God, i love familly

Post by gamer2 »

I went to my Sisters house today, my brother and law asked me a question, "hey my laptops broken, do you want it? im sure you can use it for a screen for one of your contraptions." Even though i know i cant use a laptop screen for portable so i take it any way couse hell the laptop ws good.

I got it home and fiddled around with the wires and it booted up perfectly.

I got a pretty nice lap top for $nutin.

2.0ghz AMD Athlon, 256mb ram, WinXP

no cd drive but hey, he has games on here with no-cd keys.

aint i lucky sometimes

That's a pretty great laptop, even for now. Although I am wondering, why is there no CD drive? I suppose you could use always use an external one if needed.

My friedn for his birthday got a laptop which was wicked nice, as well as fast, from his uncle, because he makes them at dell, and gets a free one every other month. The thing must have cost at least $2000. My friend didnt seem very greatful though for some reason.

Lucky! Best I got from a friend (or relietive) was a keyboard, which isnt bad (nice and broken in) as its USB and has two usb ports in it. I was hoping that I could get his PIII computer but, as its with another friend I'll have to fight for it to gain possesion.

Its true! All of his 3 kids have one, and he gives them away a lot. I dont think he gets payed a lot, so they give him the extra ones. I think what he does is fix the computers, when people return them under waranty.
