Is it worth buying a used laptop computer if one does not have too much money?

Absolutely. Used laptops can be a great way to save money and still get the computer power and, with any luck, computer software that you need for daily tasks. You will likely want to purchase a newer model and have this model inspected and perhaps wiped clean at a computer shop. This way you will have a clean and fresh start with the computer.

Boolean searches and math symbol searches are identical?

They are identical because they both have NOT and AND, but OR opposes it (according to my class' computer books). In math symbol searches + means you want it in your search and - means the opposite. + and + may result in an AND. Also it doesn't require to say AND in Boolean. OR is something that does not really occur in the math symbol searches.

What should a 15 year old do if his dad is trying to make him sell his own computer that he bought because he's on too much?

I'm 55 years old, have 2 boys and 2 girls (only 1 girl, 13, at home now) and have built them all computers.

I have, at times, driven myself half crazy and driven wedges between myself and my kids over the time they spent on their computers compared to the time they spent outside doing stuff (with me).

I missed their company like crazy and felt a bit miffed at being so readily replaced in their lives by a beige box.

This'll bore you but when I was young TV was new and most of our free time was spent outside either playing or getting into mischief. Being inside was boring. Outside doing stuff was normal.

When my four kids were still all at home I figured "if I can't beat them I'll join them".........I built myself a P4 2.8, put all our pc's on a home network and got them to teach me how to play Unreal Tournament and Half Life.

They slaughtered me on Unreal but I won respect by completing Half Life on my own (it was bloody hard!).

The result was that my kids "humored" me by increasing the time they spent doing outside stuff.

I now talk to the three at uni on Messenger more than face to face and the daughter at home has made her school tennis team.

I guess the guts of it is talk to your Dad and be prepared to listen and compromise.

My bet is that he loves you and misses your company.

What would you need to check for in the computer to maintain the standard monitor and to add an additional medical grade high resolution monitor?

You will either need a "dual-head" video card, or two video cards. Check that the medical monitor conforms to a PC standard - it may not. If it has a HD-15 or DVI video connector, then it should be standard - and easy to find a card that will work with it. If it has 3,4, or 5 BNC cables for video it will be much harder. In that case you need to look for a workstation graphics card - and probably something that is obsolete now. (Cheer up - that means it's cheaper!)

To use the full capabilities of this "high resolution" monitor, you may need to use a workstation graphics card even if the monitor has a standard connector. Check the refresh rate and resolution, and then compare with high-end consumer cards, and with workstation cards.

Some cards will support a very high refresh rate, but only at low resolution.

By "workstation card" I mean something like an nVidia Quadro or 3DLabs Wildcat or ATI FireGL. Note that these can cost upwards of $3000.
