penguins are pretty sweet, on my linux box I got probably 50 or so random penguin pics on my linux boxes. I got a few turtle ones too!

I do agree though, they need to make a mid range mid tower for macs which is not an all in one machine. the imacs are fairly priced for what they offer but not everyone wants an all in one machine.

If I had the money, I would most definitely go out and buy either a Macbook, or a Mac Pro, and I'd even be happy with a Mac Mini, as those are really nice computers. But seeing as I'm only 13, I don't have a job, and I just bought a $650 Guitar. I won't be buying many computer related things for a while

Actually, the first thing I would buy if I had some money, is a new LCD Monitor. I'm really disliking this 16" CRT. There's never enough space on the screen, even with the res at 1280x1024.

I just googled high res wallpaper and grab em that way since my macbook pro is a high quality wide screen.

I got the custom icons from there as well.

Thanks. The icons are nice too.

yeah well when you are like 15 you can get a job, and living at home is easy to save money. I know when I was living at home and working part time I could buy all kinds of useless crap because my income was completely disposable.

The only reason I don't want a job and to get older, and whatnot. Taxes

Then I'll have to save for car insurance, monthly bills, etc etc.

And I know being homeschooled is going to help a lot, then I can work during the school year and make more money.

if your parents claim you as a dependent and you live in their household they already pay taxes on you and you can claim exempt, and on top of that if you make less than like 8,000 per a year you don't even have to file taxes. Plus if you claim zero, since you have no dependents you will never owe taxes, you will get a refund every tax season since you are over paying what you actually owe out of every paycheck.

car insurance is not that bad if you parents add you on their policy, i think mine was like $45 per month or something like that. taking drivers Ed and having good grades also lowers your insurance.

there is always billion reasons not to do something

i've got around 5000 high res wallpapers on my computer as of now. totalling around 3 gigs. mostly animals and nature which are pretty sick, and a decent amount of abstract ones. no logos or watermarks on any. just simple.

thanks simon!
