My computer is letting me down. My folks say that when this computer brakes, they will lend me 100€ for another computer. Thats not enough for me. Im only 13, 14 and even i know how much a computer of 100€ sucks. So i decided to go for a labtop.
First things first.
-I don't want to brake my comp for €100 (atleast yet >:J )
-How in hell im going to get €1000 for labtop.
-I don't want to be a mailboy (thats just lame, no offence).
-I don't want to start any summerjob. :3
-I could maybe turn a icecreamwagon upsidedown. (steal)
Im desperate and i need help all! :'D

You say you don't want to be a mailboy or get a summer job, but that's you're only choice I'm afraid. For a 13/14 year old there is no other source of income I can think of.
Also I've been a paper boy for almost 4 years, it's not that bad y'know.

You could always upgrade individual components, just so you know. You need to examine the hardware and determine the component that needs upgrading the most (EG. your RAM). Sometimes this can work wonders. Also, take a look at all the software on your computer. It is important that you try to keep your computer tidy and with a good upkeep, by removing (and protecting yourself against) malware, deeply rooted software (Norton is a known offender), and generally software you don't need. It can greatly extend its lifespan before a reformat.
I'm saying this because people sometimes decide to give up too early when they notice something is wrong with their computer. I find that with investigation, most computer problems can very well be fixed, eliminating the need to buy a whole new one.

This computer has worked for 10 years.
And after all the cleaning, fixin' and smashing.. My computer will die this time. :/
I'm afraid this computer will not last even a month, so this is a hard time for me.
I won't start stealing or getting an job. I will make it thru college and then get a job as doctor/lawyer. I will start selling all my useless stuff to the black market. As for today, i got €121,60 for selling my NES games on ebay. Consider this thread closed. D:
Twi, im afraid i don't have time to start mailing or get a job, otherwise i would. I'm doing this site & game with a couple friends of mine. Niko is an awesome programmer, and he leads the project. Its a wargame that we hope will have a future.
