Service? Ha, providing customer service is too expensive for a modern
company. I did like having a place nearby that sometimes had the parts
I needed when something broke. The problem with mail order is that it
always takes a long time to get the stuff you ordered. I'm pricing
stuff on newegg right now and it's a bit tempting. An NVMe drive 4
times larger than my current SSD is $50, but I'd have to buy a new
board, CPU, and RAM to go around it, and that'd be like $550 in total.
Moot point, I don't have time to spend putting a new machine together
until the middle of March.
