Was thing a super computer? Lol

I work in retail and sell laptops for a living at Walmart and I dont think our most expensive one goes above 600 bucks and those babies will do just any job the average person needs it to do. $1200 seems like alot of money for laptop, so either this thing is extremelly advanced, or someone or someplace over charged for it (reminds me of a company by the nake of Apple lol) and ya bought it lol.

Anyway, the most expensive thing I bought was vehicle off craigslist that ran very well for 2 and a half days, until it had some sort of electrical fire (or so we believe anyway, no way to ever find out for sure) and caught fire. So yeah for 2 days it was the best investment ever, but then it became the worst investment ever in the snap of a finger. Know I was very mad about the money wasted on this 'looked like an extremelly good car' that caught fire. I felt like I may as well took a pile of the cash and struck a match to it. That was esstenially how it felt. Lol

On the bright side though, no one was hurt or killed in the fire so thats always a plus. ;)

Now back to driving my dads hyaundi. Lol
Australia has everything more expensive. Laptops especially. You look to spend about $1000 on a fairly decent mid range laptop.

Start of this year I had a car accident. I was fine and my car was fine (there were no other cars involved) but I did damage to property totalling at near $3000. Had to claim it on insurance which cost me $1700 and I had no savings. Parents bailed me out and I payed them back for every cent. Other than that. I paid for a 1/4 of my car ($1200). My guitar that I play most was about $900 I think.
