I lived on a farm so there you didnt even KNOW what a computer is. Then at age 8 i moved to the u.s. The first day i went to school it was really hard not knowing any language. But at school i found an interest. Computers. It was the first day i saw one. I would just sit there every day after school messing around with it. Whether it was doing sometin with solitaire i didnt get or jus doin something stupid with paint. Now as I grown up, I have gotten more and more into it. Everytime my friends ask some help on the computer, i go on a 2 hour speech really making them bored. My parents get mad sometimes because if i walk home from school and i find an old computer thrown out, I bring it back home and they always tell me to stop bringing junk to the house. So now, every penny I get, I save to get something new. I am a student at Palatine High School right now, and I am takiing clubs like cad, internet club, computer club and more. It really sucks because as much as i like to do all of this, i dont really get the chance to. My computer doesnt support half of the stuff I want to use and has a small hard drive. Its a dell inspiron 2200. I LOVE photoshop and i use it at school almost every day. I skip lunch just to go to the media center and go play around with it. I feel really left out sometimes because my friends are always playing the new games like Call of Duty 4 and World in Conflict, and as much as i would like to i cant. My computer even freezes when i sometimes do some web search. Now some people say why dont you ask your parents for a new computer. But the thing is my parents work too hard for them to just almost throw away money for me so i dont even ask. My dad is a construction worker and my mom works in cleaning service both working from 6 am to over 8 pm. Being still young (15) almost 16, im getting interested in more and more things. I already know what i want to do when i get older. I want to be a computer engineer. but this laptop right now doesnt give me the chance to do anything and pursue it. I want to be that guy who you see on a plane with a tux and that 5,000 dollar laptop on the tray. As of now, ive been just doing lots of school work and on the weekends when my friends are going out to the movies, just staying at home learning a new language like (c++) or helping a friend. Ive fixed many friends computer and helped people with sites for free. This laptop would change my life around. I could finally be able to do what i always dreamed of and pursue my carreer. Play the latest games, watch the latest movies, or do something else crazy. Now all of the reviews say you wouldnt take this laptop with you, but if i won this, i dont care if it was the size of me, I would take it anywhere. I think ive gone crazy because i wake up in the middle of the night just to look at the specs again and the picture and actually realize these are being given away. Now do i want to win this??? YES! Thats why I am sitting here writting a 50 minute page essay why i want to and being active in forums to let you know that I would NEVER ditch notebooks.com, and use this computer to the fullest if I was a winner of this wonderfull machine. Good luck to all contestants.

and notebooks.com i am sorry for putting you through the pain of reading this long essay, i just want you to know, i REALLY want to win this.

Thanks!

ive known karolis (djeuro) since the 4th grade and hes been my best friend since. Hes always been a great guy but always into technology unlike me. He is very appreciative. If someone lends him a pencil, he would remember it for a month and keep thanking them for it. Hes never won anything cas hes lame. (no im jkkk) I really do pray to god he wins this, because hes getting a carreer into what he wants to do but has no machinery to do it. Good luck buddy!!!
