So in other words, you're saying I'm behind the times.. In the words of Doc Brown... Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Oh well, I guess I need a whiz bang idea... or maybe just a sugar mama? UGH! I'll never get this money! I work in the retail field but I'm gonna contact a lady at a place in town that just happens to be a Macintosh sales and repair place and they're hiring. Doesn't mean I'll get the job or make much money or even get a free computer but it's worth a shot. At 33 years old, it gets kinda sad and frustrating chasing your dream without any money and trying to beg and plead from total strangers. Oh well. Hey guys and gals, thanks for your help, as always. I'd be lost without you all! BTW, dbirider, great website! Your pal always, Russell
