that actually was a great joke gamefreak

hmm chips, RAM???? hmm, i been thinking of getting a new computer, maybe i can just by a 50 cent potato and install linux on it

i just wonder for how long can the compu-spud will last before you need to update or it goes bad

forget about paying $500 to $1000 at compusa, might as just well go to supermarket or a deli. :lol:
