Due to two certain powers that I owe my existence too I am typing this on a P3 450 that a man in a PC shop was nice enough to give me. Too bad only one ram slot works, the agp is shot, and after I finally scrounged enugh money to get a decent power supply it now boots 1/3 of the time. No, it isn't grounded, yes I know what I'm doing, and yes, my life sux. Now I know this is quite pathetic, and if you laugh, somewhere, deep down inside I'm laughing with you at myself. Now for my plea, anyone with a spare amd T'bird or XP (high hopes) mobo or processor PLEASE be kind enough to "donate" it to my cause. Yeah, that was EXTREMELY degrading and I think I'm gonna puke when I proofread this. Also, if anyone can tell me a good way to earn some beans or flooz or any of that other online money stuff so that I can keep some dignity and BUY my own parts PLEASE PLEASE tell me. All my real cold hard cash seems to disappear into this thing called a bank account. Funny thing about the bank account is that almost all my money goes in it and almost NEVER EVER comes out. (certainly not for something the two powers see as worthless like a computer) Thank you all and I greatly appreciate ANY help.
