Out of curiosity, would you buy a new computer just to play The Sims?

I said Yes, primarily because I started playing Sims with Sims2 back in the summer of 2005. I only had a laptop, that at the time we made the purchase, I decided against gaming capabilities. (I was suffering writer's block and knew if my young son asked to use my laptop to play a game I would, being the softy that I am, say yes. I was afraid he'd be on the laptop playing away when I'd get that much-needed spark of inspiration.) I never dreamed I'd be playing electronic games — not in a million years. So, hubby called me from his office one day to inform me that in about three weeks' time, my new computer would be delivered, telling me to watch out for it. He made sure that Dell put it together, keeping in mind that I would be playing Sims2. That was my very first gaming rig. It served me very well, with only needing a new vid card after Sims2 Pets, and didn't die until nearly three years ago. By then I was already into Sims3 and ST was installed.
