Let me clear up some things---
Okay, must of you are saying: he should be buying a bike and enjoying himself outdoors. I already bought a bike. Also, I'm spending TONS of time outside, I have a lawn service and make my money there. The only time I'm really on the computer is mainly at night, if I'm bored (summer vacation), and in the morning.
I AM BUYING THE POWERBOOK WITH MY OWN MONEY.
My parents are doctors, but my Dad doesn't want to get it for me, he thinks if I want something, then I should get it myself. ---So that's my choice. And I would feel better if I bought it myself, with no one's help, like my accomplishment.
You guys are saying "kid", technically I am a kid, but I'm going into 8th grade, having to deal with a lot of shi* from other kids(because I have a hearing disability). I am a young man, going on 14, and very mature for his age.
I just wanted to say that, because I'm more than a "kid".
Thought I would clear that up.
