text: why are computers so piecemill. every part has to be bought seperate? when i buy a radio it might have an am  & fm format and a clock and a cd player and maybe a phone  and all the whistles and bells are already there meant for each other and working why can't computers be that easy? they have components so you can get exactly the type of computer you want.  if you buy a computer from the gateway or dell web sites, they make it easy to pick the right components.
