Perfectly worthy thread IMO. There won't be a lock unless some of you guys keep on souring it up.
CCC, if you don't like the thread just stay out of it. Those remarks aren't needed.

thanks. well i got a 2030 on the SAT and my parents are all about me putting in volunteering hours instead of getting a job because hours look better on the transcript and with that score, i can get in an above average college. but hey, im going to take it again aiming for atleast 2100. and, is there any way to get the fan on without the 4 button process?

Im not your parent, but if you were my son i would make you get a real job so you get a touch of reality/ common sense in your life.

*edit* about the volunteer hours and such, that might of been true in the past with schools but (at least in my area, and with people I know) schools and jobs are looking for strong dedicated people who have worked while going to school instead of having some volunteer experience. Because anyone with common sense knows that you didn’t volunteer every single day and your time management/ people skills/ being a well rounded person skills are probley lacking.
I just graduated from college this may and I had three jobs lined up before I even walked the stage. I worked 36 hours a week while being enrolled in at least 12 hours in school and I had a decent but not great gpa. On each of those offers I beat out literally dozens of other qualified applicants. I’m not saying im awesome or bragging about myself but some real world experience takes you farther than you will ever realize.

BTW for all the college seekers in the crowd, take some advice I wish I'd gotten before I went to school: where you went for undergrad doesn't mean dick. Go to a party school and get a good GPA while having fun and saving money, you'll be far better off later on.

Thanks. I am very frustrated.

i mostly agree with this.....but i cannot tell you how many benefits there were to going to lehigh, whcih was expensive.
not that an expensive school is better, but wherever you go, make sure the career services is good, and alumni support is strong. if alumni have a connection to the school, you'll never be out of a job. very off topic, but couldn't help but respond.
and student loans SUCK.

Not bashing you just saying you have to be careful with blanket statements like that.

i actually would love to know the answer too, not to save money, but because sometimes, i don't want cold air blowing on me, but i want the vent blowing. it's a PITA to do, there must be an easier way.

You should get a non-navi. All i have to do is press the A/C button to turn it off and then use the up/down to control fan speed. Trade you my non-navi for your navi?
