Talk about still in the dark ages. You can get more memory in a $10 thumb drive that they will put in a CNC controller at any price. Can anybody say monopoly? With bastard serialized mother boards, displays, serialized hard drives what is left of a generic PC. I can't stand the way they do business. OEM's charge gold prices for replacement parts also. It's not what the costs are for the part ~ rather it is what they can get away with. Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:44:56 GMT Greg_Haisley 2015-06-29T11:44:56Z
