#694927 — I don't understand cell phone users, and they don't understand me.

> > I paid 100$ for my copy of Windows.

I live alone, no pets, in Seattle (USA),
near the University of Washington.

  Housing:  300$; My 250 square foot private room,
      in my 32 unit "rooming house" (SRO), 
      is (nearly) free because I manage the house.

      Market Price is 750$ per month;
      all utilities, including Internet, are free.
      My VoIP phone (VoIP.MS) is 85 cents per month.

  Transportation:  0$; I just walk; No bus, No car.
      Amazon and WalMart deliver ( "free" shipping ).
      My BeachComber wagon carries the heavy stuff,
      like grape juice and frozen pizzas (America!).

  Health insurance:  0$ per decade;
      I spent nothing on health care, last few decades.
      I've had _bad_ tooth and gum pain, 
      but a salt water rinse takes care of it. 

  Food:  0$; free 200$ per month "food stamps" ( SNAP ).

If you don't know anything, and you have the money, you buy Apple,
or something similar but less expensive ( like Androids ).
If you know something, and you have the money, you buy Microsoft. 

> Not everyone is as technical as you are.

That's an understatement, to say the least;
I don't understand cell phone users, and they don't understand me.

When I swing my 4k monitor around, people see:

Same for Microsoft Windows 10 Ver 1803, if you know what you're doing.

I'm shocked, truly.

Even the animal kingdom is afraid of spending time alone with you?

My condolences.

Don't worry: soon the teeth will just fall out on their own, free of 
charge.

Long live the American taxpayer.

If you know how to fix your own issues, sure.

Nothing is more precious than my alone time.

I didn't know they had a say in the matter.
Like it or not, you're the government's pet.
You're just a weak bitch, yaping away, impotently.

That's why people are coming here, instead of Bangladesh.
