getting my blackbook 2mrw!

[APPLEFAN8]

I can't wait until tommorow I'm going to delaware with my dad to get my blackmacbook tax free with a free printer but I want to get photoshop but I don't think they'll carry it but i'll post pics of it when I get home! Do you guys enjoy your macbooks?

[psycoswimmer]

I read the thread at getting my blackjack tomorrow. :D

Apple should carry Photoshop in store. Enjoy your new Mac! Is it your first?

[psychofreak]

I love my Macbook, but I recommend buying a good cloth to keep the screen clean...

[Osarkon]

Yes I enjoy using my macbook. It makes life simpler.

[Wayfarer]

Looking forward to those fresh new pics.

The prospect of getting a new mac while driving all the way to Delaware must make the trip seem INSANELY funtastic! :eek: ;)

Show Zeh Pictures!!

Actually I've seen more pictures of macbooks than the # of hairs I have. It's still cool though ;)!

Ahh its only 45mins away taking 295 plus I save over 100 in tax also(tax free). Also psycoswimmer this is my first mac and I cna't wait but hopefully they'll have photoshop in the apple store I love it. I'll get it for 1400 with my dads goverment discount but if they have the 2GB model of ram in stock I'll get it . If not I'll just buy some from the internet.

[aethelbert]

Just buy it online. It's $175 extra in the store but you could order some online, overnight it and have it Tuesday for under $100. It's really easy to install, too.

Ok, thanks i'll look into it!

[filmgirl]

Congratulations! I've officially had my BlackBook for a week and I LOVE it. I'm running Photoshop CS3 as I type this - so, so nice.

Congrats, I had one and flipped it for a 17"MBP. You will like it a lot, just keep wiping the fingerprints. It was the only thing that bugged me about mine.

[APPLEFAN8]

How much is photoshop CS anyway? Just an estimated price.

[Cybergypsy]

yea!!!!!!

[D1G1T4L]

Been bouncing back and forth on buy now or wait for Leopard. I also had the idea of picking up a MBP but it was just overkill for what I needed.

Goodluck and enjoy!

[vicious7]

Do you seriously have to start a new thread every time you mention picking up this MB? :rolleyes:

Anyway, I hope you get it tomorrow and that it works out fine. And for the record, you don't HAVE to get additional RAM if you don't need it. You can always get it later when, in all likelihood, it will be cheaper; afterall, bragging rights just for the sake of it is just a big waste of money (for you and/or for your parents).

[mat4020]

Ps cs3 retails for 650

[triddent222]

Seriously...*rolls eyes* and the whole story about the tax free and his ps3 is getting annoying already

Anyways, congrats on your MacBook, I am really happy for you finally getting it. can't wait any longer ... /sarcasm Do post pics...

[APPLEFAN8]

Great, since we drove 600 miles in pa over the weekend to go to 2 drag races my dad doesn't feel like driving 2 delaware. Maybe today he'll change his mind and see how he's feeling. We'll have to see if I can get it today or wait until Wednesday!:mad:

[Osarkon]

I'm not the only one that noticed then.

Boo freakin' hoo...

[jvencius]

No, you're not the only one. I've seen the same situation on other forums I'm on (medicine- and medical student-focused ones, mostly)--people insist on using IM/text-messaging shorthand on a professional forum and then wonder why other members don't take them seriously.

To Osarkon: the irony of discussing spelling with someone from Wales is rather amusing--that's the only place I can think of in the world where the printed word "Gryffffn" (note the four "f"s in a row) could be pronounced as "Bob".:p

[APPLEFAN8]

Yea, I guess I am bad at spelling but I do good in ENglish class my grade was a 96 for the semester. I just don't put time into this only school work.

[sblasl]

Just great, the SAGA continues...:rolleyes:

which model did you get? the 15" ?? are you sure ? cause I'm planning to buy one (I'm living in Philly and I want to get it from Christiana Mall in Delaware), but they don't have any of 15 inch models in stock for like 13 days :confused: and I keep checking every day :(

[XheartcoreboyX]

15''? a Macbook? noway...
it just comes in 1 size(13''),2 colours(black and white),
Macbook PRO> comes in 2 sizes(15'' and 17'').

