$750 to go towards a mac book pro


I was in the same predicament back in September. And I ended up getting an iMac.

Its less money and is more powerful than the MacBook Pro.

We have computers in class so I actually didn't need a laptop to bring to school. Your situation might be different though. Just something to think about.

[Dylflon]

I do, but you also need to get Live, which I do in fact have a second one of, but im sure as hell not giving that away. And Fox asked for it first, unless his makeshift repairs mic is holding out fine?

[Fox 6]

Since when are you so willing to sell?

Its holding up alright.

Still need to get Left 4 Dead, going to try to get to Rogers to day and get it. Im sure as hell not going anywhere near the mall.

[Bond]

I caved. Ordered Left 4 Dead on Amazon.

[BreakABone]

Peer pressure will do that to you.

But it only has 4 player co-op... I believe 6 of us now have the game. :ohreilly:

From mom:
Dressy Blue Shirt
Edibles (Sour Wine Gums, 16 liquor-chocolates, chocolate cherries, beef jerky, Purdy's chocolates)

From brother:
Die Another Day 007 - Blu-ray (Great hi-def movie and worth owning next to Casino Royale)

Puppy calender
Feroce by Tonino Lamborghini (cologne)
Soooooooooocks
Chocolate-covered sunflower seeds
Stick-on lights
monies

From aunt:
surprise monies!

I haven't even seen my dad or girlfriend's side OR my other grandma, so it's pretty much half the christmas listed. (Stupid snow.) Birthday impending soon, as well!

:Puke:

Did you just say Die Another Day is a great piece to have next to Casino Royale?

:Puke:

Yes? It was the best tech-y movie compared to Casino Royale which was the most gritty.

Dyne, do you find the tea produced by tea brewers to be significantly better than tea bags?

[Fox 6]

I'm posting from my new iMac. 2GB memory 320 GB hard drive :)

[Dyne]

Dyne, do you find the tea produced by tea brewers to be significantly better than tea bags?

Hmm, there isn't a huge difference, but it's definitely there. Tea bags are definitely just for convenience. Metal-based infusers definitely have a cleaner taste. It works best for chai and darker teas. With lighter teas like green and white tea, it doesn't matter as much, I think.

[flamb]
