I hate scammers!!!

I was planning on going to the Apple release party for Tiger tonight and buying a nice new Powerbook (one of those "ultimates"). I checked to make sure the check from selling my PC was good to go only to find out that it had bounced and the buyer had unregistered from eBay. *Extremely angry* I was looking foward to this for weeks!!

Anyways, as I am assuming I will have to take a price cut on the PC (that is if it ever is sold), I won't be able to get the Powerbook I wanted, which was a 15" 1.67 ghz, 80 GB HD, 128 VRAM. Now I think I might just get the 12" and a Cinema display (20") or maybe just an iBook. I know the 12 + monitor route will a be about the same price, but I do like the nice price cuts and a big screen. How does 64 mb of vram do on light video editing on a 20"?

And will a 12" iBook be ridiculously slow? I'm thinking about just getting a 12" iBook to tide me over and save up for the next rev of powerbooks for when I got to college next year.

GRRR, this PC has been a huge pain in the neck since I got it. And this person was NOT a Nigerian scammer (the check came from the US, at least).

Yeah, I wasn't going to ship the PC until I made sure the check hadn't bounced (good thing I did). It makes me so mad; I have been waiting over a month for this check for the PC. I have been looking foward to this day, especially after I had agonized over what computer to get. I just want to get rid of this PC, don't really care about the price.

I think a 12" SD PB and a Cinema would be nice until August of next year (when I go to college). If I still like it, I'll bring it with me. If a G5's out, I might sell the 12". It all depends on how much the PC sells for and IF it sells. I have about $700 saved up right now.

I'm still going to go the Apple release. I think I'm gonna send my iPod in for a replacement, been having a ton of problems. And who knows, maybe I'll win a PB. Not with my luck, though.
