I.. don't know what to say... other than dressing like that, "DOSing" and grades dropping I fit all the criteria.

WHAT!? The only time I have ever, ever used my computer for less than 45 mins a day is when I am not home.
Also perhaps your *son* is asking to change ISPs because AOL is terrible!
AOL's parental controls block some of its own sites! YES! It is slow, gives too many unusable tools, and that accelerator is a piece of crap and destroys images.
As for Quake, no, but I used to play Quake III Areana online, until AOL 9.0 came to exist. Unless that was the Quake he was refering to, but what can I say Quake is nice and easy to mod.

No, those who go against you with obviously wrong information will be met with flaming. Sorry but when I hear "My computer tv will not go into the plug hole," I lose it. Now when met with somone who simple does not know and is trying to descibe something this is ok, yet when I correct this person time and time again and they still use the wrong terms when asking for my help I just lose it.

If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips.

WHAT!? What in the world does getting a graphics card upgrade or hard drive upgrades have to do with hacking. AMD, inferior knock off?

We do not use drugs, help Osama Bin Laden, are violent, we aren't un-American (applies only to US citizens), and in most cases we do not smell bad! We smell like nachos, sweat, burnt rubber, and cotton.
Plus we do not hack into NASA, just because we are at their site a lot does not mean we hack into it.
Sorry if I sound so revved up, as I was reading this I kept losing connection to my neighbors network. Its the closest thing to high speed I got! I just wish it was a little closer...
