If you don’t have a computer how are you posting this?

You won’t get a free one. Get a job and buy one just like everyone else has to.

Wow are you serious Jules22871 use some common sence, I’m in a friends house and unless you like to people in your house using your computer at all hours I would think the welcome would grow really thin after many nights of using your computer so to not be a bother to my friends I need my own computer, and since your so lucky to have a job good for you I lost my job do to this big F**up that has been going on with the economy. And from the looks of it you must live in bumble F** nowhere. I wouldn’t be asking for a computer if I had my own use some common sence, and its called help.com not be a **** to other people with smart *** remarks like that, thats not helping now is it.

I don’t have a job. I can’t walk. And yes, I have had friends and family at my house several times to use my computer and at odd hours.

So you think because of the bad economy you deserve a free laptop. Shoot, there are people out there that don’t have the money to pay rent and you think you are so special you deserve a free laptop. WOW, you must be one awesome person!!! Since you are so awesome, you shouldn’t have a problem finding another really great job.

And yeah, I do live in bumble f*** nowhere and I like it here. But we don’t have great people like you around to hand out free laptops too. Maybe I ought to move to where you are and someone can give me a free laptop too.

Wow you must really have no life to even respond back to me, seriously stop you are so low class to be responding to me in such a way that shows your true colors of bumble f** nowhere style or should I say trailer maybe. And yeah you should come to the big city see how real people do things. If you havnt noticed you must hate the world cause like I said before its called HELP.COM, Your not helping so do a favor to yourself and go be mad at someone else for asking HELP.COM. Seriously if I would have know that I was going to get a smart *** remark from this website and a person like you I wouldn’t have even posted anything so just stop your crap, again go be mad at someone else.

Why are you getting upset? Did you actually think that someone was just going to say sure I will send you a laptop right away? Jules statement was correct. You keep referring to it being help.com so heres some help. As stated earlier you can get a used one for cheep or barter for one by doing something for whoever has one for trade. You can look for discarded PC’s and combine parts to make one. Theres a lot of different options out there instead of asking for someone to give you one for free. Hope this helps :-)

Do you actually think that someone is going to go out and buy you a laptop? Go and buy a used one then you will have one. Why doesnt your parents buy you one? The answer to that question will be the same for everyone else. Hope this helps :-)

okay.. “the clue” that was mean, the only reason why people will not help other people get computers is because thier too rich to even help out a poor person, but i agree mrs. teddy bear could get a laptop that is good and used for a low price

Monicaxreye: Its not being mean it just telling it like it is. A lot of people come on here thinking that they deserve something without working for it or just because they ask for it. Not going to happen. The schools rent laptops to their students also. So when people come here asking for someone to buy them a laptop or what ever, I will tell them just like it is. NO!!!!! Hope this helps :-)

1 word.. netbook.. they half crappy spec but are really small and cost a quarter of the price of a proper computer, plus you don’t need any periferals exept power and a working internet connection.. i got one and i probbly use it more than my quad core….

plus with a service called on live soon you can play crysis on it (as long as you have mobile brodband or a broadband connection)…

Guys i’ve been reading through all this and was just wondering how some of us can really misuse this wonderful technology to only exchange hate and selfishness!! ok, am in Uganda running a small communication bussiness but some times i meet people who come from the first world economy seeking for help! what do i do? is it reminding them of where they come from and that they are much better than me? NO brothers. I reach out my hand and help with the little my tiny hands can afford. Help is just help, we can all need it at some times in life.

If you want a free laptop then simply F*** off - work for it as everyone else has said. It is just so annoying to hear you all whining for something. Mine as well go get hobo clothing and beg for money….pricks.

LMAO!!! Hate to burst your bubble, I bet you thought that people where giving out free laptops to anyone that asked. Reality check NOT HAPPENING. Thats how it is plane and simple. If you need one bad enough then you will find a way. Barter, trade or even find someone that you can do odd jobs for, to pay for one. No need for me to sugar coat it, straight up truth.

I am disabled and have no money not enough to eat really good food or buy new shoes,and I am sick from time to time but I bought a laptop for 1,500 almost four years ago and I have studied so much about computers and have gone beyond just being a simple user, no not expert yet lol. but one point you all may want to think about is what if the person is to ill to work but can study and use the information to aid others ummmm sure give away laptops but make the ppl learn how to use them and take a study course who knows they could invent something great but I think a year of study would just be a beginning,why give some one something that costly if they would sell it for drugs if they miss a class kick them out have zero tolerance,what about older ppl that live alone but cannot grasp what a computer can do so lets share the computer with every one. and make the ppl who start making money pay for the computer they got for free.

Having a laptop will not provide for your family. You can get a job without one and start saving to purchase one for yourself. No one is sending you a laptop so stop waiting and go get a job. Hope this helps :-)
