I was asking around my chums about this, and I figure in case anyone wants to buy a new computer and needs an excuse to justify the expenditure, try these:
10. To run flashy new software
Only 10 you say? well the rest are much better!
9. Your current PC has blown up
Don't laugh, it happened to me. BANG and then nothing. Scared the hell out of me.
8. Your current PC doesn't have a DVD/CD-RW/Zip-drive/similar unneccesary gadget.
You can get them seperately, but don't let that stop you.
7. One of/All your keys stick
DEFINATELY a valid reason. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
6. Current PC is really dirty
Those cleaning wipe things dont work. There is only one solution...
5. Full hard drive
You should really delete some save games, but you really want to go back to them later. Well, you know the solution.
4. Your current PC is an I-Mac/PS2/other dodgy piece of hardware.
Fairly self-explanitory. I expect the sales assistant lied to you.
3. You've only got Windows '98
Nobody wants to BUY a copy of windows, especially when you get the latest version with a new PC.
2. Autorun has switched itself off
That's just happened to me, and I can't get it back on. A new PC must surely be the answer!
AND AT NO. 1....
1. TOO MUCH STUFF ON THE TASKBAR
I have a rediculous amount of stuff on my taskbar, but it all looks important. Best get a new PC then!

Apparently, according to statistics, Windows '98 is the best version. Sure the stuff isn't as enhanced as Windows 2000, but it's the least glitchy.

Buy the base unit simple.

er... autorun IS on. That's the problem. It is on but it doesn't work. And yes, I CAN remove stuff from my taskbar, but it all looks so important.

No one wants Windows full stop.
