If you weren't such a pompous, close minded dickbag, I'd happily let you borrow one of the three spare laptops I have sitting in my den (I get a new one issued to me, free of charge, every August from the University. Here's a little ray of hope, though. Now that you don't have a computer, you can take the money you normally spend on internet each month and put it towards a new computer. That should cut your 2 year plan down a little. Maybe you could try begging your friends for money again; that seemed to work out pretty well for you, didn't it? I especially like how you think that the world is out to get you and that you can't catch a break. That's called Karma... and it can be a real dog.
P.S. Good job on failing out of school. Way to go there, champ.
I keep trying to deny Karma exists, but it keeps on happening. So, no real surprise Frostie has a dead computer. It's his Karma for all the rage and anger and narrow-mindedness.

College is easy? Maybe for someone taking bullcrap stuff like art, music and humanities.

Tears??? Why is this so dramatic? I assume that you are not able to finance a computer, which is a shame. Still, a laptop is really NOT that expensive to require two years of savings...but in all fairness, I do not know your financial situation. You may want to do something to improve that. I think that if being off the computer elicits tears and rage...then maybe a little break isn't such a bad thing, and take this time to gain a healthier perspective. I wish you well, and I hope that you return rejuvenated...and a bit more balanced. I mention this only out of concern. You sound like a very nice man.

Nice man? He's a raging close-minded socialist. He squeaks by I think working at places like Burger King or Pizza Hut. These days likely hard to find a decent job without any 'real' work experience.

I do not know about his beliefs and his affiliations, and I would never judge a person by their place of employment...my point (here) was merely to examine such a dependency on the computer, to a point causing such emotional turmoil.

I think he was studying English and History, or something like that.
Now I've always done well in History, but I've had consistantly low marks in English courses beginning with Grade 10 of High School until the first year of University. I've since then vowed to never take another English course.

If you followed Frostie you'd realize everything is an emotional turmoil to him. When Bush won the second term in office he about blew a gasket on here. He has emotional and anger issues and does not recognize that anyone can believe differently or have different ideas.
yeah, no judgment about where he works but he's never going to get out of the gutter unless he finds a way to elevate where he works.
I've had relatives and known people like him. Generally they came from spoiled childhoods where they were given everything or they were flaming gays.

What is the point even going to college if you're going to waste your money on useless courses like English or History??? I don't get it. They won't get you a career in anything except maybe teaching. Why invest your life in a low-paying career like teaching?
In four years of college I only had to take two courses unrelated to my major - Sociology and Physics. Physics kinda was useful. Every other course the entire program was related to architecture, engineering or construction management.

Lol, I can just imagine him in one of his PoliSci classes arguing with his Prof: "You stupid fudging chicken, you are wrong, you and your conservative butt hole buddies!"
This is my favorite kind of irony!
this is Frosty looking for understanding and compassion because he can't be here for us. Awwww, poor guy, we understand.
and than follow with..."You stupid fudging chicken, you are wrong, you and your ....!"

kinda like the emotional meltdown you have on here every time President Obama is mentioned??? i don't think you handle opinions differing from your's that well either!

Doing this from Dad's again.
I got an F in Intermediate Algebra, twice, and it brought down my GPA (after a less than stellar Political Theory class that really should've been in Phi, not Poli Sci but I digress) to the point that I no longer qualified for Fin. Aid and since I couldn't afford to pay my tuition out of pocket...

Was using FAFSA from the beginning. As for scholarships, I suppose I could try for one. I'm going to wait a little while first. I've taken on a few additional projects lately that I'd like to at least the ball rolling on before I do anything else.
P.S. In case anyone was wondering, I contacted HP, and thankfully my warranty is still in place, so I just have to ship it off to Texas again (where the nearest HP approved repair facility to me is apparently), and for a mere $49.99 they can fix it without compromising the data still on the hard drive. So I'll have my primary writing apparatus back in 2 weeks at the earliest. Which means I can to work on re-writing Night of the Living Impaired.
