yes how did we ever get around before cars?![]()
Why not? Sounded like the OP doesn't really need the car that much, and this is the best time of year to sell a something like a bronco up north. Don't make the mistake of judging someone else's choices; tends to make one look immature and foolish.
You have ditched your car for a laptop.....
I hope you don't ditch the wife for a Mac Pro....![]()
wait wait all of you are laughing because he selling his car for a laptop..well obviously that's not a wise decision but i'm sure he has a reason but...
i can't think of anyone on the whole planet who actually "NEED" a max out 17'' Macbook Pro with Sandy Bridge unless he is god.
it ran fine but was highly inefficient - 13 mpg (ford bronco).
i just decided i'd rather have a new computer than a car. it was just a good time to sell it now rather than later because there happen to be a lot of people in the small towns surrounding memphis who start looking for a 'hunting vehicle' about this time of year.
i still have my bicycle though so i should be fine, although i bet i'm gonna hate it when it gets colder...
Hmmm. Maybe that makes sense. Inasmuch as the Eternal and Uncreated have experienced everything ahead of time, existing in all of time at the same time being the nature of the existence of the Great I AM, I suppose that He or They would know if it was something to have.Originally Posted by animatedude said:...who actually "NEED" a max out 17'' Macbook Pro with Sandy Bridge unless he is god.
i don't see why not. it's better than having another 'should i buy now or wait' thread isn't it?Is this thread even supposed to be here in the MBP section in the first place?
for the record, i tried that already. i have two jobs (bartending and catering) and at the end of each month after all my bills are paid (rent, utilities, phone, and internet) i would typically only have around $200 left at most. then after food, gas and other miscellaneous things there wasn't ever much left of that savings. i live in a small 2 bedroom apartment with a roommate.you should've kept the car, and worked a little harder? you still have three months..
i do because i don't know when the next time i'll be able to afford a new computer will be. like i said, i'm using a powermac g5 right now that i actually bought with student loan money. it got me through school and that was great, but now i need a more powerful machine to get my career as a digital artist moving. i do animation, video, sound design, and a lot of other stuff plus a little gaming on the side and i need a capable machine that will last at least 5 or 6 years like my g5 did.i can't think of anyone on the whole planet who actually "NEED" a max out 17'' Macbook Pro with Sandy Bridge unless he is god.
I can. Everyone I know that does high end resource intense design does. I'm sure since this is a big priority, the OP does. Let's not forget Apple knows it's market well, or they wouldn't offer one.i can't think of anyone on the whole planet who actually "NEED" a max out 17'' Macbook Pro with Sandy Bridge unless he is god.

Hey guys, I just sold my kidney for a mac pro. What do you guys think? Smart move?
You realize that sandy bridge won't be released by intel until 2011 and even then apple will have to update its computer line and who knows when they will be. My point is you'll be without a car for anywhere between 2 to 6 months
