Let's buy Edwin a PC before he explodes. It's for the common good.

Hurray, Edwin is back!

Dammit, I missed the chance to donate!

And part 2 is away.

Clover, I don't need a video of him checking his email but if you want to provide one, that's fine =)

GWJ outdoes itself at every turn. IMAGE(http://www.hannenfamily.info/pics/louie/happy%20crying.gif)

Yep. Apparently the dust is a continental thing, not just a national one...

Welcome back, Edwin.

Folks, that was truly an awesome gesture. I really do love being a part of this community. I just wish I had seen this early enough to get in on the donations!

Well, this certainly belongs in...

I talked about this a few pages back and I don't think it should.

We helped out our friend and that's awesome but if we toss it in the commandments we're sort of immortalizing his troubles.

I'm down with putting it up there if I'm alone in feeling that way but I think this should be Edwin's (peer pressure free) call, ultimately.

Welcome back Edwin, if you still find yourself lacking decent games let us know.

Welcome back Edwin. Love the change in avatar.

Rat Boy makes one pimp Mo-Zes!

I'm tempted to sig that.

But, seriously...

Have you read what's in there? If we left it up to people that the thread's revolving around there'd be nothing in there.

Yeah, there was a discussion about that a few pages back and I like the argument for why its not a goodjer commandments thread.

Bravo, Goodjers! Thanks everyone. He even logged into his Steam account after, like, a year.

I'm not going to blame dust, my heart is cold and black but I teared up by the end.

Unfortunately I couldn't contribute at this time, but I'm so happy to be a member of a community that would do something like this.

Edwin, you seem like a great guy and you deserve to have something good happen.

Impossible. Or at least a limit approaching impossible.

Also, I think there's something kind of wonderful about pulling together to help someone in our family, quietly patting ourselves on the back for a job well done and then moving on. This isn't really going to mean anything to anyone that wasn't a part of it anyway, so I don't think it's important to save as a reference. Besides, I'm sure this won't be the last time we pitch in to take care of our own. No one did it to be remembered, they did it because they're goodjers.

Speak for yourself. I did it because Oily promised me a commemorative collector's coin with my face engraved on the face and Edwin's new machine on the tails.

Gee, try to honor people doing a stand-up thing and I get it thrown back in my face.

How dare you be nice?!

No, seriously, you're not wrong to want to immortalize goodgers being awesome in the place where we immortalize goodjers being awesome. I don't think anyone's saying that. I just, personally, don't think it fits.

Who would have thought all my insane promises would spin this wildly out of control? To those it concerns: they tested the mold out with chocolate but it's going to take some more time getting that much gold together if you want that pony lifesize. The hookers are ready to go, though (I don't want to hear about it, tboon. You knew it would take time).

Oh man, not at all. Personally, I would be thrilled to have a thread I was a part of be in the commandments but I don't think this is it. =)

But as I said, I think it should be Edwin's call or, barring that, a general consensus. This isn't like, say, boogle's thread where we felt bad for him but at the same time you could see the humor in it.

I've had my say (more than my say, really) and if you choose to leave it on there, Rat Boy, part of me is thrilled. Don't let a few people's opinions stop you since I'm betting a large number of people who agree with me also want people to know how awesome this community is =)

Cats love boxes!

So do I. Boo yah!

So I guess I can just throw away these "I helped Buy Edwin a Computer because I'M AWESOME, and the most humble person you'll ever meet" t-shirts I made for everybody.

*sniff*

Exactly.

GWJ FTW!

I only regret that I did not realize (until it was too late) that this thread went from collecting used PC parts (when I first viewed it) to donating money for a new laptop.

I propose that the next step be for Edwin to make a Steam wishlist (for games that his laptop can handle) and those of us who missed out on the initial donating commence gifting Edwin some games.

EDIT: Hmm... on his Steam profile, there is no link to 'Add to your friends list'.

While it's not Steam, Edwin should be able to pick up some New Hotness from Amazon by now. As for what the lappy can handle, the issue is really what *can't* it handle

This! Kannon and I did not have the means to help out the first round, but bills have now been paid and we would love to buy a game for him.