[APPLEFAN8]

No, i'm still getting the 13 inch black macbook. I had no idea they would have a 15 inch not in stock. I tried to ask my parents if I could get the pro for 1800(goverment discount). They said no, when I go to college they'll get me one they said. Yeah I'm getting mine from the Christiana Mall since its the only place in Delaware were you can get it. Tommorow, i'm getting mine with my dad. I'll post pics of it.

[APPLEFAN8]

Its okay, I was thinking 15 inch? I'm getting the black one 2mrw nd when I get home I will post pics.

[craigo424x]

Congrats! I went to DE to get mine a month ago too. I'm from PA...DE FTW haha.

[APPLEFAN8]

Yea, I called a few mins ago to see if they had mine in stock and they said they had plenty! So when I'm there i'm gonna get a cover, ipod dock and a free printer! Tommorow sounds like a good day!

[djkny]

Getting my ultra thin MBP 13" in a couple of months. Did I tell you that it boots off a 30GB flash drive?

[Iced Angel]

Yea, I called a few mins ago to see if they had mine in stock and they said they had plenty! So when I'm there i'm gonna get a cover, ipod dock and a free printer! Tommorow sounds like a good day!

would you please check if they have any MBP 15" in stock? I am tired of keep checking everyday :(

[chilipie]

I do good in ENglish class
Haha! :D Surely someone else must have noticed that?

[Osarkon]

Haha! :D Surely someone else must have noticed that?

Ssssh. The OP is excited, leave him/her alone. :p

You call when the voice comes up with the options like when you press numbers press 5 and it will give u an employee from that store then they can tell you. Heres the number (302) 292-3201 just before you dial the area code put a 1 in front of 302 it doesn't work if you don't do it! Just call it takes like 3 mins.

[APPLEFAN8]

Just got back fro the bank! I had to cash my 1300 dollars in checks for my macbook. I'm giving the money to my parents they're paying the rest of the money I'm short of(only like 200). I can't wait until tommorow walking out with a nice expensive box!

I lurked around here for months...but after reading all your threads and your enthusiasm, I HAD to register just so I could say congrats. :D

I've been following your posts for some time now, it's clear that you're incredibly excited. lol

Anyways, DUDE, give this thread a rest, the whole forum knows you're extremely excited about your MacBook, but In My Opinion, this kind of thread are just littering the boards. You can post your pictures when you get your MacBook, you don't need to build up the hype for so long...We've known about you purchasing a BlackBook for weeks!

Congratulations (for the 9.9 x 10^56th time)

This is a forum to help people, and to give advise to people, NOT A social networking website. You don't have to take what I say personal, it isn't, even though you anger me ad-infinitum.

How's my comment bringing your excitement down? Do you need every living being on earth to know about your future purchase of an Apple notebook?

And, for the record, I am NOT worried about you, I am worried about the quality of these boards.

[razyorv]

I remember how excited I was when I got my MB.

Ah... yes the ultimate experience for the materialist. :rolleyes:

[Saikou]

Haha I think its safe to say you might be excited? I can't really tell... ;)

Anyway, congratulations on your purchase. I just ordered my MB Black yesterday and overnighted it... But for some stupid reason its coming tomorrow? Oh well, I'm too excited to get angry. I guess to Apple there isn't any difference between overnight shipping and 2 day shipping... (besides the excess $9 they make, $18 2 day - $27 overnight)

[vicious7]

Ah... yes the ultimate experience for the materialist. :rolleyes:

I'm a happy materialist...lol. I remember when I first got my MBP - I was pretty excited. But 99% of my posts or threads I started were not an announcement of such. I can understand where triddent is coming from.

Keep posting about your excitement APPLEFAN, but please keep it in ONE thread (this thread) and not in every single thread you post on. Some people are beginning to groan every time they see your username because they expect its another announcement about your MB/MBP/tax breaks/your father's gov't position etc.

So, when you do get your MB tomorrow, let us know HERE what you think and how it's goin' for you and even post pics and such. But please, keep it here.

Minus the $650 for Photoshop of course. I hope you get a nice expensive box with something in it though.

