Re: Laptop go byebye

man, it is just too expensive for me. I am merely a kid. I can't dish out money like that. I know that sounds petty, but remember how much a dollar seemed when you were a kid?

I was making $0.25/hr when I was 12 working 4 hours a day after school polishing jewelry in a repair shop, and saved all my money to buy Christmas presents for everyone. It was important to me that I be able to do this, to "participate in life" even if it was only once a year....
Everyone should have priorities.......how much do you spend on video games?

The real point is that there are rules and expectations in life.
ICANN, (the agency the governs the internet) requires a minimum age to purchase a domain name, and VodaHost is also required to have minimums too....so it is all legal. It is not about the money, and you know it. It is about doing things responsibly. If you had the mind to it, you can still find means to continue your online progress.....if you really wanted to.

Personally, I believe if you had acted with more decorum, you would have been fine. Had you kept under the radar, we would have not minded (everyone knew last summer already!)....but you continued to act out, to call attention to yourself on top of your lack of even common courtesy -- a dead giveaway. As it turns out, it is simply an excellent lesson to learn how things in the real world truly are, and how you need grow up a bit and follow the rules to fit in so you can enjoy the action like everyone else......it never really was about the money, so you need not keep telling that story. It was (and still is) about the choices you make, and being accountable for them. A lesson better learned sooner than later.....trust me!

Video games= close to nada. No time for them. And Vasili, had I stayed under the radar without disclosing what I actually was doing, I would have felt like I was lying to you guys. My priority is to buy a car. So I found a bank with %5.1 interest, and have been investing since I was 5. I know how to manage money. 12 bucks a year versus 97... I will go with 12 thank you. Another way to save money.

It was (and still is) about the choices you make, and being accountable for them. A lesson better learned sooner than later.....trust me!

Learned that last year... Was suspended from school for loading programs on the school computers so that I could test them out and write about them in the school newspaper... I was in a "Newspaper" class. How odd is that. Although, I learned my lesson. I was held accountable by serving three days of suspension. (one of those days I was crushed by a boulder in our creek. Not fun. :( )

I understand all of your points compltely Vasili. I am mending myself now. Thanks for letting me know now so that when I am in the real world, I will know how to act.

Re: Laptop go byebye

well, we went down to the place and picked it up... I opened up the box, and there was a piece of paper, along with a new ac adapter... It said: PARTS REPLACED: Keyboard, Switchboard, MotherBoard, Battery, Ac Adapter!!! All for free! And, the laptop is out of warranty!

The catch... (there always is one)

The laptop doesn't recognize the new ram!!! Time to call the big V-P again... :( I am not looking forward to this. :( Condolences?
