    yeah...it took me a total of 3 hours on tech support to get them to give it to me for free. then when i went to install it the geniuses at dell had forgotten to give me all of the wiring for a second HDD so that led to another hour on tech support to get the extra wiring for free. moral of the story if you spend enough time yelling at Indians with a small grasp on English you will be able to get nearly $1000 worth of hardware for $850

    lol I'm from Paskitan and I swear to god we don't have a problem like accents like they do. I wonder why?

    Sometimes I have to call them up and I hear a typical Indian guy going "Hi I'm Steve". WTF?

    lol, one day I asked if that was really his name and he said something like this"No,my real name is _____ my boss said we needed to pick a "american name" so that our customers will feel better when talking to us."

    Made me laugh.

    It's just nice to have a High School ring. I got one, it's pretty cool. I don't really wear it all the time, but when you're in your Junior year they ask if you want one most people buy em.

    Yeah, I love(soon I'll have to use the past tense!) high school and I want to remember it in every way possible. Yearbooks, Rings, TONS of photos, etc.. But most people at my school don't buy rings, I have no clue why. But anyway I got 10k gold, Aquamarine stone (birthstone/school color), name inscripted on the inside of the band, and more. I really am excited and can't wait to get it, probably won't ever leave my finger!

    No. As I am paying for the ring myself and that would cost me more $$.

    My Ring is 10k gold with a red stone (our school color) and has my name in the band too.

    We are the Rapids Red Raiders and we have a red Indian as our mascot. I have "Onward," our state motto, written on it.

    It's a nice ring and one of my better high school memories.

    A late follow up to the monkey in a watch photo....If you need a flashy watch to get a job...rather than the content of your brain....Well that speaks volumes enough for the smart people in this world...I qualify for MENSA....And i see the comments fall far below this level.....Same for the stupid hiring of tall people to fill exec. jobs?....how moronic........I hire for intelligence....not ceiling clearance......

    Mensa huh? SO, if your some type of genious why can you punctuate properly? And what's wrong with having a expensive watch? You don't see lawyers and stock tradesman walking arout in $30 Timex's now do you? Better Job = More $. More $ = More expensive items.

    that's why i got creative and scared them in high school...well, at least my freshman year--before i grew enough to actually kick ass. right after columbine, i was wearing trenchcoats and neo-nazi military garb...and actually hit a guy in the school parking lot with a friend's car...4 times. for fun and on video. :)

    mang, people showed how little it took to scare them back then. no one bothered me after they saw what my crew and i did to entertain ourselves.

    semi-relevant, but it's really too bad to me that society is so very materialistic. it's wasteful and, in my opinion, shameful.

    Money can't buy happiness but it sure makes life more stressful.
