Not sure how anyone could get this impression from his videos. Unless of course the only one they have watched is the one where he begins by sarcastically making fun of people with this type of attitude before telling everyone it is a big joke and everyone should do whatever they want."a group of 3 or more pipesmokers shall be known as a mantle" and an endless amount of other megalomaniacal rubbish.
Shove off Muttonchop. Don't tell me what to do or how to do it.
Depending on what you want to do on the computer, they can be relatively inexpensive. The more technical the work you do, the more expensive the computer you will need. I do advertising and design work and work on some very large files. I can't easily do my work on a straight off-the-shelf computer. I'm sure that it takes a bigger, faster computer with a lot of memory to put together a video and have it professional looking.I wouldn't imagine that computers are so expensive in the US that he was in danger of being offline for a year, while he saved up for a new one.
