I've decided that my best option is to bite the bullet and get off my lazy arse. Yea, I don't believe it either, but I'm actually going to get a job this spring. Between cutting 3 lawns a week ($120/w)and a real job ($40-$80/w), I should have enough cash laying around to buy a new system by the time everone comes out with thier new hardware, driving the price of old, but still decent stuff down, providing that my parents let me buy a system. I'm not in a good finiancial position at the moment. I'll be in Germany for 10 days in June ($1500), I'll be 17 in December, which means a car (1-2000) plus insurance (an ungodly high amount), and colledge in a few years. With any luck, and some hard work, I can get most, if not all of my tuition and books covered by the good tax-paying citizens of the United States, plus a small allowance. Which will then be paid off by at least 6 years in the Marine Corps, most likely life. Unfortunatly this may not be possible due to my borderline asthmatic condition.

I'm moving to Mass! In Jersey they only give us 6.15, going up to 7.15 minimum in October. I'm getting a job with my neighbor instead of retail, he owns a landscaping business and he told me he could give me $18 an hour. (instead of 6.20 at the grocery store)
