Okay so as I have siad before I use the computer at the library because we don't have one at home. Anyway our library got a whole new computer system in and it is rediculios. It takes so long for it to come up after the person pefore you gets done. Sometimes even using up some of your time and you only get two hours max in one day. When it takes ten minutes to finally get on that leaves you only 50 and there is no garuntee that you will get extra time. Specially if they are busy. Plus they are cutting off in the middle of our time and then coming back later which is loosing our time there too. I'm not going to jinx it right now and say something cause they are wo..... for now anyway.

WOW! You're really dedicated- going all the way to the library and putting up with those conditions. I wish it was easier for you. Perhaps, it will be soon! Keep earning. You may get your own computer!

You can find me on Youtube!

Here in Gainesville they have a limit of one hour limit plus you have to pay .25 cents every 15 minutes if no one is waiting they let you stay on longer.  They only have 3 computers but we live in a town with a little over 600 people.  My opinion this Library isn't really for school age children because they close at 3:00pm before the kids get out of school and on Saturdays they are only open from 8am to noon.  I hope you get your own computer because than you can check on your Fusion Cash more than once a day.  Have you tried to get a computer on payments they have a commercial which tells you that you can buy the computer in installments if you have a checking account, savings account, or credit card and sometimes they give you a free printer.  Have you ever heard of Gateway they help and give out credit for computers.

Are you able to participate here with the computer at the library. Seems like it would be a pain to do. Do you go there everyday?

Walmart did have one for a little over $200.  If you could get that you could go somewhere that they offer free wifi to get on the internet.  But if you have no job and no money they that's out.  Right now I couldn't afford $2. lol

before we had a pc also went to the library it was a hastle.don't know about pc's but maybe a garage sale or thrift store but you wouldn't get a warranty. Remember when the kids were in school you almost had to get one the teachers emailed stuff I said go ahead and email me but I have no pc so have fun with that.Ofcourse now would be lost without this stupid thing here this pc or stupid thing here. laptops might be or should be cheaper 200.00 sounds about right.

Man, that is a shame. I understand if there is a crowd and everyone needs to use it, but if no one is there they should let you use them until someone else needs to

During the summer I would go every morning just to get my girls out of the house. Now with them back in school we go in the afternoon so they can do what they have to for school. but right now I am sitting at Sams on one of tier computers.

I had to go to the library to do my schoolwork.  That was because the Computer Lab was damaged in a tornado.  I finally lucked up and got my own laptop.  It made it better because I could go to a Wi-Fi hotspot.  When you do not drive and you have to be on everyone else's time, as I was, I felt like I was in control for once.  I hope you luck up and get your own computer.  I really feel for you, but you have to do what you have to do. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:
