  
 
 I finally gave in and ordered it that way as paying for each piece with the added taxes and no combo discount would cost me 25 bucks more than the combo. As I was talking with the guy, he mentioned that I would get the slow ram with the combo as that is what the combo included, and I said, can I at least upgrade that, the fast ones are 1 buck more, he said, yeah sure we can do it for thet. so my total cost became 307 bucks. He took the stuff to the cashier who ringed 360 bucks with the taxes, I said nope, not correct, re do it, the guy came, apologized said he put the wrong case in, and increased the case price to 59 bucks from 49, which made the price go up to 372. I was lil bit upset as I was expecting to pay 353 with the taxes.
 
 Anyways he took all the pieces back, and re did it but could not get the combo price. he got fedup and said, listen I will just charge you 307 plus taxes I can t get this right, you ok with it ?  the prices for the single components will be wrong. I said, I don t care, I get my pieces, pay what I should, I am happy. So they ringed 353 bucks and I looked at their screen carefully, and saw the problem. He was giving me a 2.2 Gig Celeron instead of the COmbo s 2.0 Gig celeron. That is why the price was not getting discounted. I looked at DS who realized it at the same time and was looking at me. We looked at each other and did not say anything. SO now I have the 5 dollar more expensive processor instead of the slower one.
 
 I felt bad, but they were downright rude the first time we were there, and not accomdating or apologetic the second time around either. They gave me the wrong one, price difference is negligible for them, so I think I will count this as good foryune under the circumstances.
 
 
 Anyways , that is why I think I am a lucky duck. 9:41 and still no real esatet agent [>:]

It is just a tad faster than what I had, which I gave to DS , and will also double as a server. DD got what DS had, she is soo happy, this is a big upgrade for her.