Hey Applefan, seriously good luck with you and your drive with your State Police father to Delaware where you will buy your black macbook that is not 15" but 13" and Photoshop CS providing it is for sale in the store where you will walk out with the expensive box hopefully housing an expensive laptop where you will drive all the way home with your State Police dad and load that puppy up and come back and post pictures that we all really want to see and then start another thread because this one may be down on the bottom of the forums and a new thread is something that will get way more attention and it is possible there are some members that do not know of your tax free (government discount from your State Police father) increased ram photoshop cs running with the ipod dock and some other freebie machine.

And do not worry about people like...well me and vicious7. Vicious7 is made because I made him groan in another thread talking about balls (not those balls kiddo) and I'm just mad because I want a shinny new computer on a government discount. You do what you want, you have a right to be excited after working 320 hours!

Tomorrow it is you say? What time, I'm going to come back and I hope to see pictures.

[Saikou]

320 hours for $1300 really isn't that much, it comes out to be around $4.06 an hour. But this is considering that you spent some money on other things or tax, etc.


This was probably a pointless post, but then again there's really nothing to live up to in this thread. ;)

Oh yeah, I was searching through threads you started and I was wondering if you decided which method you are going to use to get your iTunes files from your PC to your new black macbook?

And also, have you resolved you wireless printing issue? If not, I could probably help you with both. Just wanna make sure you get the most out of your first Mac experience. Enjoy.

I'm going to transfer my files wirelessly over my network since I have a wireless router and an ethernet cable and all sorts of other methods. I'm not gonna do wireless printing becuase I figured since i'm getting a free printer I'm just keep that in my room and when I want to print I'll just go to my room and hook in the printer and print. There are other ways too to transfer music but i'm gonna figure that out when I get back. I'm leaving in 10 mins so i'll be back to post PICS!

Very well. I'm glad it's straightened out. We will be here waiting!! Good luck. Are you going to get Applecare or any other accessories? Or are you just going to wait for your birthday to get the Applecare?

[APPLEFAN8]

I'm gonna get the ipod dock, the 15 dolar itunes gift for my new itunes account, the printer and the macbook of course! I'm waiting to get applecare for my b-day. By the time my b-day comes my temporary applecare thats comes with the macbook will only have like 40 days on it left! We'll i'm leaving now! Peace be back in an about 2 hours!

[sblasl]

"Off they go into the wild blue yonder"

APPLEFAN8, I would suggest that you transfer your files to your new MacBook via the ethernet cable. It will be much faster.

BTW, I was just messing with you(again) regarding reporting you to the authorities. But please keep it here so we know where to go to get the latest up to the minute status of you & your MacBook.

[Magick]

OMG!! I can't wait!!

Are you going to do a dance when you get it? I WOULD!! If you are please post it on youtube and don't forget to sing when dancing the "blackbook song"!!

[PCRanger]

Lol He's Gone.
Can't wait to see the pictures.
You should photoshop it with your new copy.

[Wayfarer]

BTW, If you're a college student and you want to buy Photoshop CS3... go to a college store. They usually have MASSIVE discounts on software.

He is 16 and a junior in high school. But when he does go to college, he is getting a MBP.

[sblasl]

The cable you have will work. It is a method I have used many times. Because my entire household is on the Mac platform we are able to use FireWire to accomplish this task as well.

We're excited for you, have fun with your Dad. Times like this are fewer & fewer as you grow older.

How do you like the glossy screen?

[APPLEFAN8]

its really nice! It makes my background stand out well! I love this computer!

[jessica.]

Thanks for the story jessica! I'm sure it will sell great at bookstores! I'm not being mean but do you have any macs? Jw thanks
Me too thanks. I hope the bookstores are in Delaware too where you can buy my book tax free with your dad's government discount because he is a State Police.
No I don't have any macs...none at all...not even the one you have. The one in a photo I once posted was photoshoped with Photoshop CS that was $650 at my Apple Store.

Marry me?? ;)Wait what?

Yes, please make it bigger. I'm an old man and my sight is not what it used to be.

Yes the glossy screen benefits include, but not limited to, making your desktop background look great. Forget any other functionality of such feature.

