Sam bought the Xbox on the day it launched (November 15, 2001) along with [[Wikipedia:Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]], Sam was having fun with his friends on Halo, while Sam thought the Xbox was a good console, he thought it wasn't going to be as good as The PlayStation 2, but kept playing anyway.

Sam, Mike, Mary, Anna, Eric, Kimberly, and Scotty were going out to a Nu Metal concert and they were amazed. Sam later realized that he wasn't going to need an adult to drive for him forever, so he wanted to go to Driver's Ed, and by July of 2002, Sam started to drive, and by the next school year (his junior year of High School), Sam was driving himself to school, but he started to drive everyone to school (by everyone, that meant, David, Hazel, Zira, Eva, and Mark to Elementary School, Scotty to Middle School, and Mike, Mary, Anna, Eric, and Kimberly to High School). Sam had a great junior year, in 2003, Microsoft was looking into competing with Apple's Zarvox line of robotics, so Microsoft decided to get their robotics division and speech divisions together (which had involved Sam, Mike, and Mary), Microsoft wanted to bring the voices of Windows 2000 and XP in order to also be the models of the robots. Microsoft cloned them and robotized most of the clones, but they realized that Windows-run robots that look just like humans would cost more money than Apple's Zarvox robots (which the lastest Zarvox at the time, the Zarvox G4 cost $899 in 2003 at launch when adjusted for inflation would be $1,252.71, whereas Microsoft's upcoming Microsoft People project (Codenamed: Platinum) was estimated to cost $1,500 in 2004 when adjusted for inflation, would cost $2,035.95, so it was clear that Microsoft scrapped those bots after the cost estimation, Microsoft had half of each of the people of the Platinum project go to work other things, the Robotics team was temporarily closed and half the team members worked on the Xbox Live servers while half of the Speech Recognition team were working on the Mulan Engine used for Microsoft Longhorn, and by senior year, Sam was already feeling like a graduate, and by his graduation of High School in 2004, Sam decided to wisely invest his Microsoft money into a new house. Sam moved in and became the owner of a new home.
