Sugar in the tea? Here.. cold sweet tea is the most popular drink.

Of course, Hot with 1/2 Sugar!

But no sugar in coffee, thats just wrong :) .

I prefer coffee to tea really but my family drinks gallons of tea so I have to have it once in a while... :D

I cant believe how dark my setup looks, need to play about w/ lighting on my camera! (its about 3 times as bright in real life)
 
@E-Clipse:

Yeah, I was playing about with brightness/contrast in Photoshop but it makes my image look to grainy, ill post yours up instead anyway, thanks :D .

<a bloody mess>

Dude, you have some slick stuff, but how are you licing in such mess? I couldn't do with that for 5 minutes, I'd fix all that mess in 8 minutes, seriously. Tidy it up, it'll make your mom happy, and you'll have a 20 times sweeter setup...;)
 
@Josias:

I actually like living in a mess though! Thats what my mum doesnt understand... Once she cleaned my room and I hated it, can't find anything etc... :p

Btw the beige tower isn't a PeeCee, its a Pegasos (600mhz G3, W/ 60GB hard drive, radeon 9200 SE, DVD-Rom and CD-RW)(http://www.pegasosppc.com) im using it to develop software for the OS (Morphos) and hopefully I can use it just as much as my Mac Mini when the OS finally gets full KHTML support! :D One thing that does work on it is Blender which is cool for such an obscure operating system... Theres a system you probably don't see every day! And yes I am a nerd... :p ;) :D

I'm 16 now. got tis last march.

Love your eMac! Gonna get Tiger for it, or wait for Leopard? :)

BTW, how does MySpace run on it? Cause it sucks on my eMac with Safari (Firefox isn't that much better). It gets so bad I usually use my Dell or HP! :eek:

PLEASE move that iMac further away from you. It's just not healthy. You'll see how much space you get.

No, I cannot do that. My eyes are bad and if I moved iMac towards the wall, I'd have to lean towards it to see anything on the screen :eek:

Josias said:
Can you hear a difference from moving the iSub to the floor?

Yes, there seems to be more cleaner bass. The only issue I'm getting with this "floor subwoofer" is that I always accidentally kick it with my legs :D but I'll get used to it.

Runs like crap on both my PB and my iMac. Myspace just sucks in Safari.
 
Okay, I don't mean to sound like a Negative Nancy here, but where the hell do you people get your money? I'm 15 right now, and the most money I've ever had in my wallet was 75 dollars. I've looked for jobs, but never seem to find any that pay decent, I get more money mowing my lawn than I would working all week at McDonalds (the only job that will hire 15 year olds around here). Where do you guys work?? Any ideas for a broke kid to make money?

Well there are more jobs to do than those at stores and such. There are people willing to pay for kids to get money.
For example, my friend was in a film competition and got an article in the paper, and she got people offering her jobs that weren't like....for McDonalds or something. There are more ways to get jobs than just going to a store or corperate place and jst apply. Those jobs usually suck. Try and find something 'private', where employers are looking for you, rather people looking for employers.

Today, I was suppose to go to this psychology thing where they ask me questions. I think it is a RAAD study thing, and they give me $15 + $7 per hour just for being there answering questions.

There are more ways to get money than just jobs at places like Mcdonalds. You can't sit there and say "there isn't a place for me to work because I am 15". Also, if you work at McDonalds just for 15 hours a week you'll get that's like...$75 a week. A full time is 40, but that is just 15. You can make $75 mowing the lawn in one week? (I did that estimation assuming it was just a $5.00 an hour position, which I'm sure you could get more). Making $75 a week is like.....$300 a month.

work dude.
and look for deals, spend your money wisely.
if you dont want to work deal drugs.
those are your options
 
You can also make a **** ton of money selling stuff on ebay, as the saying goes, people buy anything on ebay! (One one I just made up anyway...)

I don't have a job so maybe you people will look down on me, I got my stuff from working ******* hard at school though, and also you gotta make your money last, so try and get the cheapest deal on everything... Yes im 16 and I really should get a job, Im waiting till im 17 though as there are hardly any jobs here for people my age at the moment (Ive applied for 2 with no response) If this is the case where you live just try and make money other ways, moneys money at the end of the day, whether its worked for or made on ebay ;)

EDIT: also, ever thought about doing stuff like web design? I made some money doing that online...

SAVE YOUR MONEY!
i dont get allowance or anything, so i had to save for two years, from b-days, holidays, a job, whatever. dont spend it on small things like ipods, PSPs, DSs or GAMES! just save save save, put it in the bank, that way you wont be as tempted;)
