i feel like the op is running us through circles...

go to an apple store and ask a rep these questions. he'll show you everything you need to know, give you information on the computers that would be perfect for everything you do, and tell you all about the rebates and what you can do with them.

most of the reps that work there are probably slightly a tad less loserish than you're describing to us (for reasons i do not know), and will probably let you know about their favorite porn site they like to visit on their mac.

its a win-win-win for us, you, and them.

At Best Buy, they have an area where Apple people help the customers. I wanted to take a closer look at the macbook but I didn't because I hate having people over my shoulder. I wonder what he would say if I told him I'm considering a Mac cause I ruined my other PC's from porn sites. I wonder if he has heard that story before.
 
That is not what I meant. Anyways, if you're in your early 20's, consider dropping the "LOL"s, makes me picture you as a 15 year old girl texting, hence my mistake. ;)
 
why would you want to let people know that?

your not going to get a virus. its pretty much proven.

It might be kind of funny. In my first day of class, we had to introduce ourselves and I told everyone that my favorite show is "The Golden Girls." The room erupted in laughter and I heard some kid call me a douchebag in the distance.

The kid calling you a douchebag made it all worthwhile.

seriously, can you imagine this guy going into an apple store and saying,"is it safe to look at porn on a mac? If so, would you mind jotting down your top 10 favorite sites for me?" c'mmon this guy can not even talk to a girl, u think he's gonna do that. and what if the sales person at apple is a girl. he'd have a complete meltdown..

Not to sound like a d*ck, but there may be a reason you aren't getting attention from the opposite sex... :rolleyes:

At least try to come across as someone girls could be comfortable around. And as for talking to them: it isn't all that different from talking to a guy. Girls only tend to become "difficult" once you enter into that "relationship" thing. lol.

haha agreed :p
 
I will have to admit that this thread has to be one of the most interesting. Where else could you find "porn" and "Golden Girls" written on the same page?

Yeah very interesting, and now I just wonder which regular user is morgothaod's alter ego. :)
 
I'm not another member on here. I'm just a unique and interesting person with confidence issues and a porn addiction. I called Best Buy to see if they do the rebates that Apple.com has and they said I can only get a student discount. What kind of crap is that? On a positive note, I've been able to do my computer assignments with no problems.

try another BB or ask to speak to the computer manager. sometimes the floor associates don't have all the facts. if they still say it, show them the apple website that says you get the free stuff and ask them what incentive you would have to buy from them instead of Apple if they are not going to follow the whole promotion.
 
Can I buy apple care through Best Buy? Should I buy it or is it probably a waste of money?
 
any selfrespecting pron afficionado cannot be ret@rded when it comes to matters of technology and the interwebs. if you cannot make the technological transition, it is back to the magazines and VHS tapes for you...lol:D:D

it has been a real blast answering your questions, and you've been a real sport about a little ribbing we've done.

However, I think at this point, it would be beneficial for you to go to BB and look at the machines yourself. and all these other questions you have about rebates, and apple care can all be answered by them.


gotta be honest, you are not going to decide to spend $1-$2K on a machine by talking to us and looking at the online store. go in, and take your time and play with them. tell the salesman that you want to look and you will let him know if you have a question.

I promise you, after you play with one for a 1/2 hour, you'll know exactly why we are all mac users.
 
A guy in my class has really poor eyesight (enough for him to require a seeing eye dog and use some sort of binocular device) uses a Macbook Pro. It's amazing watching him use it. He seems to know where all of the keys are and he views documents with an extreme zoom in. I wonder if the Macbook's at bestbuy are connected to the internet. If they are I want to try out Quake Live :D.
 
QuakeLive? As in Quakelive.com?

Trust me, my 13" Aluminum MacBook 2.4ghz plays the thing at the HIGHEST settings like a Quicktime movie, I don't even need to turn on my chill pad while playing!

Average 60fps+
 
I was on Firefox. I just switched to IE because it is letting me play streaming video a little bit better (with Firefox I just see a picture and hear audio and with IE the picture moves a little bit lol- I say picture because its choppy).

The PC that I really screwed up has Windows XP. This PC which is sorta screwed up is running Windows ME.



Out of curiosity, what Macbook Pro has that?

Like I said earlier, it's the ones 2,000 and up.
