I am looking for a job that will help me get experience. I am a junior in high school currently, taking the advanced physics class and advanced math class. Anyone know of possibilities that I could get?"

Answer
Unless you're willing to relocate, it would help to know your location to help you find a job near you.

Otherwise you might consider starting your own business. Doing so will show that you are a self starter and more motivated and creative than someone who seeks someone else to employ them. I would suggest since you are interested in robotics that you put together a 3D printer from a kit and then you can print parts to make more 3D printers which you could sell for profit.
You could recruit some of your peers to form a business venture similar to how Apple started, paying them in shares of the company rather than in cash.

You could also put together a mini CNC mill from parts from old printers and scanners.
You could use it to make intricate carvings in plaster of paris blanks, then have someone make ceramic greenware from the molds you make, fire them, and sell them. Develop a way to automate this process.

Working for someone else, you will make someone else very rich. Working for yourself, you will make yourself very rich.

Learning through trial and error is itself an important lesson, because it teaches you how to figure out something which no one can teach you. If you only ever learn from someone showing you how to do it, then you will hit a barrier which you won't pass until you figure out how to figure stuff out.
It's better to learn this learning how to learn lesson on something that is not so dangerous. I suggested 3D printers, ceramics, etc. because those are easy to work with and relatively inexpensive. It will not do to learn the hard way when it involves expensive materials that are much more difficult to work with.

Metal has a grain just as wood has a grain. You might never need to know that unless you will be milling some very precise metal parts.

Of course you might not make a profit your first 3 years or so, but you will definitely get plenty of experience, and you certainly can put your experience in you own business down as experience on your resume.

Other than the above, you might do a search for "robotics intern" as I found a listing of many opportunities here: http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-robotics+intern

Can this computer run Windows Vista Business?

Lai Yu Zen

Processor speed: 2.4GHz
RAM: 735MB

Can this computer run Vista Business smoothly? And can it run smoothly when playing games like Imperial Glory?

Answer
Would help a lot if you mentioned the computer brand and model number.

My opinion: Don't waste your money upgrading your computer to Vista.

Imperial Glory does not run with Vista.

Do not waste your money changing to Vista Business. It will run noticably slower and the money you will spend to upgrade is not far from the cost of a new computer.

For Vista 2 GB RAM is best.
Your graphics adapter is no longer supported.

$200 Vista Business
$80-$170 2GB RAM
$70 Video Card
=============
$350-$440 If it can even be upgraded to Vista.

You can buy a new computer with without monitor and speakers for under $500 with:
Dual type processor
2 GB RAM

250+GB Hard Drive
CD/DVD Dual Layer Burner

==============================
My opinion for a new computer processor to run Vista:
Non gaming: Rendering Time of 1:59 or less
Gaming: Rendering Time of 1:33 or less (1.20 or less preferred)
Refer to:
http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.html
===============================
My opinion for a new video card:
Latest games: FRAPS (frames per second) of 50 or higher
Examples: 8800GTS; 8600GTS
Moderate games: FRAPS of 30 or more.
No games a FRAPS of 18 or more
