Frankly the first question they ask is Megapixel and then go on to say that they bought a higher megapixel camera which is much smaller and much cheaper.

Same for GFX card. How much MB card is it?

^Totally! I've had such instances before.

Some similar cases:

1. Friend: (Looking at my huge LiLi enclosure) - Wow why do you have a server at home?

Me: :dead:

Me: It's just a spacious case. I prefer this over the smaller chassis.

2. Friend: OK, so what's inside that big dabba?

Me: E8400, G31 board, 4870 1gig card, yada yada.

Friend: How many GHz CPU?

Me: 3GHz at stock.

Friend: I have a Pentium D 3GHz at home. So what's the big deal here? :|

Me: :dead:

3. (Looking at the MX5021) Friend: How many watts are those?

Me: 90W RMS.

Friend: Bah, my home theater has 3000W PMPO.

Me: :dead:

^At least he knows iPod=Apple, most people think anything that plays music is an iPod.

Friend: Dude, I'm getting a Sony iPod for my car.

Me: Huh?

He was getting a Sony Xplod music system...

A friend wanted advice for buying a laptop.....

He told me that he would be using it ONLY for Word Processing & Internet Surfing and nothing else...... And then asked me if 4GB RAM was enough for that purpose......!!!

I was like..... NO!! Go for 16GB..... else ur Laptop will hang while opening a Word Document!!!

:rofl:
