Seven years ago I proposed to my now wife by renting a limo for 2 hours. I requested a cheap bottle of champagne for the ride. We went mini golfing (where I proposed). We then went to McDonald's for supper.

She was impressed that I knew exactly what she wanted and was very happy.

The driver did say that we weren't the first couple he'd brought to McDonald's. :^)

And I have to disagree with your disagreement.

I ran a computer store for 4 years and while Asus was great the first year, the moment they came out with their low cost X-Series, their reliability went in the toilet, nearly rivaling that of ECS/PCChips. We had more problems with their boards than any other big name manufacturer and I pushed MSI because I didn't have the time to deal with returns.

I can't comment on if Asus is competent at warranty repair, because the failures were early on enough I swear they never bothered to burn in the boards, so they went right back to the distributor.

Instead, you will end up with a lot more court cases about decades old fences and driveways being a foot or two on the wrong side and who should pay to have them ripped up and put back in the correct place.

There's a lot more of that then there are squatters.
