    Wont be around as much this summer, air conditioner related.

    My mom got me a new air conditioner, but it's so powerful that it overloads the circuit if I have anything in my room on while the damn things on. she refuses to take it back and get a weaker one too. So I cant be on the computer, watch TV, or any of that while the air conditioner is on. michigan summers can be hellishly hot, so the things gonna be on most of the day. I'll probably only be able to drop in at night, or during the day via the PSP.

    Couldn't you just run an extension cord into your room for the computer?

      everything upstairs and on the west side of the house is on the same circuit. stupid 1970's wiring.

        Oh.... lame.

        I can empathize. The house I'm about to leave was built it 1937. It has all sorts of electrical issues.

        As for the AC, I'd just keep bugging your mom until she switches it.

          I know what you mean Valk. It's 11 pm and it's JUST TURNING 80 here.

          My AC units are so old, they're basically just overblown fans so they don't provide much cooling.

            My AC is so powerful, I'm sitting here wrapped in a blanket by a fire. Made of $100 bills.

              So... the fire is made of $100 bills? Or the blanket?
              Hell, why not both!

                My room is a ****ing sauna! Every other room in the house is air conditioned just fine, except for the one I sleep in. I blame the government!

                      Whenever my AC is on, my room smells of a decomposed corpse.

                        Laptop? That might work if you just wanna cruise the forums. Not that expensive if you get a used old one.

                            I know what you mean on the old wiring. There are a total of three outlets in my room, all on the same side. And with a TV, PS2, lamp, VCR, window fan, cell phone charger, boombox, etc. it gets to be a bit of a hassle.

                              Way to be mean, I'm just saying if you really want to use a computer and can't use outlets Laptops are the way to go.
