Lessons Learned

The lesson I learned is that while searching for computer components there were hundreds of different component variants and versions that I could have chosen, and the prices differed from each component by either being higher in the thousands or lower in the hundreds. When I copied the URL's I learned how to edit them and shrink how long they were to not cluster the page with URL names.
