To accept, or not to accept

I got a mail today from Microsoft, they want me to start beta testing Microsoft Update using Media Center Edition 2005. They want to send me a computer for that, and that's the problem. Normally there wouldn't be a problem, but a computer is not a cheap and small thing. So the toll might be interested in it. The agreement doesn't clearly state if Microsoft will pay for those expenses too. I don't even know if there will be any expenses from the toll because it's not my hardware, it's only for loan. That's the problem, and looking at the toll's homepages doesn't help. There isn't anything there regarding this kind of things.

The other problem I now have is that I got even more stuff to do on my own free time from school. Luckily there shouldn't be anymore "surprises" because that's the only new course we have in this school year. Even the teacher is a bit surprised why he's in charge of the course because he's a math teacher, and the course is about projects of all kinds. To top it all off, the project we have to make isn't good enough, there's even an exam about it. I'm just getting tired of school, I need a break. Too bad there's not a break in sight for a month or so. Damn summer vacation never seems to start early enough.

But first things first, I need to make my decision regarding the computer issue by Friday or I can forget the whole thing. Oh woe is my brain, so it's time to concentrate on my stomach. Pasta time!
