maybe right after thanksgiving? nov30?

one from near Stanford. count me in :) I can help too

I'm not sure if this would fix it, but try this update; I haven't tried it, since I don't have a floppy, but I will once I get my usbflash drive setup as bootable

Samsung 213T. I have one (replaced a Sony G520) and it's stunning

hm actually, a shorter-term mortgage might be more attractive (i.e.-15 years or less). i'd rather have the peace of mind of owning the house fully. other than that, no good reason :)

actually, yes. i'm not viewing rent as the same as a mortgage. and i've found a couple of potential roommates who are going to be staying in the area after graduation too, so we'll probably share.

reason i would rather buy a house, atm: it feels more secure; i guess it just feels better (for me, anyway) to feel that i fully own the place i live in. and anyway, i'm viewing it as a very long-term investment

in cali for school. not sure where i'll be after, but i'll probably be working in cali for a few years, so i'll rent an apartment (that's what most of the people i work with do) and then maybe move back to the east coast. maybe. but i'm definitely not going to be able to buy a house straight out...

well then i guess it's good that i've already started saving and investing eh?

yup, a few years down the road. first, though, i need to graduate and work for a bit :)

um, at no point did i say i bought a house... I'm merely expressing my views on how I feel like managing my finances. and why bring my age into this? i'm still in college, and i've been working my butt off for the past few summers saving up. so get your facts straight :disgust:

i know it's a historically low rate, but nevertheless, i guess i'm just not used to borrowing (i just don't like paying interest:))

ouch 7.5%! This is why I will NEVER mortgage/borrow :)

i get pretty reasonable pings with an 802.11b connection. I've played 4 player RoN with no problems

bingo. current 30-yr mortgage rates are ~5.98%.
