These wires were in a position to energize the entire interior of the attic space; I'll just leave the conclusion up to the imagination, but none of the possibilities are good.

The only logical conclusion is that they are aware and they don't care. 

Technically, I should ask every human who attended a seminar and evaluate their life 5 years later in order to reach a conclusion. 

Try to understand what he is trying to explain before jumping to your conclusions. 

Bonus: when you rehab and "force appreciation".After reading many many forums on BP, my conclusion is that one must apply a "cash flow" underwriting mindset when investing in those geographies (midwest) and a "appreciation" mindset when investing in coastal geographies.  

I've yet to see one person show me a single shred of conclusive evidence that a recovery is imminent.

I have talked with people on both sides who each have their own evidence to support their conclusions. 

In conclusion, thank you for the advice.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has come to these conclusions...I'm feeling a little doubtful, like I'm missing something...but honestly, I'm pretty sure I'll be much happier and productive with a high end, lighter laptop.

I don't know if you've been reading too many of the exploits of a certain President-elect (who shall remain unnamed) in coming to the conclusion that you can be "guilty as hell"... and still get REWARDED for it, but, such conniving doesn't sit well with me...* (But I'm not used to thinking about skirting the rules, so I my "instincts" may be wrong).
