This is my first...bought 2006, at about £1000 including printer, speakers etc..until then I worked for a company that if you had a PC at home thought it was quite okay to send you work to do on your days off....not a good liar so didnt have one then could say quite safely ''sorry I don't have a pc''....Don't wan to hijack your thread Hayley but what about other electrical gadgets? Our first VCR a top loading Ferguson Videostar size of a small car and £485 in 1980 something |
