 .... HA! Seriously ... it's $200 .... it's not a Maybach ... it's a phone. It's certainly CHEAPER than a personal computer .... that we used to POST ON DU. .... Now you could POST on DU with your iphone .... might be a good idea ... buy an iphone ... sell your computer and donate the money to charity.