Thank God this is over, I was actually nervous most of the day but to recap for those who do not care to scroll...

Applefan has a dad who is a State Police Officer who gets a government discount on macs who went to a drag race in PA over the weekend I guess it was we weren't really told but he drove 600 miles with his son who is 16 who is a junior in high school who has anxiously been awaiting a blackbook but could not go the other day due to the 600 mile drive and his dad the state police was sleepy, not just any blackbook the one where he will get it in delaware and not pay any sales tax because that is how they roll in the great DE and then he gets this discount from his dad because his profession is something in government and thus the government discount now he was going to get a mbp but then his dad and mom said no f'in way kid you get the blackbook with the free hp printer the ipod dock maybe or maybe not and the $15.00 itunes gift card to go with his new itunes account in which he will open once he gets his blackbook and his $15.00 USD (not delaware dollars) Apple iTunes gift card where he will then come home and post pics but only if we say he should but will post them anyway without confirmation from the board but before that he has to make sure that we give confirmation of Apple's stock of photoshop cs where he will get that but then he would not because it is $650 and that is a lot of delaware dough you see but back to the fact that he gets a government discount because his dad is a state police and he has $1300 in checks that he had to cash and he had the cash in his hands but gave it to his parents where they will pick up the slack on the difference between the price of the blackbook minus the cost savings from the government discount because his dad is a state police and no tax because that is how delaware rolls you see and then the free ipod dock but that changed on page 2 i think, i was drinking and i do not recall but back to the free HP printer and and the $15.00 apple itunes gift card for his new itunes account all of this and his dad was going to leave with him at 9:30 am this morning, that is delaware time I believe and he was going to get it and be back in two hours with pics which he posted but were small so those of us who are generally ****ed with our vision may find it hard to see but the blackbook is sexy i mean it is not your normal blackbook it is the delaware tax free government discounted free ipod dock or not free hp printer and free $15.00 itunes gift card version of the apple blackbook where he will use it until he goes to college which may be far off because as you can clearly see there are some issues there with writing competency but do not worry he can distinguish between we'll and well which is nice but everything else looks like a bad text message like the ones i sent on my last birthday when the drinking really got under way in the meantime i believe if you go back to pages 3 and 4 there are also three marriage proposals out there for yours truly and applefan8 the caring soul that he seems to be really would like to know who i plan to choose but one of said proposals came late in the game so as of last night halfway thru a bottle of cab (that is cabernet for you youngin's) i was asked who i would choose between but i think one person is 14 and the other is definitely not 14 in case you were wondering but on pack 4 there is another proposal that i may have to consider as a booty call but i'll refrain from continuing because children are present and now back to applefan8 who has his government discounted blackbook that will have applecare soon enough something about a birthday rock out with the applecare on your 17th birthday nothing say lovin' on your 17th birthday better than a box with a warranty card and then of course in the middle applefan8 wanted to know if i had a mac which i probably do not thus the reason for my inconsistent jealousy and iswitched is the monkey feeder who has some vested interest in applefan8's purchase of the government discounted free hp printer and $15.00 apple itunes card blackbook and so in closing, in the event you all weren't really paying attention i hope my recap my inconsistent use of proper grammar, the lack of periods, and the large run on sentence that probably lost half of you really catches you up to speed.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up (I actually read all that :p). However, we are still waiting on larger pictures which may or may not be resized in Photoshop which APPLEFAN may or may not have purchased.

I too read your entire recap, and I gotta say that I haven't laughed that hard in a while. It seems as though marriage proposals on this thread are so yesterday so I won't bother going there, but I will tell you that you Jessica are clearly the only reason I am refreshing/reading this thread.

You have a huge fan in Canada!

Well, but I have some questions..

1. How did you get the govt. discount?
2. When are you getting your macbook?
3. Which macbook did you get?
4. Have you thought of getting photoshop? I think you may like it


I think thats it for now, but when you are going to step up to a macbook pro or another mac, please let us know. This time, at least 2 weeks in advance, multiple threads each day and a countdown timer.

Enjoy the macbook!

