Chris, I'm sorry you are unable to get a Mac, but please don't giv up. If you save up you will be able to get one. Just keep your chin up high, and it wil come. I've had to wait for mine, I've gone through high school, and now in to college, and finally have saved up to make payments. I wish I had the money to buy everyone a Mac. Hey that would be sweet! I would do it if I could. I just am unable to. All I can say is to keep saving. It isn't what you want to hear, but that' that.
I wish you the best on your Mac adventure.
