They don't lower the price because its more money in their pockets. I mean, they know people are going to buy it, so if they don't try to get too much moola out of people they know they are going to get away with it. This is what I think, anyway. Razz
@D. Ein - Just so you know, I said that it worked fine after I stopped looking at porn. I can understand that it sounds like an excuse so that I don't have to place the blame on myself, but believe it or not, it was my friend that got the viruses on it, unless I downloaded some bootleg copy of a DVD or something that came with a virus strangely around that time, and seeing as I've only downloaded one DVD (cough) and that was about a week ago, I don't think that's very like. But sure, let's bring Microsoft anyway, its their fault they don't lock up the motherfuckers that came up with the viruses. Razz
^^^That was a joke, before anyone comes in and starts bashing me. Wink
@Dudeman - I'm trying not to take sides, but every Windows box I have seen has the system requirements on the box. However, I may be wrong. You can probably take it back; my dad bought a game for me that I wanted to take back, so he carried it in, and when they tried to tell me that I had opened it and could not return it, he started yelling, and I got a refund. Smile Try that. Wink
Seriously, contact Microsoft. Go to their website and find that particular software and see if they have any information there. If not, email them, and force those bastards to give you system requirementy goodness! Razz
And as for your walking to school problem, I do believe you said you were sixteen, right? If so, why don't you get a car? You can probably find one somewhere that's driveable enough to get you to school. May not be a "cool" car that's going to get all the ladies banging on your door for a ride, but it'll keep you from walking. And when I say this, I literally mean it; find a cheap ass car. I've seen some in my area for $1000 or so. Find one like that (and that's $3000 cheaper than my computer, so if you have a more modern computer, a vehicle could possibly possibly be cheaper than a new PC).
I don't know what to suggest for the whole job thing, however. If you think it would fuck up your school work and, evidently, your life, it might be better that you don't get one, but you must to have realized by now that in another year or two (if you don't go to college) that you're going to have to get a job, anyway, because you can't bum off your parents all the time. And, to be honest, if the way you've been acting is true, I don't think your parents would really want you to hang around. I can understand why you act like this, because I'm literally pissed off all the time, too, but if you are going to go that path and try to bum off your mom, then you might as well be nice to her....
I suppose that's all for now. Smile
