Garasaki buying a barebones redurbished computer is one thing. I dont think it is a good thing because in essence you're buying someone else's crappy computer that they took the guts out of and replaced. They don't give you extra stuff you pay for it. You're also sending your money out of your community. I'll keep my money in the local economy, walk in and sayhello to the man that works on my computer, take my free stuff and know that if I ever have any problems he'll fix them. Its nice to see someone that takes pride in their work and stands behind it. My tech guy called me up 5 or so days after I brought my comp. home to see how it was running.. Do you think an internest retailer would do that? I seriously doubt it.
