    Life Regret - Buying an Acer

    I'd sooner scrape out my own bone marrow with a length of rusty barbed wire than ever use another Acer.

    I need to throw this thing in the tub and then call my insurance guy.
    I don't live here any more.

    I had an Acer a while back before I bought the Asus. I was quite happy with it, to be honest.

    Delete it. They just clutter threads anyway.

    My Acer is designed for people with very low expectations. Why it is not therefore infringing Microsoft's copyright I shall never know.
