My grandson is going to college for the next 6 years
(Pharmacology), I gave him $300.00. There will be more (much more) when he graduates college. 3 more kids (for now) to follow. |

![]() Seriously, his educational interest is in computer graphics, animation, gaming, etc., so I'm expecting that his "dream" laptop that he worked & saved his $$ for 1-2 years ago may fall a bit short at some point. |

![]() But based on your reply, it might not be a bad investment. Pool his resources and augment with yours, and get him a nice rig. I'll be happy to help spec one out. ![]() |

Thanks for the suggestions.
![]() When I graduated HS, I got a Montgomery Ward portable typewriter. IIRC, I still got my mother to type my papers, so her plan didn't work out. When I got out of college, they gave me a suitcase, probably thinking I would move out. That plan didn't work either. ![]() |
