I knew you'd say something eventually that I'd agree with.


Yes because as we all know, all software is written by multimillionaires and doesn't take months or years to develop.

Well it certainly doesn't bother the makers of open source software to give their stuff away for free. I ain't paying over $50 for any software. Usually you can find a better open source alternative.

Damn Sean, I always suspected you were borderline communist, now I know there was no borderline for you, you're pretty much there!!


Funny I don't even describe myself as a Socialist or Communist I'm more of a left leaning Libertarian. I would support a national health care system if it worked and was decent. My political self-description: I don't give a shit what you do just leave me and others alone and smoke up! Plus I believe software is over priced and you should pirate it.

And sean, how have you gotten that far into debt already? Aren't you eighteen?


Yes but I bought a Macbook, I have six months to pay it off no interest, my parents said it would be a good way to get some credit, and I already had $650 in my bank at the time. I have to work the rest off.

But the trip was really miserable no one slept the night before. It was my Dads fault he was really drunk and want to wrestle and stuff and was really loud and he showed me a video on youtube of my cousin rolling up a joint. And we couldn't get credit at the Apple Store so we went to Best Buy and got credit there and I have my Macbook.

I'm going to have to get used to some stuff like no right-click, the keyboard is a little bit different but that is really it.

I have like 60 pictures I took mind if I post them?


Just go into the Keyboard and Mouse pane in System Preferences and enter what you want the right side of the mighty mouse to do. By default, the left and right side of the mighty mouse are set to primary click, due to the Mac historically being a one button mouse system. The mighty mouse will do whatever you want it to. You just have to set it up. Pretty much any mouse will work automatically on OS X. I've used a 5 button Microsoft mouse for years without any problems...

Yes I got this fixed.

Well until I go to the Apple Store (don't know about tomorrow we are supposed to have heavy snow) I'm stuck using this Dell Inspiron 1000 (I swear it weighs a ton.)


Haha. An Inspiron 1000? Damn man, that must be old. The last Inspiron I had was an 8100 from 2000. Maybe their model numbers went backwards, but that thing must be pretty old. It probably weighs between 5 and 7 lbs, which is a ton by todays standards. Of course, if you want a cheap laptop, they still usually weigh about 5 lbs. The lighter you go, the more expensive they get.


Yeah my brother got it when he went to college in 2004 and gave it to me when I started college this year and I just put on a wireless card and I don't want to buy a new battery so I plug it into the wall.
I want the Macbook $1,299 version with:
* 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1GB memory
* 160GB hard drive1
* Double-layer SuperDrive
* I'm getting a Mighty Mouse
* A hard shell (I've heard things about the Speck one scratching up the glossy top on the Macbook)
Possibly a new bag that will hold alot stuff and protect it. I have a leather bag my Uncle (a business man) just gave me but I don't know if it will protect my stuff and I don't think it is good to carry around a leather bag. I seen a good $100 one that would have everything I need and it can function as a backpack and a messenger bag. I'm hoping to keep it below $1500.
The bag I want
I get a $100 student discount and I have $800 right now and I'm going to put the rest on a credit card and I'll get 90 days same as cash. I hope I just don't get laid off.
Besides the Macbook has excellent reviews, I've heard great things about Leopard, I really don't want to buy anything with Vista on it or pay to downgrade to XP, and I've always wanted a Mac.
Yeah I'm in sociology class right now.
