Have ya'll ever gone to someone else's command center, and his main-puter Sux, and deep down you wonder, Could I really be friends with this person.
Hahahahahahhahahah

No, tp.

No, tp.
I should probably clarify
It's not that the worse computer makes this person LESS than MYSELF..
I'm merely saying, the computer indicates we may be too different for more extensive comradery.
That isn't to say it's impossible, Certainly , I have a friend who is a baker (food).
But the first impression is, if his life is so detached from computers.. it seems less likely

I don't choose my friends based on their wealth or spending preferences

Hahaha.. well that sounds horrible.. but i think if you clarified that
--- Varying socio-economic classes of people have different and sometimes incompatible behaviors, which require you to choose appropriately.
That makes more sense and sounds better.

That's fair. It's completely normal to feel prejudice, and I honestly didn't respond properly. I don't think socio-economic classes make or break friendships, but they can affect their likelihood for sure.

Well that's an interesting question.
I wouldn't say it matters, but thinking about it my best friends all have pretty decent computers.

The last time I had any feelings about a person's choice of computer wasn't even IRL, but watching a person who'd replaced their Macbook Pro with the latest, highest-end model, only to have buyer's remorse after realizing a) certain features they liked about the "older, outdated" (2 years old) model were replaced with versions they didn't like as much (keyboard, touchpad), and b) they paid a laughably overpriced amount for it, too, which you could see they were trying to rationalize despite the specs hardly being a great improvement.
I felt sorry for them more than anything. Used to be fond of some of their hardware but it's a shame how Apple's pro range has gone downhill in various respects.

I always laugh loudly at the poor fools who need dongles to plug in their headphones :))

It's already spread to other phone makers, watch out :-* Though Apple's laptops are as yet unaffected it seems.
