Just guessing, but I do believe that the total person_hours spent tweaking, back upping, searching, trouble shooting and just trying to make PCs behave in general has to add up, worldwide, to an incredible amount of time invested. But don't get me wrong, this ol' octogenarian websurfer will continue to consider his computer his Salvation.

ah,, no different from other hobbies like cars etc....

This is in the wrong forum...but I'm guessing the number would be alot !

How much is a bazillion?

Now your just making up words :unch:

actually he is not "bazillion" is a word and has a meaning, and I am not going to give a # of zero's as I do not know.

Thread moved to the Meeting Spot.

bazillion

BTW: Hello DCliff and welcome to Techspot.

its weird how we create machines that can multiply fast in one minute than we can multiply numbers in our head constantly for a life time, weird huh, who says we only use 10% of our brain, imagine if we used 15% we'd be in a different galaxy right now
