So I overheard. . .

[episodic]

Checking out the retail box graphics cards at a local BestBuy. . . I was listening to two 18 somethings argue about which graphics card was better the GeForce 5200 or the Radeon 9800 pro. . .

Guy A: "Dude, you gotta get the GeForce it is the crump card cuz the 256 megs is where it is at. . ."
Guy B: "How do you hook that monster up?"
Guy A: "Just crack your case and push it in a hole man . . . tooo ez"
Guy B: "Cool, this will make my Celeron rock". . .


Both walk off with the 5200. . .

geek 1: just open your hood, plug it in, and it works by itself.

Difference being most of us would admit (at least, I would) not knowing about cars. If we thought we did, you wouldn't see nearly as many YACTs.

Maybe they got hit by a truck on the way out and can now get Darwin awards.

Nah, I'd take my car to someone who knows what he's doing rather than go buy crappy parts at some store when I have no real idea what I'm doing like those kids at BB.
