How I did it: I used to say I'd save up a bit here and there. But something always came up that ate into that.

I used to say something better would pop up and I'd regret getting that model.

But the only thing I had until now was a falty broken ssoftware/hardware incompatable 333MHZ processor computer that refuse to allow me to do anything other than review old files stored in it's memory, with a pause every seven minutes while it locked up for a minute.

I used to think using public access computers was all I needed.
But then I got an illness that can leave me house ridden and then I got trapped in thehouse by a problem recently.

Enough excuses. Spend nothing more then the bare minimun you need for a month and a half. Call in debts if you have to. Then go to walmart buy one of the computers or laptops for under 400$. Then make whatever adjustments you need in your life to be able to pay it off.

Lessons & tips: You will always find a way not to be able to afford it, but if you buy it you can fairly easily find a way to survive and get by on a tighter budget until the drop in your savings is recouped.

Resources: Acer, Walmart, loss of patience with fate gremlins.
