  1. Re:Laptops are cheap and so are you on RIP the Campus Computer Lab, 1960-2009 · · Score: 1

    Are you going to buy me a Wifi modem for my laptop, Mr. Silver Spoon?

    No. You can do it yourself for the back breaking price of $10. Never mind that even the cheapest laptops have wifi built in these days so the wifi adaptor would likely be redundant.

    For that matter, are you going to buy me a laptop?

    Nope. You'll have to do what I did and take out school loans to buy one. Then you pay for it once you are out of college and gainfully employed. If the extra $300 to buy a low end laptop is going to break you, perhaps you need to reconsider your college financing options.

    All I could afford was a minimal desktop PC for $300.

    Bullshit. Either you're lying or you didn't look hard enough. If you are that strapped for cash you could even have gotten something used or second hand. Even a brand new laptop can be had for under $300 these days.

    You see not everyone is rich, or drives themselves deep-into-credit debt to buy these types of toys.

    A laptop isn't a "toy" anymore and you don't have to be rich to own one. $300 isn't going to bankrupt you or if it does you were already near bankruptcy for other reasons.
