No, private gifts to a student would not be tax deductible. File that under
reason #1,000,000 not to fall for this blatant scam. Not to mention, he
didn't even bother to make it rhyme!

If I was an engineering student and I misspelled "laptop" as "labtop" I would wonder how I ever got into college. Also, if I were blowing tens of thousands on tuition, and could not afford a lousy $1,600 for a laptop, get a job or give blood. Sperm donors are paid money hand over fist. Also, donations to an individual are NEVER tax deductible. Also, he is going to be an upcoming freshman and his ass is so lazy he cannot raise $1600 from the end of May to the end of August? What a lazy ass! I bought my own car when I was candy ass's age with my own money I earned working at Pizza Hut. No one wiping my ass for me. Also, laptops are a lot cheaper than $1,600. Junior doesn't need the DVD to watch porn while he is going to school. He could check out the school and see if they offer deals, or if Gateway offered a student package. In short, what a scam. I hope he has been reported to Yahoo already.

Although I believe that this "desperate" cry for help was probably part of a student's experiments in scam methodology, I have to say that the term "labtop" does exist and it also predates the term "laptop". It was used to refer to relatively small and therefore easily movable - within the lab - computers that in the old days performed specialized calculations. These days laptops (as general purpose computers) can be used in a lab or on the road (as true portables), but when used within the lab their are still referred to as "labtops". Sometimes, educational institutions require specific models of labtop-laptop computers with specific configurations. The ASCII art is pretty cool by the way! :) LW In article <3b0...@news.ntlworld.com>, stu...@bigfoot.com says... > On Tue, 22 May 2001 21:15:41 GMT, "Mike Chomic" <cho...@hotmail.com> > enlightened us with: > > > I beg you, please help > > me get a labtop computer. > > Seems fair enough. > > > ._________________. > |.---------------.| > || || > || -._ .-. || > || -._| | | || > || -._|"|"| || > || -._|.-.| || > ||_______________|| > /.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.\ > /.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.\ > /.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.\ > /______/__________\___o_\ DrS > \_______________________/ > > __ [] > || [] > || [] > || [] > __ || [] > || || [] > .-||-||-.

People that use computers are not really doing the math, Learn to do the math and scientific calculations on paper, learn how to re- check and double check on paper. This help was provided by Jim Williams Apollo 8, 11 Rocket scientist. Put a head on you shoulder kid !

This is stupid how would anyone fall for this shit? I'm almost a teen. I work my ass off doing chores for ten bucks a week to save and invest in the stock market! No, not Nortel. I have a S.I.N. number, so i can start work now! Even though the law says 14. I can mow lawn etc. I have over 2,000 bucks in my bank acount and i'm saving hard!!!!! I want to go to Ryerson and McMaster, directing PhD, and Science MD. I don't want this person to give me shit saying ohh, give me money cause i'm to lazy to work my ass off! I don't believe in that spam shit, cause i'm smart! You have a long time, go get a job you lazy asshole, and jackass! Now, I'm called lazy, but in this case i'd be a person who works their ass off 24/7!! Note: sorry for the foul language, but now i'm really pissed!

You guys are just crazy, please do not say there isn't something when there is. I am a RIT graduate, thank you!Laptops don't cost as much as they use to, get a refurbished one, they are a lot cheaper.
