Thats for the commnets guys, yeah, thats my favorite shoopdawhoop!

I guess I deserve it, a week after I built my 5th my dad took it away because of low grades. I insisted on boxing it up to keep it safe, then later switched it with a book of equal size and let my friend test drive it for me. In any case, I hope you all enjoy the contest. My dad has taken my portable now, but I get to keep my computer untill this wednesday...

What is this "earn-it-back" thing and your parents sound like Nazis

Well, I get absolutley nothing electronic related, and no exposure to any forms of entertainment, no tv no compy no portable

, and no working(I do all kinds of pointless soldering projects that I dont need, I just do them for fun. Thats Why I havent messed up a cart slot relocation since #2.

Basically I have to do well in school untill the first progress report. If ALL of my grades are not up to high standard then the next four weeks I get nothing. No exceptions. I do well, I get it back for four weeks. It's not my parents, it's my dad. He's been acting like this recently, but i credit him with his mechanical ability and man many tools I use all the time.

When you get old, you'll have another word for it, "Good Parenting." By the way, it sucks getting old and being a slave to the grind.

If there is a worst attempt, I've got a better shot at it than you. I've killed a screen, a Yobo, and a GBMicro already in pursuit of this. lol

Hardly good parenting. My parents tried the same things once. They thought my grades were going to get bad if they didn't ground me from the beginning. I just stopped everything and said f#$% it. Grades fell like crazy.

I do not recommend this however! I had to bust my ass just to graduate due to this. While as far as i'm concerned it was good enough for me, it is not a good solution.

The great thing about them the last year of high school is they realized that they really couldn't stop me from doing things. I always found a way around.

Finding a way around things becomes common place as soon as you gain experience. I have always gotten around the time schedule on my computer by changing the clock from the boot setup menu(idk, it says press f1 at the beginning!

)

This time, my way around the system is a very awesome and generous forum member, palmertech! Because changing the time on my computer doesnt change a thing if its in the attic now does it?
