    Never really thought about it til GG asked me, but it adds up quick, especially since we built two new PC's in the last 6 months, but it is worth every penny so far. Who are the two that spent over 30,000$ ? THAT IS A HUGE CHUNK OF CHANGE.

    It's pretty scary when you add up the ISP fees alone!
    But, we pay for the speed we sooo crave! We figured out that together with our new builds, and past stuff that we're probably over $5,000 That's pretty inexpensive for the two of us over the years...but, I blame Virtual Dr. for us spending the money we've spent in the last year
    Msb71 is already speaking of another computer...no way, not any time soon! (See the purse strings tighten?)

    Still waiting on P3-450 to post his...must be a HUGE amount since it's taking him so long to tally it up - maybe his accountants are helping him? Let's not forget Mr. "I've Got All of Those Raptors" that used to be in his signature...

    Philgo and I think alike, scared to count it up, especially since just finished new build (with LGBPOP'S help). Besides, my wife might chance upon the post.

    I have to defend lgbpop, for he worked his rear off trying to help me, and I DID need help at the last.

    Using an average of each range.....I get a total of $215,000 US.......

    That averages out to about $10,750 per person. Now considering I am probably pretty close to the $10,000 figure, myself....I can say that my spending is about average or a little less.

    So let's round it off to $10,000 as the average ammount a person has spent on computers and internet. This forum has 86,507 members, so at 10 grand a pop....

    VDR people have spent $86,507,000................
