You should try working for a school then. I've seen lots of bad RAM, lots of bad motherboards, hard drives and of course power supplies. I've only had maybe three bad CPUs.

I think they're trying to make it like TVs. Nobody fixes TVs anymore--you just throw out the old and buy new. That's what they want with computers because too many of us poor folks hang on to our computers for years. (I personally build my own and have a high(er)-end CPU in a cheaper motherboard.)
