Knife? What are you, some kind of incompetent? Just steal a cinder block from a local construction zone. Now those make mighty fine blunt-force trauma.

You didn't hear this from me. :rolleyes:

How about a pillowcase stuffed w/ bars of soap? Steal them from different acquaintances'/ "friends'" homes. Hah, steal it from your "friend's" house-- use his own household goods against him! :D

I guess it doesn't help that I'm a Canadian citizen, not a US one, huh?

OR, if you do murder him for the iBook, be sure to close it first. Getting blood off a keyboard is hard!

..Not that I'd know.

LOL, so true. Especially when it runs into the usb ports :rolleyes:
 
BTW, don't use knives! You always end up staining either your clothes or leaving some on the knife, making you easy to track.

I'd suggest a bazooka. Leaves no evidence. :D
 
Heh. I make around 850 a month after taxes, which is 6.50 an hour. Work for 6.50 an hour, 8 hrs/day 5 days a week, 40 hour work weeks, and it take you 3 checks to get the 12" and max out the ram. :)

Soap is soft, silly. Like that "SoftSoap" stuff. Now, a pillowcase stuffed with old rusty iron... :rolleyes:
 
If his folks have homeowners insurance, you could steal his and let the insurance buy him a new one. But fraud is wrong. So, SO wrong. ;)
 
How do you get by living on your own at such a young age? Do you have a job? Transportation? Are your parents helping you out with some $$$?

I'm sorry to be so nosy, but I give you all the respect in the world...

It's very hard ...

I have just arrived in Rochester, NY so I am still finding a job and apartment ... I have very great friends, I don't know what I'd do without them.

My parents know I'm here, but that's the extent of their involvement.
 
Get one of the G3 iBooks with a bum logic board and swap it when he ain't lookin. When his dies be like "I dunno man, mine's still workin."

God that's a low wage, I love being an aussie. In a 50 hour week (big week but not unheard of) I cleared over $700AUD as a waiter, and remember, we don't tip.

Good luck. Glad to hear someone else is a writer, too. If you have a Paypal account or something maybe I can donate some money toward an iBook. I'm still in college (graduating this winter if the department head un****s himself) so I'm poor, but everyone deserves an iBook.

I took my friend to the Apple Store to show him how cool they are, and his parents just bought him one! And now he's rubbing it in my face despite the fact that I want one so much more (I don't even own a computer right now).

So the question I pose to you is, should I murder him and take it?

Well, you can always shave an eyebrow when he gets drunk and passes out, dye his hair pink, give him a dark tan on half half his body (stripes are good also), give him a prepaid subscription (in his name) to a raunchy gay magazine and have it miss-delived to the house with the most attractive babe on the block, etc.

All this should start a massive prank war that will make you forget all about not having an iBook (of course it'll probably end with one of you being superglued nude to a flagpole). :p

Are you over 18? If so, apply for Apple credit and pay it off over a couple years. You won't even notice the $20 a month.

I too strongly encourage to NOT ever go through Apple credit, for any reason, ever.

They advertise payments as only being $20/month. But that's just the "minimum" payment. By just paying the minimum, it will not pay off the total loan in time, at which point you get nailed by a huge fee.

And that's all besides the 20%+ interest rate.
 
i also live in rochester. however i live with my parents, i just bought a used ibook and saved some money that way. my parents didn't pay anything.
