Jacob

My name is Jacob and I m a 10th grade student. I ve been interested in how technology works my whole life and you ll see me always taking things apart and putting them back together just to get an idea of how it works and it s an amazing feeling. I finally decided to pick up on it and I ve been doing a lot of research of programming languages. I happened to be at Barnes and Nobles one day and I purchased a book on Objective-C programming and it s keeping me entertained and learning more and more every second I read it. A problem that I ran into was the fact that I don t actually own a Mac and it disables my ability to write and compile the Objective-C language. I come from a family of pride and something very expensive like a Mac, my parents would never buy for me because they are all about me buying my own things. I can t simply lose $1200 to purchase an Apple computer to pursue my dream because I m saving for a car and pay my $120 phone bill every month. I eventually looked up if there was some way I could get one of these computers as a donation and couldn t find anything. The only thing I need is a Mac capable of running Xcode that stands in any condition as long as it s working. I m sure there are possibly Apple computers sitting around that failed in the factory production because of little scratches or a missing key on the keyboard and something like that is all I need. Thank you.
