So what happened??

I am amazed how unprofessional Robert Ryan Carter is (alias "RC Cola 1987"). He has no integrity or respect for others' hard work.  Who in their right mind would join a thriving online community only to  destroy that community? I suspect his brain is haddled due to all those electric shocks he received when he was younger. Then again, he could be a product of bad parenting, his mother, allowing him to be electrocuted. Or perhaps I have just generated a load of bull shite. The one thing I do know, he is the master of bull shit. The following attatchment (S03E06_part.mp3) is an extract directly from the bulls'arshole.

My point, that interview generated red flags and alarm bells.

I've never listened to his podcast before, but just by starting it up, you can tell he's completely unreliable when it comes to anything to do with pricing...

"I got my first computer back when I was 4 and a half...  It was an old Packard Bell... Windows 3.1..  Cost over $10,000 back then...."

Huuuhhhhh????

"Windows 3.1 was released on April 6, 1992 as a successor to Windows 3.0. Subsequent versions were released between 1992 and 1994 until the release of its successor, Windows 95."

So we have a good timeline to look at what type of computer his family would've bought.



These are Packard Bell's top of the line models in 1996...  They'd be just a few years newer than the one he was describing...  Less than $3000.00.

As a kid who ended up getting a PC around that same time frame, I can certainly attest that the buying point wasn't in the 5 digit range.  They were much close to the $2000 mark, as illustrated by the images above.

I ended up snorting my coffee out my nose listening to help spout bull and ended up turning the podcast off just a bit after that.  I'd already learned enough to know that listening to anything further would just be a complete waste of time.
