So my pc has broken down and I won't be able to play online for a while. I am currently using my ps3 for web browsing until my laptop comes in. Problem with the ps3 is that it only has java implimented into the blu-ray player and not the stupid web browser, so I can't play any games. Even worse is the fact that I can't go on vacation because it's my move in some of my games. I could install Linux on this thing, but that brings it's own problems. Is there anything else I can do? I have less than a day to move...

I went to every one in my area and surprisingly enough, none of them had java which was very odd.

The problem there is that the online environment isn't too safe on this thing. I had an earlier issue with paypal that has convinced me to only do financial stuff on a secure pc.

Thought of that, but all my friends went off to see the Celtics game and I had tons of homework to do so I had to stay home. I'm sooo screwed eh,?
