I don't have a good reason not to keep it. I listed it back on CL. Unlike this idiot, I offer stock, stock rooted or custom ROM. No apps installed other than stock.

Wow you bought something, cried about it here, went through trouble to get it working, and know decide you really shouldn't have bought it?!?

jesus bro, you probably need some meds.

IDGI.


You got exactly what you wanted.

I meant tinker as in...
Well.....
Basically root it, play with it, break it, then learn to fix it. I guess I did get to do that, just not in the order I wanted to

Ok... weak rant over. This thread is now about the caveman diet

I hate people on craigslist.

They're no worse than what you find in any other corner of the internet. I like to look at the computer section to see what crazy prices people charge for old hardware. It's pretty funny.

The computer section is the worst.

I just saw some P4 box with a 15" CRT for $300. I wanted to email them and laugh but it wasn't worth the effort.

IMO you got ripped off paying that much for a G Tablet even if it had been in perfect shape. There have been several sales on refurb Kindle Fires for less than that and they have a better SoC and a screen that won't make you want to gouge your eyes out.

I'm just trying to figure out how all that makes him less likely to be a programming teacher.

I would have purchased an HTC Flyer instead.

Yes it's used, yes it's cowboon but it's cheaper and there were some grade 8's available.
