Sorry for bringing back this old topic, but today is April 20, and my sister came home! She brought her computer too.

But........ Now my dad is like "oh, no point in going through the hassle of changing computers, we'll just keep the old one connected".

That bastard! Hopefully I can change his mind...

Welcome to the Club.
 

Joeiss, let me welcome you to the club. What Cluyub you ask?

The "This is my life, and I have a lousy father who takes forever for upgrades, and even when he decides to get them he'll delay actually using them club". Kitana can back me on this one but I harased my father every night for an entire year before I got a Decent PC, and I harrassed him for over a year for Braodband Internet acess, don't even get me started on how long it took him to replace our first computer, which could have been built by a Neanderthal.

That old Piece of crap is 9 years old, and I had to use it for 8 of those nine years, now my Comp Camp teacher has it, because she can actually use it and repair it, unlike myself who dosen't have time to fix the 50 million probelms it has.

Re: Welcome to the Club.
 

Yeah, dads can be very stupid at times. But now I convinced my mom that we should hook it up, and my dad is whipped, so it is all good.

Good Job Joeiss, I only was able to get my New PC with the help of my mom, and the fact that my dad was about two seconds away from going insane when he ordered it proved that the "gimme,gimme,gimme" meathod works if used only when nessacary. I was able top get the cable modem I wanted when my family started to argue over who got to use the one 56K connection we had, but that's another story, with one happy ending, I have my own Cable Modem, so I don't have to share it with the "technologically chalenged" computer crashers, aka my family, the exception might be my brother, but my mom and dad can hardly use the thing, the only reason my dad knows how to use it as well as he does is because he does presentation on a PC for Work, and his company has givben him classes, as for my mother, I won't even go there, she can't even change her own desktop, wich is pretty sad, considering that I have a younger cousin who Know's how to do it.

Keep a watchful eye on parent's near a PC, my mom has a problem with AOL all the time, and it's the only thing she uses on it, heaven forbid she finds a game she likes or a way to use file-shareres, I'd have to giev a seminar on how to use them just for her.

Whooooo! 420, man...

Man, at 4:20 on 420, man, one of the local radio stations played "Shanty," man, by Jonathan Edwards, man. I love that song! ...Man!
