is good also! It is cheap, and many companies are switching to it. Their 101 language package seems REALLY nice!

I'd say, if you're between interests, to try a bunch of things and see which one ends up catching you.

(I've noticed that I can't choose an interest, they choose me.)

You're right there! My mother told me about things that to ME just seemed like things I did, but SHE noticed I looked in depth, and was compulsive. They chose ME also!

Can someone suggest ways for me to pass time?



I know exactly what you mean. I often find that I lose interest in things very quickly and want to find other things. Try to find something that you would be willing to understand completely instead of just enough to get a basic feeling for it. For me, I do math and I know I can never exhaust all possibilities even if I only focus on the elementary level. Also try new things even if you don't think it will be interesting just to experience things. You might generate more interests this way.

No, I am poor. I want an interest that doesn't require me to spend money :)
