Will you be paying for shipping? Last time I shipped one it cost $150 and that's not worth it.

Wanted New or used laptop
I know there are some nice people out there and everyone can't be a jerk like the one that replied to my request. There are accually some very nice giving people in this world. If I were rich and someone asked me for something and I had it to give away I certainly would help out a stranger.I doesn't hurt to be nice. Maybe someday I'll be able to return the favor. Please do not reply to my message if you are going to be rude.

Firstly, it probably doesn't pay to call the admin of the forum a jerk merely for stating that it's a ridiculous request which it is. This was your first post on the forum and you are asked for a free computer it's just pretty funny don't you think?
I know that there are definitely a lot of giving people in the world and JohnScott is actually one of them, the amount of people he has helped out over the years for nothing, at his own cost, is very commendable.
Good luck finding a generous rich person to give you a free computer mate

Seems to me the person made this thread just to test John's reaction, but I could be wrong.

Thanks Cim  - must be because it's a nice day and I can hear the birds singing as I'm typing away.
Either that or someone has just hit me with a mallet - <--The birds, get it - It's ok, I can find my own way out

Are we talking about lap'tops' or lap'dances', cause I got some free ones to give away if it's the latter.
