February 6, 20188 yr This may cheer you up. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-42958325 It`s also attracting the attention of the TAX men. Raymond Fry.
February 7, 20188 yr I think what ticks me off the most is the idea that I can't just buy a video card for an upgrade and instead have to buy a bunch of other stuff with it as for a whole build. Fortunately, I bought a 1080 Ti SC about three weeks ago for $710 from Newegg before I even heard about this stuff going on. Should have bought 5 of them and made some money.
