In the interest of wasting even more time than I already have, I created a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCQQmmOSADsI always forget that youtube is going to make these so much darker during conversion. It looked really moody can cool before I uploaded it. ![Sad](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Too bad I don't have something to watch it on :/ My dad wanted a refund because the guy on E-bay said nothing was wrong with it besides being slightly used. It was missing a cover flap on the right side that covers USB/mic/headphone/etc. And when you move the screen, blue lines run vertically across the screen. Now I'll probably be without a laptop for ANOTHER 2-1 week. And since school (Online) starts up early in August... I will barely have time to play. I'm so disappointed. This July has been too unforgiving... All that keeps me connected to Mythruna is my 3DS. Good thing I got a 20$ 3DS card for my birthday. Anyway, good-luck with farms ![Smiley](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The part I hated is that I installed all components for gaming 2 days (3 actually) and now I had to delete all the games I placed on it. ![Sad](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Yea well, we have to endure something in life, in my case: no laptop xD I'm glad my dad is going through this because most dads wouldn't go through the trouble of buying me a 600$ laptop. Would you buy a 600$ laptop for your children Paul? ![Smiley](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I just built my wife a quad-core AMD with a GTX-530 in it (for $600 by the way) knowing full well that the kids will use it most of the time. The reason my kids don't have their own computers is only a matter of supervision... they are only 6 and 9 so they must use the computers in plain sight. They have mom's PC in the kitchen and I have an extra desk and PC here in my office (though that machine is not working at the moment). I have an old Dell laptop that I'll be putting a new fan in but that's not really a gaming computer. I plan to put Windows XP and some old-school RPGs on it for the kids to play (no internet access).

I was stating that you would do something nice for your kids. ![Smiley](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Not the other way around (I wasn't expecting you to say no, so don't be confused with what I said.) ![Smiley](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Or am I the confused one here?

Not the other way around (I wasn't expecting you to say no, so don't get confused with what I said.) Yes, I knew what you meant. And I was saying that I'm not a good example because I'm perhaps overly generous with technology where my kids are concerned. I have 4 PCs and a laptop in the room with me right now and there are atleast 4 other PCs in the house and a laptop missing a fan. And that's only the PCs that are 100% operational. I have a pretty sizable graveyard of old computer parts in my basement... and a few PCs just needing a power supply or a hard drive or something. Edit: the point is that I'm a tech junky and I want my kids to be also. ![Smiley](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

For a developer: You need all the PC's you can for testing. But then you have a hired team to do that for you, or the free community. ![Wink](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Anyway, I think it depends on how tuned into technology your parents are that determines if they buy stuff. Obviously programmers will have a few. All of my siblings have had an ok (xp) laptop since the age of 12, and going off the college I got a $1000 laptop (discounted $800) because my parents think technology is vital for the future. Between them however, they can open and browse the internet, and open a few games that have obvious desktop shortcuts ![Wink](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hah! Even though my dad works on cars, he knows how to fix a computer. ![Smiley](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I had a decent computer at age 12. But even my little brother had a laptop. at age 8, he was smarter (spoke sharply when playing minecraft lan) And knew how to use a computer better than a 14 year old. He even knows how to use a music program (FL Studio 10) better than me ![Cheesy](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . He made some awesome songs. He's very literate, but not so good with math. (Division currently)... But he still acts like a hyper 10 year old. ![Smiley](http://mythruna.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

"And knew how to use a computer better than a 14 year old." How do you gauge that?

I don't know about Oklahoma City but Oklahoma is by far not the first place to look. Hope I'm not offensive, you turned out ok technologically.

Heh, Oklahoma Isn't the best place to be, but there are more university graduates here than any other state. Or, that is at least what I heard.
