Brief synops - my family put together a good college fund for me to go the school. I am now going to college working my way to Computer degree. My family pays for my schooling, plus I do qualify for financial aide.

Few years back I asked my Mom for a new computer because I made a failed attempt to return to school. I failed to ever pay her back.

Now, I am VERY serious about returning to school and have been in school for a short while.

I have a very nice computer setup at home, but now I am stuck.

Because of where I work, the computer at work is too limited for me to accomplish any work from school, during slow times. I have an hour and a half travel time on public trans every morning and evening, LOTS of time toi get work done, but my computer is at home.

Now I want to ask for money to purchase a lap-top. I don't need anyting fancy, just about $500.

Does that sound like an adequate reason to ask for a laptop? Should I ask considering I messed up paying her back last time?

What should I do!!!? I have a wedding coming, a baby coming, and we can't afford a lap-top right now.

any ideas????
