ok heres the thing, we need a new computer.. ours is 8 yrs old and getting older. Its at the point of ridiculus. anyway I need help explaing to my parents why we need a new one, they dont understand that a new computer has MORE memory BIGGER harddrive, better video card ect. they really dont know what any of that is… they think I want to be spoiled and just want everything, but thats not it, they think that this thing is top of the line, its the fastest ECT. I just cant wait until we do get a new (if we do) they will speechless sayiny you were right it is faster, better, ect.
PLEASE HELP… I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES BEGGIN’!
lol….show them some examples……do a simulated banch mark for example how Microsoft Word take oh lets say 5 minutes to load on your machine and how it loads in 5 seconds on a P4. That’ll get them talking…
well, you do need a new one, I’m not saying you don’t. 8 years would make it a 1998, and I know how frustrating having one of those (or lower) can be. I had one until recently. The best ways to impress your parents are:
-Do your homework. Find a computer that has everything you need and is cheap and preferablly on sale. Search the net and bestbuy.com until you find the perfect one. Cheap is the key though, otherwise they probablly won’t give in.
-Offer to pay for part of it. Save your money until you have a substantial amount, or maybe even enough for the whole computer, depending on how much money you can save. I don’t know how old you are, but offer to up chores and jobs around the house. If you expect to be able to whine to them and get a computer, it won’t happen. If you want it, work for it.
-Show them what they’re missing. Take them to Best Buy and bring them to the computer section. Make sure to show them one of those 3.X ghz, lcd screens that are playing DVDs. That should grab their attention. Show them what benifet THEY will get out of it. Maybe it can allow them to pay bills online, or something like that.
yeah but what do you really use your computer for? do you have a dad that blames a slow computer on you, when it is the computer? we here need a computer to play games not from 1996 the new ones, not just me my dad, but he thinks that because that “my games” now are on it his new ones wont work…