Hallelujah! This must be the most controversial, and critically acclaimed MacBook (black at that) EVER. And what do we get? Two Micro, Tiny, Nano-metric, hideously small pictures...one of the Macbook itself on a desk and the other one I can't remember because it was so uninteresting. Whats the big deal about taking pictures of your MacBook anyways? They all look the same...clearly the added value of your tax free macbook + free printer! + iPod dock + Photoshop (which you don't even know how much it costs, or probably how to use it, which is cool anyways, because nobody does but having it gives mad street creds) + AppleCare for your birthday makes a difference though.

oh boy, you're already a legend and you don't even know it. I propose we make one of his threads a sticky note (I vote for the one he asked where he could get "Thread Title 1.01").

@Jessica, you sound so much like my english teacher (whose name is, coincidentally, Jessica...xD). I know I will probably break your heart, but I can't marry you *makes dramatic pose* for my heart belongs to someone else *tears*. I hope you can forgive me.

Post a pic of the ipod it could be a 6th gen since you got it in Delaware tax free with your dad's government discount.

I couldn't get a free ipod i'm not a college student. Its 5th I got it a year ago. I have black video I got from like 2006 in april. It just a regular black ipod video! I like it and take it everywhere. I'm gonna change the format though with my macbook to mac

[iSwitchd]

jessica, how can you do a play by play replay without covering the trip to the bank when they swithed accounts to a new bank (forgot name of said bank and don't feel like going back) and they found $500 of his modeling money when he was a little kid and did modeling with toys.

and if he could get the ipod, he was going to be generous and give it to his little sister who has an old ipod.

I love my Black MacBook. Was very satisfied with my purchase. I am however upgrading to a 2.2 GHz MBP SR and I simply cannot wait for it to ship!

[triddent222]

Ouch


Oh, It was a compliment :). She's one of the smartest people I've met, and she's only 23 years old (i think)..unless you're way younger, in which case, it's a relief to know the newer generations has some hope after all (It could be argued though...just look at the OP... >.>)

Anyways, Just wanted to let everyone know Apple is rumored to be renaming the iPod...the new generation will be called the iPod Video! < yeah, thats right... Video! (notice exclamation mark). Of Course, further generations will be called Ipod Video!!, iPod Video!!!, iPod Video !V, and lastly, TEH APPLE iPOD VIDEO!one!.

Can't believe I actually read through all of this ... today must really be a slow day.

Oh, c'mon. Admit that you are a bit of a reality show junkie and this thread is very similar to Simple Life ;)

Anyone know if the iPod Dock that came with the 4th Generation 40GB iPod will work with APPLEFAN8's iPod. The dock does not have the S-Video out connection.

[RoadieJodie]

in case you were wondering but on pack 4 there is another proposal that i may have to consider as a booty call

May I ask who this would be? :D

I think everyone in the office was looking at me rather odd, trying to figure out what was so halrious about a wall of text.

Today I took out some ram from a powerbook and put more in and then i started it but it didnt turn on so i put the old ram in and turned it on but it didnt turn on so i took out the battery and plugged it in and turned it on but it didnt turn on so i put the new ram in and then my dad from delaware called to say he was going to buy me a Macbook Pro with his goverment discount but i already have one but its a core duo so anyways when i put the new ram in it still didnt work why does it not work i think the grad student killed it and not me because i have PS CS3 and Acrobat 8 and i got them for free with my dads who is from delaware government discount

Its time to go home :p

...Applefan has a dad who is a State Police Officer who gets a government discount on macs who went to a drag race in PA over the weekend I guess it was we weren't really told but he drove 600 miles with his son who is 16 who is a junior in high school who has anxiously been awaiting a blackbook but could not go the other day due to the 600 mile drive and his dad the state police was sleepy, not just any blackbook the one where he will get it in delaware and not pay any sales tax because that is how they roll in the great DE and then he gets this discount from his dad because his profession is something in government and thus the government discount now he was going to get a mbp but then his dad and mom said no f'in way kid ..

..itunes card blackbook and so in closing, in the event you all weren't really paying attention i hope my recap my inconsistent use of proper grammar, the lack of periods, and the large run on sentence that probably lost half of you really catches you up to speed.

What the frack Jessica!?!? How can you come up with this stuff?

