So I was ordering a computer to the kid's room (the old is... old)...
I picked a configuration (i5 7600, 8GB, 480GB SSD) and got the prize of 2960 NIS (~ $862).
The day after my account was charged for 2919 NIS (~ $850).
When picked up the box I got invoice for 2885 NIS (~ $840), with promise that the difference will be on my account the next day (it was there).
And do not think they put in even cheaper parts I picked in the original configuration - all exactly the same...

Had to look up what NIS means, it's Israeli Shekel. 1 US dollar is about 3.5 NIS.
So in US dollars it is even cheaper

Looks like the dollar is sinking against the NIS. It always get turn aroung, but this move was for your advantage.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Try returning it back. They might refund 2960 NIS to you. Forget bitcoin, order computers to get rich! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

I bet they give you 2800 NIS minus shipping and handling. That'd be like a mouthful of ![Good Stuff | [The good stuff]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/vegemite.gif) !

Only five people left who have walked on the moon, and they are all in their eighties. Soon - far too soon, I'm sure - there will be no-one left who can say they did it, and tell us first hand what it was like.
Where did we go wrong? We should be colonising Mars by now ...

We would at first solve the problems (like war, environment and poverty) on earth before starting to polute the mars.

We have a supervolcano - Yellowstone - that is 40,000 years overdue to let off in a BIG way; we're late for a asteroid strike; most wars are about space and resources; if we stay here - and only here - much longer there won't be a species to fix those problems.
I can't remember who said it: "a planet is a good place to grow up, but you wouldn't want to live there".

We need to find another place soon. At the rate we're using resources and polluting it won't be long.
Don't let your mind wander too far.
It's too small to be let out alone.

Then Mars is the obvious answer. It has all the resources we need. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Don't get me started.
William Proxmire should be dug up out of his grave, resurrected, and then executed (slowly) as a traitor not to the United States, but to the entire homo sapiens species.OriginalGriff wrote: We should be colonising Mars by now
I disagree. The colonies on the Moon and Mars should be going concerns. Mining in the asteroid belt should be taking off. Exploration of the outer planets and their moons should be underway. We should be talking about, if not building, the first generation ships to nearby stars.

We haven't even explored much of our own world and everyone is so eager to leave. Strange.

I think bases on the Moon and Mars are complete dead-ends. I do agree, however, that mining the asteroid belt could pay massive dividends.

With not realizing that the size of the rocket, and thereby the cost, grows exponentially with distance.
