I can't stand talking to computer illiterate people about computers.

Seriously.
Especially with kids at my school unless they know their shit.
Like if I tell someone "Hey I got a new computer", they try to act all smart and say "How much hard drive space does it have? :c00l:".
I then say 300 gigs is all I need, and they go "HAHA, I have 500 gigs!, you got ripped off!"
I can't stand this.
I only need 300 gigs.
Then I ask them about other hardware, like the video card, and they just go ":confused:" and I say, I have a 3870x2, and then they go ":confused::confused:" and just walk away, thinking to them selves that I'm an idiot for buying this computer because it doesn't have as much hard drive space.
Why this bothers me:
1. They think I'm an idiot for spending more and not getting as much hard drive space as their 3 year old machine
2. They go around telling people that I'm a computer illiterate moron (EG. "Dude, this guy thinks he got a good computer, but he only got 300 gigs HAHAH!" "REALLY?!" "YEAH" "HAHHA WHAT A MORON")
I hate people that get Ghz and GB confused.
I can easily live off of 150, maybe less.
Who honestly needs 500 GB?
Reminds me of when my friend invited me over his house saying He got a new PC.
Needless to say, It was one of these:

[QUOTE=Wayword]I hate people that get Ghz and GB confused.
Also, only idiots use 500 GB of hard drive space.

The only thing I could think of needing 500 GB of space is people who like to make and edit movies. A lot of people keep the uncompressed video and that can take up TONS of space.

Yeah but I don't do that crap, and people who do that kind of stuff, usually know what other people need, and won't judge you because you have "less GBs" than them.

wHat. The fuck. Is that shit? :geno:
My friends, they think counter strike sucks because it costs money.
Their argument is, "what if you try it and you don't like it that's 20 dollars wasted then"
so they play soldier front then.
I should tell them about physics.
I`m not even that bad.

Or you can buy the entire Valve pack thing, with like a dozen+ games for 100 bucks.
Totally worth it.

Where can I get? :excited::holy:
Next time they bring up the harddrive tell them you got a small computer system interface harddrive and it kicks the shit out of their parallel advance technology attachment.
It's a Vtech Toy Desktop Computer :v:
I hate it when people think they know about computers.
"What! You can't take out your flash-drive when it is transferring data?"
or
"Your PC sucks, its processor is only at 2.4 ghz."
Needless to say, mine is a quad core, his is a single.

Uhh, it probably isn't a GREAT idea to take it out while it's transferring data.

You can't take your flash-drive out when it is transferring data..
My friend just ordered parts for his new computer that I built for him and he keeps saying "How many USB ports does your [b]keyboard[/b] have?". Yet, I have a G15, he brags about how his Microsoft keyboard is better because it has 4 USB slots. I already don't even use the 2 USB slots on my keyboard because there's already a bunch of wires coming from my desk and I don't want to make it look even messier. But, my friend that gave him the keyboard, he already knows my keyboard is better because of what the LCD screen is capable of running.
[B]What!? You can take your harddrive out while transferring data?[/B]
I like when people are computer illiterate though. [B]it gives me job SECURITY[/B]
I agree, I just finished building a computer and it was pretty high end because I do 3d modelling and such, and when I told them how much it cost they all flipped out and said:
"Why didn't you just get a Dell? They are way cheaper and just as good! You're an idiot!"
"Ha! Only 4 gigs of RAM? I have like 400!"
Then I made an attempt at explaining the difference between Hard Drive space and RAM... it didn't work.
Oh well, I guess its the curse of not being completely retarded when it comes to computers...

"My computer is giving me an error message. It shouldn't though, I just deleted all the files in system 32, but I never used those. Everything should still work right?"
Luckily, my friends don't question my skills with computers, nor does anybody else at my school who I've talked to computers about.

quite a few of my friends including me are smarter then the tech admin in our school.
Thanks to us though they finally got around to installing sp3 on all of the computers ++ giving us something better than ie6... IE7.
I once told my friend that i had a 300gb [b]HARDDRIVE[/b] AND HE WAS LIKE OH MY GOD 300 GIGZ OF RAM!
I was like Wow.
Yesterday my dad made me burn down a .flv file (12mb) from Youtube to a DVD so he could show it at this camp thing. I told him it wouldn't play flv files, but he insisted that his DVD player was a special one that could play all kinds of formats.
According to my dad my old PC had an 80Ghz HDD.

Yeah same here. Since I got to a small small school I am the problem solver.
