Anger? No, son, this is you being educated.

That's nice. I'd rather compare paychecks than SAT scores since in the end that's the only thing that really matters in education. The only ones who compare SAT scores and college backgrounds are tenured professors and minimum-wage slackers whinging about "the man" keeping them down.
But you're probably the exception that proves the rule.
I make six figures at the end of the year - after taxes - and have ZERO "college education" but that's offset by my certifications, training, experience, and the particular areas of expertise I specialize in. Rather than attend university and learn how to do keg stands, I decided to honorably serve my country. And that has paid numerous dividends in return.
Remember, you started this "education" nonsense by dragging in your "computer engineering majoring in parallel processing" in a vain attempt to garner some sort of "respect" here. Instead, you lost it. This is a TECHNICAL forum, no one here cares who has done what or been educated where and when. They care about how INTELLIGENT they are when it comes to discussing the pros and cons of this particular piece of information technology kit and how to make it better and do things the original creators - Nokia - never intended.
And for the record, in 1995 I was in Bosnia, designing information networks for UN and then NATO forces there while you were still taking your SATs.
I figured if you were going to throw in off-topic nonsense then I would see your bet and raise it.

Then sell it and buy a UMPC.
