I'm quite inclined to agree.

Excellent! It is a great feeling when you start to zoom in on it for the 
first time and it just stays perfectly crisp and sharp until you see the 
pixels. Very good candidate for a big poster.

Just wait until he settles down and has kids; then he'll learn the
meaning of the word 'economising'. :-D

Is this like that thing with smoking? You know, where they work out that 
over the course of a year, if you quit smoking you could afford a 
Ferrari... and yet, none of the non-smokers actually *have* one.

Kind of like how no matter what PC you have, rendering a nice image 
still takes *exactly* the same time?

According to Google the average cost of raising a child to 21 in the UK 



you could probably just about get an entry level Ferrari after 21 years 
of not smoking.


years would not use it to buy a Ferrari, but rather replace their car 
with a slightly better one slightly more often, and maybe in addition a 
slightly larger house or more parties/holidays or whatever.
