I'm with Jeff and Rich. I build my own PCs and upgrade only those pieces that need it when they need it. Why do you need a new monitor, keyboard, mouse, and DVD drive every time you buy a new PC? Rip off!

Or RAM or video card or SSD or CPU or heatsinks, fans, cables, etc. etc. The list goes on and on. Modularity wins for those willing to go under the hood (and deal with the hassles/fun that entails).

Re: getting something on the iPhone lock screen. Anything on your camera roll can be made the lock screen. Just pick the share icon in the lower left. So all you have to do is either edit a picture or take a picture of whatever you want it to look like or even email it to yourself on the phone and save it, then go to the image and set it for the lock screen. You can move and scale the image as part of that process as well.
Heh - I thought the same the last time I thought about just upgrading rather than replacing. But a new MB and processor almost always requires a new set of RAM (it seems they change the standard/interfacing every six months for just this very reason). Video card? Naw - it can't keep up with the new codecs! Power supply? Nope - MB draws more power - replace that! Wait - now the power supply won't fit in the old case (redesign on profile there too) - need a new one of those!
Seems like one of those "There's a hole in the bucket, Eliza" situations!
True. The problem is the lock screen he's currently using isn't in the camera roll... it's a default apparently, and there's no way I've found yet to access that particular file so I can get the text on it with the app. I'll just find a similar picture elsewhere and move it to the camera roll... presuming the phone lets me!

RE: iphone lockscreen "if found text":
You'd think so. Been a standard feature on Android and Windows phones for years. But not available on iPhones. There are apps to do it. The app I got takes a jpg file and burns text into it, then sets that as the lock screen.
My son decided to change lockscreens to one of the other ones that are standard on iPhone. But, it's not accessible as a JPG for the app I've got to work on it to put the text on. Spent lots of time trying to figure out where it is... even installed iTunes on my PC to see if I could find it there. Nope. Installed "iFunbox" which gives access to the file system on the phone... couldn't find it...
Eventually gave up. Will find a different similar picture on the web, move it to photos, then it will work with the app.

I'll toss in a different, perhaps unwelcome thought. I use PC's and prefer Linux over Windows. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to spend my money on anything Apple. Having dealt with them on a professional level has jaded my opinion of that company forever and I'll leave it at that.
I know that this is not what you want but iOS8 has the Health app and the emergency data can be accessed from the locked screen touch pad. Once everything is set up press the emergency which brings up the emergency phone screen. At that location there is the Medical ID access. It is a bit out of the way but it is there and it is complete information.
The problem with apple was Steve Jobs... A man who claimed to have invented things, when in fact that is not the case. Plus, have you ever talked to someone who "loves" apple? You can't tell them anything about the flaws in the products...
I presume that you are setting bait with that statement.
It must be a problem to have created the most successful company in the world. I don't know if he actually made claims of inventing anything. Much like every other mac vs pc debate there is always the fanboy vs fanboy pissing contest.
