    Did you really need to use the auctioneer sound effect? I could barely hear you over the auctioneer.

  2. Esteban says:

    I like most of the sound effects, but the auctioneer one was annoying — mostly because I couldn’t hear you.

  3. Rubbish says:

    All of the sound effects are annoying

    #3 – Rubbish

    Agreed… but then again, it’s his show.

    Somebody somewhere must be buying a lot of macs in the US cause they aren’t at all common local and they aren’t that much of the world market. 3.5% of the world market. It was a 40% increase over where they were before but that was also a very small number.

  6. Glenn E. says:

    Nope. The PCes won’t get much cheaper. The profits for their makers will climb more, than the unit prices will fall. It’s the same as when they build the things in China, to save labor costs. So why aren’t all laptops dirt cheap NOW?! The PC makers will just add some feature that they say we can’t live without, or it just became practical to offer. And that will be their excuse for keeping the unit prices right where they are. The upgrade game. It why Microsoft makes a new OS every four or five years, that cost more than the previous one, and requires newer hardware to run it.

    Hey John,

    That auctioneer effect was really not a good idea. Could not understand you at all.

    Stop it now. 😉
