Why do people buy $100,000 cars or $1,000,000 homes. They don't need them. It's not a hardship to live in a $300,000 home vs a $1,000,000 home. These stupid chips are simply a tiny very cheap "luxury" for some. Some people buy 10 pairs of shoes when 2 will do just fine or smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day or buy $7 drinks at the Squares, Why? Because they can. I chose to spend my money on a "chip" since I don't smoke or drink. Nothing to do with being too lazy to roll down a (power) window. I just don't get the angst generated in so many people because some folks have these stupid little devices. Maybe it's just chip envy. Nahh, just a bunch of old fuddy duddys that like to complain about what others have but they don't.
