Quite a few people still use 8 or 10 year old machines, single-core or slow dual-core with a few gigs of memory, smallish harddrive, and still running Windows XP.
When a machine from 2006 can comfortably play videos on Facebook, who _needs_ to upgrade?
No one.
The fastest machines I have in the home office are dual core, 4 gigs memory, 250 or 500 gig disk running Windows 7 and Xubuntu respectively. They both perform very well.
The oldest machine is a Dell laptop from 2002 with Windows XP for use as a print server. It is slow but functional. Was using Xubuntu which was much faster but my scanner didn't like Linux.
tldr; Unless you are into new games, you really don't need a new computer.
Dunno about the maple syrup folks, but in the States you can get StraightTalk "bring your own phone" package at Walmart for around $60.00. Their unlimited prepaid service plans run $45 per month before taxes.
Moved to their service from ATT and save almost $40 per month.
Perhaps you respond better to negative motivation.
Like... um... "shock collar and isolation" with nothing for food but chicken and vegetables?
Little (Big Fat Ass) Debbie cakes will be offered 3 times per day, but partaking of a Little (Big Fat Ass) Debbie cake could result in a severe beating.
Sounds like a valid protocol for behavior modification.
Any true North American Linux distro would have to be called "Participation Trophy Linux (R)(TM)" and a free CD would be distributed with every box of microwave food and with every package of diabetic test strips.
It would be nice if Demonoid removed all the dead torrents and went private with a user limit. The best trackers I am on are all private. Public trackers (hi KAT) are toooo slooooowwwwwww and it seems like hit-and-run is more prevalent.
I had several of my high-school AP science courses via satellite. They were very, very, very boring. The "teacher" was actually just a coordinator and had almost no grasp of the material. Physics via satellite and chemistry via satellite... ugh. Did I mention the part about how the courses were absolutely, stupefyingly boring?

This book makes women into project managers.
DNA is shown as a helix to make it more appealing to the eye.
The proles don't want to see "a mishmash of random looking scientifical crap".
Rendering DNA in the form of a double helix makes it purty and romantical and radio-friendly.
I ain't sayin' she a gold diggah
But she ain't hangin with no broke niggah
In fact some nigga gave that hoe $9000 to join a stupid social media site

Land of the whipped topping cheeseburger, home of the comatose diabetic.
Land of the flea, home of the slave.
Actually it turned out to be koala flatulence.
Turns out digesting eucalyptus releases that type of gas.
Put the live catfish in a bucket of water with a few handfuls of rock salt stirred in. Helps clear out the mud vein.
And a GREEN lantern can shoot laser beams, like a shark.
You should write it into a language.
Instead of Java, it would be called Jalalala!

Crappy Food Syndrome?
Stop eating bread, pasta, and sugar for a month. Cut the dairy down to almost nothing.
Measure your weight before and after.

That explains my breast tenderness every 4 wee
Damn you, mom. DAMN YOU!!!ks.
I tried to build a bamboo bicycle, but it didn't go well.
Turns out I shouldn't have used chopsticks in place of a fork.
This HP tablet is specced identically to my $80 Chinese tablet, with the exception of Bluetooth and GPS. Those features would be worth the extra $20.
May purchase one soon.
