Harder to get a bus on Sunday so I didn't go to the library

next sunday, go to the library *instead of* church. church is
wasted
time and money.
Yes, but Bill seems trapped in the church's system. Weren't they
the ones
who were going to help him get an apartment? I guess attendance at
Sunday
is what they ask in return...
BTW, I do not know the US market that well, but I would be
surprised if a
computer would really have to cost $2000. Not even brand new. And
when
you have only very little money a three/four year old one from the
second
hand store will do just fine. Some people/companies where I live
give
them away for free to schools and charities.
They give away to school and charities and not to inviduals.
Perhaps where you are, but around here there _are_ (or have been,
anyway) free computers being given to poor people. In addition, there
are people like me who have too many old computers/parts lying about
that need to go to a new home, just so we can fill the space back up
with newer stuff (except that I collect old computer gear).

Of course, this stuff http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/about/history.php could
explain something of that.
That difference is worth mentioning because they can still
get back what they gave under US tax system.
You've better get the facts straight beofre you raise false hope.
