Ah, computers.
I am of the opinion that every single mouse attached to a campus computer is nothing but a piece of crap that they bought for 1/2 off at some hole-in-the-wall computer store because it was the best and cheapest deal they could find. I am so serious. What kind of mouse won't go left unless you pick it up and roll the ball yourself? ... Moving on.

I don't necessarily need a new laptop, but I want one and I'm pretty sure I have the funds (of my own money, thank you) to get one. The thing is, I want to build my own. I'm tired of pre-built Dells that only do so much for me. I highly doubt it, but do any of you know where/how I could get started with this? I'm thinking it could be a winter break project or something...

Also, anyone know any decent ways of getting a network to work better for you? I don't even care if it's illegal at this point~ ♥

Lol. Nah, you're good, I knew you went by Sophia here.

See, I'm fine with Windows because Linux isn't going to be compatible with my games. Yes, I realize, I'm a nutcase and my laptop should be for school instead... etc. But I'm not gonna pretend I won't be picking up various games in the process~ Been wanting to give Ubuntu a try anyway. Maybe I'll dual-boot... Hmm.

But yeah, I'll totally talk to Kurt (and Sarah, but I don't know her well at all). Thanks for the info!

Hopefully partitioning your hard drive will work. He tried to partition mine so I could keep XP for Absolute Obedience (lol), but it refused to do what he wanted. I'll get by without it for now (not that I would have the time to play it anyway). They do have some emulators, but they're really slow (and I do mean really). There will, of course, eventually be emulators that work 100% with Linux, it'll just take a few years. Ah, I forgot you don't know Sarah, but you'll most likely get along with her fine. They share an apartment (not dating though or anything like that) way over on Gadsden St.~Sophia
