Back in 2000 I thought I would like to make a web page so went to purple shirt store and spent £250 on front page 2000.

Anyone beat that?

Yeah but I was a newbie, only just come off an Amiga 1200

Anyway, back on topic after that deviation. The money I spent on Win 7 was the most expensive. £110 iirc.

Youngsters

Back in the day stuff was expensive. My first cd writer was £260, 2 speed

swanseajack · 20 Dec 2009 at 02:02

Yeah sorry, said software, £250 for front pager, for free network fluke, worth £25,000.

PardonTheWait · 20 Dec 2009 at 02:05

Probably £85 on Leopard... about three weeks before I joined Apple and they gave me another one for free! Damnit.

Another interesting fact: I bought it off a guy who then, about a year later, came out then proceeded to get very drunk and tell me that he fancied three boys at work, one of which was me, then fall asleep in the middle of a field in the ****ing rain.

Yeah, I was only 16 and it was part of my Christmas money. My mum went wild when she found out I bought it then even more wild when she found out I'd lost the receipt

Football manager for £20 last season..... Probably

swanseajack · 20 Dec 2009 at 02:19

Lol, I went tol the same place asking for a top of the range computer, oh yes sir, a new athelon slot A 750mhz pc with win 98se, only £1100, oh had a 16mb tnt2 gfx card. Asked if it would be easy to upgrade, of course, slot A is the future.....

marc2003 · 20 Dec 2009 at 02:24

35 quid on a game (fahrenheit)

Biohazard · 20 Dec 2009 at 02:26

que everyone who doesn't say £100 quid getting acused of piracy!

Ampeg · 20 Dec 2009 at 02:30

£60 for me I think but that was back when most AAA Snes titles cost that much new :eek:

. Having said that a mate paid about £120 to import a Snes copy of Fatal Fury.

Strife212 · 20 Dec 2009 at 02:31

£140 or something for Windows Vista Ultimate

My most expensive piece of software was guitar rig 2 (free upgrade to 3).

That cost me about £250~ including the hardware controller.
