...or at least a new computer.
See, my old one was slow, mainly because it was second hand. Perhaps I should have become attatched to the circuits and cords that had been thrown into that second-hand, stuttering donkey of a computer, but I awaited with day with anticipation when it would appear in our garage sale.
And now it will, unless of course I get the supreme honour of battling with the groaning, sluggish heap of pre-year 2000 technology.
The new computer? Well, it apparently cost $2400, a price tag that makes me shudder, but with it I get a flatscreen 17"" monitor, pentium 1 processor, webcam, printer, scanner, fax machine and one exceedlingly fast internet explorer. Yes, I have been blessed.
I did say that it would take some weeks before I could get a new computer, but I'll admit that my estimation skills were abysmal in this instance. So, I'm back, after missing a few days of karma and almost getting caught in computer class for visitng Gamefaqs.
If you find this post to be too boastful, then too bad; this is my shining moment, when I finally get to say "I'm not destitute! I can afford a decent computer!" Even so, I'm still dancing for quarters every day.

I have a fair comp. And a decent connection. DSL does not compare to cable. And I would dance for quarters too, but the people at my school wouldn't give me any...

*pentium 4
Is your computer game-worthy? Oh, and right now I have a monopoly of dancing, so don't start butting in to my services! Bah!
But why won't they give you quarters? Are they medium class, and don't like to spare money, or are they stinking rich and just won't share it?

I got a new sig. It's because they are "ghetto," and wouldn't give money to a smart ass like me. And they would not give quarters for any types of dances but lap dances.

...lap dances? Perhaps you should put on some lip balm and brave it...

No. I'm not suicidal.

Suicide? I didn't think you could get saliva related STDs.

No, that's not it. If I tried to do that, they'd kill me.

Yeah, it's a scary step up from my last computer. I still keep thinking I have time to make a sandwich while I more from internet page to internet page.

I have a fairly fast comp, but there are still some maps on Warcraft 3 that take a good 10 minutes to load. Especialy that 4 mb map. That one pwnz though!

I'm having problems playing games on this computer right now. I was going to buy Warcraft 3 and the expansion pack, but I tried to play WLS '98 on it, and it won't load properly. Perhaps the game is too old, or it is damaged, but it won't work. Maybe I'll borrow my friend's disk and test it out.
