I predict that with manic ferret energy, he could blow his fortune in two weeks at the quarter slots (or whatever their British equivalent is...)
I'm also very handy with a screwdriver. My dad plays with computers the way some guys play with cars, and I spent a lot of my childhood taking apart and putting back together and sweet talking into working my then eleven year old computer. I was literally cleaning rust off the wires of that thing every few months. I couldn't do anything with it really, except play Tetris and mess around, because it was still on dos, so I got a shiny new laptop when I started high school instead of a car (ah, I show my privileged existence). and that's the one that dropped. The screen cracked, and I did a lot of damage to the possessor, (which I got working again) but unfortunately, there's some sort of black fluid behind LCD screens, and it started leaking into the wiring, which was when I finally had to gwet rid of it.
