New laptop for Suzy: about $700
Internet connection: about $45 per month, unless your neighbors are stupid*
Going to our parent's home (which has a TV from 1984, NO cable, NO DVD player, NO iPod, no cell phones, no digital cameras, and definitely no fancy new laptops or wireless internet connections) , finding that their neighbors don't secure their wireless routers, having our mother gasp "You can't get any PORN on there, can you?" and showing her that Yes, in fact, you CAN, while our father laughs and laughs and our mother turns MORE pale by the moment and bites off all her fingernails because surely the federal government is going to burst through the door and arrest her at any moment.... priceless.
This is why I love my sister. We may burn in h-e-double toothpicks together but we'll be laughing at inapropriate things the entire time.
* really. Just even set up ONE LITTLE BIT of security if you buy a wireless router. Sheesh. Set up encryption and use a key... it's RIGHT THERE in the documentation that comes with the modem.
Random thoughts, which I post while I am pretending I am STILL age 39.99999! Join me for my next 40 years...

If I click on my wireless option button, along with my own, secure line, I have two neighbors (one just across the way that names his network with his FIRST NAME) that are giving away wireless access for free.
It amazes me. What amazes me more, is that the boy, who's job is working with this stuff, hasn't gone over and had a chat with him. DUH!
Would've loved to see that look on your mom's face!
It was one of the highlights of my life, believe me.......hey, I'm not the one who suggested it...I just typed in the website..teehee. Like I said to Carly the other day "I'm not f***ing this mule--I'm just holdin' his tail"
