Why such a rush?

Saying for the Day-New is not always better!

This is the second day of Vista.
Yesterday, already, people rushed out to buy new computers with the system on it.
Others went and bought the system to load on their computer.
My question is why.
Why do people have to be first?
When the new game systems come out people spend way over the price to be one of the first to have them.
I understand one of the new Play Station3’s went for $20,000 on E-Bay.
Why?
When it comes to new electronic things I like to wait to purchase.
There are two reasons for that.
The first is that new systems often have flaws.
You have to let them fly for a bit to get the flaws out.
The customers will scream as they find what’s wrong.
The manufacturers will fix the problems.
In a year or so you will have a fairly decent system.
The second is price.
If you wait you can almost always get it for less.
At the very least you wont have to pay $20,000 on E-Bay.
If you wait long enough it will be old and you get a real price break.
I can get a Play Station 2 for $99.
Some day I will get Vista or a computer with Vista on it.
But I am in no hurry.
I can still coax some life out of the computer I have.
When I change it won’t be just because its new but because it has features I want.
While I am waiting I will visit my son who bought a computer with Vista on it yesterday.

@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls– The little town in my garage where the trains still run, dragons fly, strange things happen, and basketball is King.– Tonight the New Potatoes play Republic. In the history of the school they have never beaten Republic. But now they think they can. Banners are showing up in town. “Go Team” “ Mash Um” “ New over the Old”. The attendance at the last game was up and tonight its expected to be a full gym. After all the things that have happened the town needs a good thing for a change.
Eino and Tommy are still arguing theories. Tommy, the undertaker’s kid, says that if the government was just pretending it wouldn’t have pretended to move the town. It would have concentrated on stories about things like the hermit statue. The entire town had to be the experiment gone wrong, badly wrong. It took five days to fix it. The building was an accident , too. But they are better now at correcting mistakes. They were probably trying to teleport somebody into the town when it was accidentally moved . The same thing with the Masonic Building. Eino still thinks the whole thing is a propaganda ploy by the government.
The Liar’s Club is getting ready for its first internet story telling contest. They have decided that the stories must be about dragons or Big White Rabbits. They can be about where they came from. The powers they have. Or anything about a dragon or big White Rabbit that makes a good story. By next week they should have all the details down.

Just a note the operating system Vista has a capitol V. Well I got so much spam and of such low quality I was forced to put the spam blocker back on. I figured one or two pieces a day was a small price to pay for easy commenting on my blog. But the spam today went over five pieces. I feel a bit better today but i did take a nap in the afternoon. In the evening we went to an art show and I will blog about that at another time. Now I need a breathing treatment.
