    Default I have a budget of 500$ and a flickering dream

    To make a long story short.

    -Giving my brother my old laptop
    -Starting school again in the fall
    -probably going to need a new laptop
    -I may just take notes shorthand but then the other children may bully me
    -no one likes being bullied
    -However, I don't like spending money

    Needs
    -Word Processor
    -Internet connection
    -Portable

    I care not for your geeky bells and whistles
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I would steer you toward one of the AMD Fusion laptops, since they perform normal desktop applications adequately, are usually cheap, and because of their architecture they can do some gaming.

    You can get free word processors so unless you are getting a viable student discount don't buy M$
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
