Help me get a mac book!

[Esquilinho]

I think your problem, CJ, is that you hear people here saying "Oh, I want to get this and that!" and you want it too, which is normal. And as you still don't support yourself, you find it fair to ask your parents.

But don't forget that most people around here actually work and when they say they want something, that means they'll have to save for it!

Now, unless your parents are filthy rich, maybe you should follow the excellent advice that was given already.

When you're finally able to get something from your work, you'll see that you'll give much more value to things.

If you really want it CJ, and if your parents aren't payin for it, do odd jobs around your neighborhood.

Mow lawns, Walk Dogs, Lemonade Stand, Deliver the paper, etc. etc. it may take a while but it will be worth it, cause you paid for it

Thanks for the really usable questions, they help allot.
On the other hand thanks to sinclair_tm, Giaguara, RGrphc2, Esquilinho, Factor41 and davebz that actually want to help me.
This is supposed to be a support site, people used to tell me off to grammar and punctuation etc, but why dont the people that give the answers that dont help, why not tell them off.
Maybe I will try some other site.

Thanks again to sinclair_tm, Giaguara, RGrphc2, Esquilinho, Factor41 and davebz

No thanks to others.

HUH I didnt post that?

I don't think it's your age, I think it's your attitude. People on this site are passionate about their Macs, new and old. You seem to dismiss anything other than latest technology as worthless which is what got you off on the wrong foot. I also don't think the support aspect of the site is really there to answer questions like, "How can I get some cash to buy a MacBook."

Your grammar is pretty bad, though. Perhaps you should stop trying to find ways of raising cash for new Macs and spend some time doing your homework.

Hey! I suggested a paper round, that wasn't negative . I remember the tech-aquisition-lust, I guess now I'm just old enough to a.) Afford it and conversely b.) end up not spending that much on it.

Good luck!
