    I'm 14 now, but I had a G5 1.8 and Adobe Creative Suite Premium when I was 13, do I get flamed?

    EDIT: Here's a pic, too:

    Is his family interested in adopting, oh, say, a 36 year old boy?



    I'll be really, really good.

    Actually it's not a pain at all if you know how to line the video up. My goal is to have a live feedback to an edit "bay" so that I can do a rough edit right there, and if I don't like it, fix it in FCP later. But it's not difficult to sync the video. I have a secret method of doing so.

    You are quite fortunate to have a setup like that at 13, all I can say is WOW and well... if you have extra money I could sure use one of those rigs

    I spent an 8-month stint working for the Newburyport Daily News on a 60-paper route, rain or shine. As I did the route, I'd recite the G5 system specs to myself. It was a religious experience. I did get a boost from my Mom's position as a teacher, paying $2800 for the G5 1.8 and 17"er, instead of $3200.



    The Creative Suite came for Christmas ($400 Student Edition); I bought Studio MX 2004 with my own cash, along with Final Cut Express.



    So don't bitch about 'my parents spoiling their young 'un, beause it didn't happen.

    Amen, way to go kid. I did the same thing. People always look at my gear and my car and wonder how I got it (I'm 19 yrs. old) . I worked my ass off and paid for it all myself. Makes it all the more special.

    Thanks for the compliment. And I'm 14 now, in case anyone was confused.

    And no Hyundai for me. I'm saving up for a Ducati.

    I had NO IDEA you were only 14. I hope you spend your time with your machine wisely because you've got a HUGE jump on other people your age. You're probably the most well-spoken 14 year old I've ever seen (er....read). I'm very impressed with your rig.

    Get an Aprilia instead. A little cheaper, a lot more reliable, and, really, just as fast. http://www.aprilia.com/models03/road...lo.phtml?id=55



    Both are Italian V-Twin's. If you're going to kill yourself, you may as well pay a bit less for it so you can get some fancy leathers and then die in style.

    Do your time on a 4 stroke 250cc for 6 months or so learn to ride well so you dont skittle yourself and leave that G5 rig sitting around all widowed, then move to a Japanese 600 or 750, which are ultimately more rewarding on the street where the italian machines are a pain in the arse to ride.. great for the track but less friendly on the road. The gsxr 600 & 750 are fine examples of mid sized bikes and dont have the reliability and service issues/costs the (now much better) italians have.



    When I decide what to get, i.e. 12 or 15" I will have a piccy up !

    I had no idea you were 14 either Placebo!

    Like Torifile said, you're very well spoken for a 14 year old, which is very rare these days unfortunately..

    As for your story, well, I'm now 20 (as of March) and I do basically what you did. I'm working at a supermarket, and most of the time I spend stacking or at the register is spent thinking about the computer I'm inching towards, hour by hour..

    The problem is, I know my parents would buy it for me if I asked them. That's why I got a job.

    You've gotta have motivation!

    Not really trying to derail this too much, but where do you live in Melbourne? Interestingly, I spend some time as an exchange student there a few years ago. The people I lived with had a place in Glen Iris. It's a great city. Also, quite strangely, I'm moving to a different Melbourne in 2 months. . . The people there call it Mel-born (with american soft r). You aussies trained that pronunciation out of me pretty quick. Haha.