Can I have the last 6 minutes of my life back?:D

(great write up, although the sentence ran for way too long... a little punctuation here and there might have helped!)




APPLEFAN: Please make this thread worthwhile by posting some highres pictures of your esteemed macbook pro

...and all of that will work great with the iPod dock that goes with his BLACK 5G iPod video! He probably got that with his dad's government discount!!!!! 'Specially 'cuz he didn't have to cash, like, $1300 worth of checks and give the money to his parents to buy it after driving 600 miles in a weekend to 2 drag races so that he can get Photoshop CS and run it on his Blackbook that he will use for two years until he goes to college and gets a MBP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then when he has his MBP that be bought in Delaware (tax free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) using his dad's government discount he'll finally be able to run the app of his dreams: Thread Title Writer 2.0 with the Exclamation Point Editor/Spelling and Grammar 1.1 plugins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Back to a grown adult writing--this is one of the funnier threads I've ever read online. Of course, NOTHING can compare to THIS (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18595) one since that thread is a legend that has lasted a bit longer than the OP wishes it had...:p

Sorry, my mistake! somewhere along the lines, I thought that since there was a huge discount involved, along with no taxes, I was expecting him to jump on an MBP (seemed like he could have gotten the MBP for like $800 or something outrageously like that).

Now did he really drive over 600miles to get to the great DE, just so that he can save on tax? Whoa- this guy's a bada$$!

No. You seriously didn't pay attention in class did you?
He drove 600 miles to pa to go to two drag races with his dad who is a state police officer who gets a government discount on apple products but the 600 mile drive really tired old state police officer daddy out so going to DE was not an option the other day he had to wait then he waited and at 9:30 am he and his dad who is a state police went to DE to buy a blackbook not a macbook pro because his parents said no f'in way kid and told him when he goes to college he can get one but then as you can see college is a far way off we have some emotional maturity that would need to take place as well as having the ability to write effectively two things in which i do not see much from him so he gets the blackbook with a government discount and further the savings by getting it tax free all this was done by driving to a state that is 45 minutes away from him i see you failed geography just like me but whatever right who cares and who needs it now next time i hope you find the time to pay attention.

Repost:

Anyone know if the iPod Dock that came with the 4th Generation 40GB iPod will work with APPLEFAN8's iPod. The dock does not have the S-Video out connection.

[APPLEFAN8]

I don't know of it will work but I have a 30GB video and the new dock that is out now will work with my ipod and I think yours too. You have a 40GB right? Thats all I can tell you sorry.

[vanmacguy]

Jessica, I'm from Canada too. I'll send you all the syrup and maple candies you want, heck, I'll even throw in some bacon if you'll dismiss the two prior proposals and the possible booty call one and just consider mine and mine alone.

I eagerly await you (sure to be comical) response.

Way to go APPLEFAN8, you introduced me to my future wife, we both got something with buttons to push.

It was three proposals I think and one booty call...is your's a booty call or a proposal because I am not marriage worthy...clearly!
And there is a lot more to push than buttons...but there are children present so I'll refrain.

Well it was originally a marriage proposal and I am marriage worthy. I have my own mac and I can spell. Heck I even have a printer an iPod dock, all kinds of cables and Photoshop! But sadly no 'special' discounts and certainly no long drive to DW.

But if a booty call more fits your schedule...?

Mmm buttons.

Get a room, Nerds.

Can't you relieve your pathetic internet romance crap and sexual innuendos through PMs and quit whoring APPLEFANs thread? :eek:

You can tell her all about your hard drive, or you're 3.5" Floppy...whichever is more accurate.

Nerds? I don't feel offended by that! That's actually a compliment. Jocks call me nerd, but I know Im going to an actual college and they're not.

Whoring APPLEFAN8's thread? ha, this thread never had a purpose nor an actual topic, are you jealous because you're not included on our romance crap?

Macs don't have 3.5" drives anymore, silly xD.

I know...it was just a joke. :D

Jeebus Christ! I thought this thread will die at page 2 or 4. And I fell asleep after reading the second sentence from Jessica's so-called essay.

Congrats again. Sweet black MB! :D
