How can you afford it?

After being away several months, I notice many of the same faces are still spending all day posting, despite their assurances that they work. One even spent a whole day waiting until 5.30 pm before posting just to prove she is employed!!! (only people unemployed or on benefits for years would assume the average work day is still from Nine-to-Five LOL!)

 

My question is, how do you afford to be here so much? Do you live off savings, an inheritance, divorce settlement, or do you simply chat from a library or a second hand notebook on limited internet usage?

 

To get a decent computer costs at least $2000 and without good internet connection, chatting on a forum isn't even worth it, so are these regulars going into debt over the boards? Would a bank even loan or credit them enough to supplement their activites and time usage here?

 

It's all very puzzling...

No, tis an old chinwagger. Not that they know me from those days either, nor do I know them.

I read the posts properly. They quoted and then answered the question as another.

 

I am sure it is incorrect, but twisted all the same you'd agree.

I guessed that the OP is someone from the CW days, but I never posted there, so I know nothing except that it's not the people who so far have been accused of being the OP

sorry for going OT everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, that is likely, they even have had whole conversations going on between themselves (2 diff ID's, same person) in the recent past..

A3 apple laptops do come with large screens. I'm not sure what they're called, but I have a graphic designer friend who owns one.


I know they do and they cost a lot more than $1800, which is what they claim they paid for their laptop with an ENORMOUS screen.


 

LOL am*3, jealous that I snared a bargain? And you didn't know laptops came with larger screens and you stated emphatically that they only made laptops with larger screens 10-12 years ago ๐Ÿ™‚


just curious here, what is your definition of large?

 

what is your definition of enormous?

 

I mean, you do know that when they told you ====>                              <==== that that was 6 inches, they were just tricking, don't you?
