Not in MY world!! If you spent ALL your money on a 'unit' that you THOUGHT would 'exceede' your need, you would have to take matters into 'your own 'hand' to achieve 'satisfaction'.

You will still have to spend all your 'free' time TRYING to un-do the damage caused by someone too DUMB to realize that you CANNOT open the link that shows Paris Hilton in the nude! I don't even need to open the link that shows polar bears asses! I don't CARE that someone elses PENI$$is is larger than mine! I DO NOT want a ROLEX copy watch.

I am too smart to go there!! HOWEVER, my WIFE downloaded a 'trojan Horse opening just such a BS racket! SOOOOO, I am still trying to use my DINASOUR, when I COULD be using the computer that has a PILE of my money invested/waisted, since the 'smarter. sex was TOO DUMB to resist!

PS, Nathan, You ROCK!! Come back and see us anytime!!
