'Tis why I either block 'em or set a rule. My domain host got hacked a few years back and my emails got out so I still get well over 200 emails a day... ?
Confession time... Since my apartment complex had a nice court, I used to play practice tennis with the receptionist from work who was pretty stacked and I used to intentionally do drop shots just to watch her run towards the net, bend over and try to reach the ball... I'm not proud. ?
(Plus I was dating her sister who was a hot AAA beach volleyball player, i.e., Pro level. I only made it to AA...)
And, for even more perspective, that $8,499 is equivalent to $21,290.52 today! ?
(Well, as of April, 2023, the most current month of data available using the inflation calculator.)
I still remember paying $510 the year before (1988) for a 20 MB hard drive (yes, MEGABYTE!). That's $1,337.21 in today's dollars!
[Edit: Just noticed that the monitor and mouse were not included in that computer for that price! ?]
Like I said, I want to replace a 10 TB spinner, so it's just acting as mass storage for mostly training/learning videos.
However, since I've got a nice i9 built by Jim Roseberry, I might have an extra M.2 slot... Hmm... ?
This is the one I'm considering:
