Hey, OP! You might check this thread out. A software solution that has made others able to play on their otherwise unsupported computers.

I don't think you truly understand just how hard hit some of us are in the economy.
I have been laid off already for 5 months. The difference is that I have purposefully controlled my self and avoided having a family, as I follow the economy closely and knew we were going to be in trouble years ago. I have saved the majority of what i made, and at present have more then enough cash on hand to weather the storm for at least 2-3 years. (even though I will be employed within the next 3 months)
And I didn't make an insane amount of money to do it. I just didn't go spend money like crazy.
Even I can afford a desktop pc if necessary (even though I already have 5 of them)
My point is that if you lack the cash flow, you made a mistake or a decision that caused you to lack the cash flow. A bad economy is no excuse. If you lack the cash flow it is in your best interest to put full attention to solving that problem, and give up EVE until you do.
uu a smart guy in the building :)
I lost my job as soon as the crisis stomped. And was ameasly 600$ per month job and I live alone and need to sustain myself 100%. Also in a3rd world coutnry that has 120% taxes over any computer I need to import. And know what? Even so I can manage my wallet so I coudl upgrade my system. If I can do that, almost anyone else can do as well. In msot cases if you are soo deep in money issues its YOUR fault! Most peopel did not lost a job. If you didn't lost a job NOTHIGN should have changed to you. Unless you are not exceptionally smart and buy everythgin on credit card.

It was stated by CCP that there would be NO PERFORMANCE gained deleting older accounts still stored by the database. So why delete? it further adds into marketing and customer retention and saves manpower to delete the old characters. Win win for both sides really. =============

Don't get out of home much hey?
One of the big reasons I stuck with a laptop with classic client for so long was that I found myself playing through public/cafe wireless more than at home. ---

God, i hate seeing people write down that they can't afford a $200 pc. Seriously, if you bought a pc 5 years ago and you would have saved 1 dollars a week for a future upgrade, you would not have been complaining now.
Computers will need to be replaced every 4 years if not sooner.
Get it in your head!
i use my computer at least 30 to 40 hours a week, it is a tool i use the most of any tools i have. So i make a saving in case it dies on me. as simple as that.

But, but, but, everyone is saying how cool the laptops are. All the hippest chicks have laptops..
I love this laptop loving world and the tears that come from the laptop users when they realise just how crappy machines they bought. My desktop computer costs like a normal laptop (Q6600 @ 3,25GHz, 4GB, 4870 1GB) but it can kick ass of any laptop (except perhaps those perv laptops with dual GPUs and battery time measured in ms (but those are kinda expensive)).

In am in a position of actually needing a computer + internet access during the day when I am away from home. I even have one of those overpriced and over hyped "tablet" laptops. This is not by choice as someone in administration decided to design a couple of university classes around using a pen on the screen. Honestly, a laser mouse would do just as well for $1000 less and an order of magnitude more GPU power.
Had to spend two upgrade cycles worth of money on the laptop. Now neither my desktop(nearing 6 years old) nor my laptop(no dedicated GPU on a $2k laptop I am required to buy is simply a racket) are in very good shape for games these days, though I have managed. Such is the price of university, I am something of an exception, though.
Most people get laptops because they are "cool," can be used away from a desk(comfort), and have the perception of being "untethered." They are not very practical for most people. Ironically enough many laptops should be used at a desk, and in variably should be plugged in anyway!

I have a laptop for a reason; I am at Uni and lugging a desktop home on a train just isn't an option. Unfortunately it's really crap (Dell+Vista=).
One of my flatmates does have a desktop with him and I remember the confusion and lolz that went around as he and his brother carried it up the stairs into our flat. It took them at least 2 trips each to carry it all up here.
So yeah, laptops are much more versatile and that's the reason I have one (seeing as I plan on doing quite a bit of traveling in my time I will most likely get another one when this one runs out of will to survive).

I said it before and I'll say it again...
If you can afford $15 a month to play with internet spaceships, then you can afford to save up the money to build a cheap rig that will run the game just fine. If not, then you really shouldn't be playing the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats the problem they're all using laptops if they had a gaming laptop they wouldn't be crying about being unable to play but how much a gaming laptop costs. remember kids you get what you pay for.

Perhaps the OP doesn't pay $15 per month to play Eve?
I haven't had to pay any RL money for 2 years, and I can't be the only one. ISK converted to GTC/PLEX makes me a happy boy in the current economic climate. Fingers crossed that my laptop doesn't die, of course !
