Let me take up a situation to elaborate. In fact why not the one from The Story. Suppose my 6600GT is beyond repair, beyond all hope, in the tech graveyard. Now what if Rashi Peripherals does not have another 6600GT. They can’t give me a less powerful card. So would they give me a card from the GeForce 7 or 8 series? Would they?
It’s a proper dilemma for those guys. I wonder how many such situations arise, because manufacturing a graphics card through a fabrication process at a factory is onething, but trying to repair one, trying to pinpoint a problem among all those millions of transistors, might be a pain in the neck, unless it’s burnt out, in which case, the guys can simply declare the warranty null and void. But in the sequel to The Story, they did accept the card. Now I can just wait.
But, on second thoughts, I think that it’s rather insensitive of me, towards my 6600GT, y’know, hoping I get something else in return. After all, that card has given me 2 years of faithful service, and I’m not quite ready to part with it yet. But that’s how everyone feels about their belonging till they get something better/meaner/whateva…
And by the way, typing on laptops is a bore. Soft keys, weird key placement and bad wrist placements…
