Comparison? I was telling you about real world issues, not a spoiled kid getting things from his daddy. Your allowance, the food you eat, the clothes you wear. If you had to pay for all that you wouldn't have anything more than some cheap dell to use.

Look, it's not like I've always had the 'spoiled kid' life. I don't get all my sh*t from 'daddy'. I don't get allowance for free, I have to do stuff for it. I don't just lay around the frucking house saying 'Hey dad can you get me a $40,000 k thanks k bye. I get enough stuff already. There are things I have to do to get my sh*t. You honestly think I would get everything for free? If you would like to let me know where I can get a job at 15...then let me know because no where here accepts 15 year olds for a job. I also, just letting you know since you obviously care so much; I have to pay for my own clothes, my dad thinks $50 for jeans is too expensive.

If you had a $2500 computer when you were 15 would you not 'flaunt' it?

Jesus, does it really matter?
You know nothing about me so thanks for letting me know what daddy pays for and what daddy doesn't. I know. You don't.

& if it makes you feel any better, I know I'm spoiled, so frucking what? If we have the money, honestly, who cares?

k im done. i know i said something that offended people,& that I shouldnt have said. I KNOW; but seriously we can be done now.

k thanks.
 
Oh yes, one more comment on parents buying everything (or most things) for their kids... it's great and fine as long as the kid is smart enough to know that life will not always be that way, I trust markkk! is smart enough for that.

But but...being spoiled is baaaaaaad...

50 dollar jeans IS too expensive..geez...they better be sown with golden thread for me to buy those.

And those were my 2 cents.
 
to: Markkk!, Cerebrum, Toothpaste, and anyone thinking of posting a malicious or jealous reply:

i tried to prevent this by posting last time. please, keep it in the "everyone 18 and under post your setups" thread, we're used to it there :D:D

let's please get back to setups.

Peace Out.

Mac Setups to jeans...no.
To get this back on tpoic (which, in a way was my fault for wandering off), here's a setup.

Hmmm...yeah...I can't agree with you on that...see...he admitted to being spoiled...not exactly a check plus on his self-defense card. But since you must know "markkk!" from childhood, then you must know what you're talking about, so I shall back off. :rolleyes:

Hey wait a minute...none of us are posting our setups...this tangent is destroying the original thread!...I think I just know who can post up a setup picture...*cough cough*

mmkay we get it.

& it's not like you know me from childhood either.

& if I didn't know I was spoiled, would that be any more mature? I think it would be ignorant to say I'm not spoiled when I have like 80 thousand computers...minus 77 thousand.

That is exactly my point, being able to admit you are spoiled shows that you have enough knoweldge of the "real" world to know that you are spoiled and living in your "dream world". If you know that you are in your ''dream world'' you can (in theory) snap out of it and into the "real" world when the time comes, until then I have nothing against enjoying it while it lasts.
 
My 2 cents

My parents bought my first computer and helped with my first car (didn't run, rebuilt in garage). To defend these kids with 20 computers, 15 cars, and a jet, while I don't support parents buying everything their kids want, I can understand why you would spurge on a computer, seeing they can be useful for school, that was my case. My parents helped me out while in high school, and I am grateful for it, because now I can make my car payment every month, my computer payment, and tution and book payments. I think spoiled is getting thrown around here too much. Buying your child nice things when you can afford to (when reasonable) is not spoiling them, but providing for them. BTW, I was nice and gave my eMac back to my parents, and even trained them with how to use them.
 
Here's the setup; I moved my eMac to the livingroom over winter break because when we had visitors there were many people in my room using the iMac & eMac (I didn't have the MacBook Pro yet). So then I moved the eMac there but I barely use it now; except for playing the SNES games using that controller that's next to it. & Now I don't use the iMac anymore at all.
& yes I know I need new floors :)

we are going to get an iPod hi-fi (& maybe a mac mini; not sure) & a new TV for our living room so that when we get an airport express we can get rid of the bose speaker system and just kind of like...consolidate all the mumbo jumbo into jsut a TV and hi-fi...we can even wirelessly stream our music to the hi-fi (while it also serves as a TV speaker). I just got done putting ALL of my dad's CD's on his iMac too...so we are alll ready (he will be the one mainly using the streaming for music)

EDIT: & sorry about the lighting, all the lights were off because of the auto flash; all the light is either from the flash or outside.

Well...admiting that you're spoiled kind of leads to the assumption that you're not too mature. I mean, have you ever heard of a "mature spoiled kid?" But you're right, I don't know you from childhood, maybe Benjamin does...but not me, you could be completely different. All I am doing is drawing conclusions and arguments based on what brief and somewhat arrogant manner you expressed yourself back there with the whole "I got money! I own a 2500 dollar computer! Let me flaunt it!..etc."

Whatever, this argument has wasted enough forum space as it is, as have your previous remarks.

Good luck accepting you're spoiled, we have all noticed your immense maturity from that reply onward.

And once more, let us drop this already.

Wow...you speak as if the kid was autistic or something. But yeah, i guess he (or anyone) can eventually mature.

How do you use the controller with the eMac?

I have SNESX emulator.

Rich.

I'm your guy's age (well, 15) & have a MacBook Pro, iMac & eMac. Seems like we have more computers than some people here and they're like....20 years older than us! haha.

I think it is the "haha" part, that might tick people off. Having nice equipment is cool, and "flaunting it" as you put it, is allright, but taunting others about having have more/better stuff than them isn't nice.

But having "more computers" isn't necessarily better than having one or a few. I only use one at the time anyway, and recently sold my PC since I didn't use it, and it was just taking up space. Having a quad in addition to a laptop would be nice, but then you have to bother with setting up syncing of the files between them.
 
Mine...now

Okay, before this, it was a peecee...but anyways.
132595608_3a67a66014_b.jpg

Its a 17" Intel iMac with a crappy Hyundai flat panel...Taken with a Canon Powershot A610...missing from the pic? (Not that anyone cares) A 5G iPod, Green iPod Mini, and a Brother laser printer. Toshiba Laptop (XP) and another computer back in the bedroom (XP) which is essentially a print server. I'd add my TiVo...but they havent added Mac yet.

All these kids are 14 with like 838538 computers. It's rediculous. Try barely affording one and when you get a brand new one.. it still has problems but you have to live with it because mommy isn't paying for a new one this time.

Yeah, mine don't pay for crap, I have a job.

And you know what, I STILL have yet to find ONE positive comment out of you. ONE.

:mad: :rolleyes:
 
I wish I had a picture of my old setup, with just the iMac G3, in a completely different house. I really liked that setup...I had it on the iMac but then the harddrive went poopie. :eek:

Not all kids with nice stuff are spoiled. I have an nice live, nice stuff, all the food i want, ect. However thats not to say i don't know that money is not endless. I have paid for my Macs, and i know my parnets have more important things to worry about with there $$$ then my Macs, such as my school payment.
 
My comments only seem negative to you because they make you think things about yourself that you don't want to.
