nice move :thumbsup

someone should pick this kid up.

yeah, just read about that, he mentioned he wanted to give away 1000 to charity,

buy a new computer, buy christmas presents for his family and save some with 2k left.. :\

something doesnt fit lol

how can i research it jesus, 3k D:

The other day we had the "fall festival" at my ten year kid's school, where I ran into their computer teacher. He told me he was having issues with their connection and couldn't figure it out. My daughter told him to reboot the router, and sure enough it worked.

Kids these days.... Computers are easy for them.

wow, amazing.

awesome .

Sounds like a smart kid.

I just choked on my lunch. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

1000$ charity
1000$ new computer
100$ mom's gift
100$ dad's gift

there is 800$ left to save, not bad for a 12 yo kid

Pretty slick.

Smart + Luck = Money

Awesome.

That's what I figured also.

thumbs up for smart kid...

watch for him later....hacker..lol

figured since hes a computer pro, he would get the most badass system available

watch for him later ... security expert for firefox :)

He will get the most badass computer because he will spend $995 for components and build it himself.
