Done. The only reason I did it is because I didn't want my 2.2 to lose too much value before montevina. I'm going to sell this one again right before June.
Now I can see why there are so many recycled computers in the world. Find another hobby dude, you don't need to change computers every 6 months, that's really extreme.
still using my core duo 2.0Ghz MBP 15". First model released, it's over 2 yrs old now... still cranks too.
Will probably upgrade later this year. would be nice if there was a high-res 15" display coming...

you guys are treating your MBPs as if they were cellphones..
oh well, if you're just surfing the net anyway..
then it won't be hard and tedious to transfer any files at all every six months

I agreeAPPLE is definitely happy to have you as one of its customers!
I never claimed it was a smart move!!! lol.. just wanted to see if I am alone in this move.
Well if I'm making money in the process can you blame me?
No, not at all especially if upgrading is not going to cost you anything but how can you be making money on outdated hardware?
just crazy
i keep my computers for a looong time
i thought it was too soon to go from 1ghz g4 to cd 2 ghz at the time

I agree with not changing computers every 6 months. This is a perfect example of our society today, everything is disposable. It's no wonder there is so much credit card debt and mortgage defaulting in the US.
I keep most of my computers for 4-5 years and make do, not because I can't afford to replace them every 6 months, but because the money used to buy them doesn't grow on trees!

I tend to keep my laptops til they die as well as you can see from my signature...
wish i can do what you're doing..
somehow i feel a bond with the things i buy..
that's why it's hard for me to upgrade..
because i don't sell the last one
That doesn't make sense either.
Penryn is a Core 2 Duo.
Correct terminology would be Merom to Penryn.
at the end of the day..
the one with the shiniest and brightest.. also has the highest credit card bills
