I couldn't sleep tonight, so I was randomly surfing the internet. I started with... let's see... a google image search for "playboy tits" and an hour later I was reading a blog about Windows Vista and twenty minutes later I was at www.apple.com customizing my own Macintosh computer to see how much their best desktop computer would cost.

Turns out, you can get a computer for $24,000.

The highlights?
2 - 3.2 Ghz Quad core processors.
32 GB of RAM
4 Terabytes of hard drive space
dual 30" HD monitors
A $2875 video card from NVidia

The best part? Free Shipping.

That is so weird. I mean, yeah, the computer is hella expensive, but on the other hand, it's amazing how much technology has progressed. I mean, I can remember a time when 32 MB of RAM was impressive. Sweet Jesus, it scares me how rapidly technology advances.
