Heh. I grew up near Auburn. I think this means we're supposed to growl and bristle at each other now or something.

(No, I didn't attend Auburn. When I was in school, Auburn didn't waste their money on frivolous non-football-related things like academic scholarships.)
 
that's a pity since auburn is a great academic school

...but on the national level, the football team is one of the best around thus the focus on football

georgetown is a great school, too and bill clinton went there, but georgetown is far more well know for its sports and the hoya's logo is one of the favorite logo's of california gang bangers as is the san jose sharks and oakland raider's logo

now wouldn't it be strange if one day street gangs wore apple logos? they did that thing with mercedes emblems so who knows who will be the next victim?
 
too much info

I live in Bergen County, N.J. (more specifically in Montvale) and my family and I have a house here that we plan to sell for $300000. Right now, we have an apartment in Maine along the coast, and we are trying to see if we can purchase another house in Sweden, Maine, for $140000. (Yes, it?s beside Denmark and London and Paris, by a coincidence.)

Right now, I am being educated at Pascack Hills in Montvale and I plan to take Math and Science courses at the University of Southern Maine, eventually, to teach there.

Exactly eyelikeart...is that a North Jersey thing or a Bergen County thing where you have to keep up with the joneses so much that now you carry that into posts? Who cares how much you are selling your house for?:confused:
 
re; real estate

i find it interesting since i live in silicon valley where the land was cheap, then got really expensive, then crashed again and realtors in northern california have no idea how much to sell houses for

rents are crazily varying to diffrent degrees where a small apartment could go for more than a house in the same city and neighborhood!?!

beside being a techie, i manage rental property

the whole industry is confused because of our confused IT industry which shook things up and shook things down...way down

what are rents like y'all in the rest of america...say for a 1 bedroom apt up to a 3 bedroom house? real estate prices?

ps- steve's little imac in cupertino greatly affected property value in that city and nearby areas...apple was used as a financial health barometer by some

There are just too many fun things to do in the technology arena! I could have stayed in school forever!

Hey Mrtrumbe, are you sure you went to school for this and designed a "RISK" chip.

Reduced Instruction Set... uhmmmmm.... Komputing?

Or do you mean it was a game that you were designing the little pieces for on the computer. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Hey... ;) just given you a hard time.

Take it easy,.... whooaaa!!! Stop it,... I... arrrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

...and so Quark was never heard from again, but sometimes I swear I can hear someone whispering "risk" in the wind....

In between there's this big chunk of urban dystopia that just needs to be scoured from the earth. I think you SD folks should do it. You're closer.

Hey, so maybe Palm Springs is far enough outside of town to be somewhat shielded from the Rays of Evil, in which case you should be banding together with your SD brothers to the south. ;)
 
Ok, I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. I have been in LA for 2 days only. It was strange for me that the ocean was on the other side.

I made my senior year in Arkansas (as a exchange student) and it was the worst year of my live. My town had 5.000 people and I came from a city of 8 million. Not to much to do, friday night we got togather at the Mac Donalds until 10pm. My prom party finished at 10:30 PM (and I didn't get laid). At that party the teachers didn't let us dance togather like "very tight". But as I was an exchange student with a girl from germany they let me.
My first host mom kicked me out of the house because I didn't want to sing at the church any more (I had to go to church 3 times a week).
So, after a year, when I came back to my country I was so upset to the world that I locked my self in my room for 3 years, just working with midi, samplers, sintesis and every single thing related with electronic music. Until I got so horny that went out to find a girl.
Then I felt so in love and I liked her so much than I want another, and then other, and then other.... until I couln't stand 3 girls at same time.
Then I moved to Orlando FL, and I meet Sarah Michelle Gellar, but I wasn't horny any more, and I had a crush on her for 3 years!. Then I came back to Venezuela and I saw this girl and we have been togather for 3 years now. She lives with me now, and we may get married some time.
Ahhh, she likes Macs too.
:p

SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, from i know what you did last summer?

that's so cool...my wife looks a lot like jennifer love hewitt and twelve years old boys used to trip over themselves and we didn't know what was up...then one day my best friend loaned me the movie and we thought it was too funny...big forehead, long brown hair and all...it was creepy, not the movie, but the resemblance
 
I am from a little town in Northern California. Not much going on up there, although we do have some computer companies. We have crappy Compac, and HP has a campus but we have another company, Apple! The town I live in is Cupertino CA!!!!! Yeah, lol I have a few friends that work at Apple, and when I was in High School me and my ex (Her father was an Apple HW engineer) would go to the Mariani Ave. Apple parking lot late at night to "talk" :). Now Im in the Military and I am studying Computer Science in Shreveport Louisiana, but I am getting out of the AF in May and planning to finish my degree at San Jose St. while once again residing in the beautiful town of Cupertino. Is there anyone else in here from Cupertino?
 
I wish!!!

I would stalk...err, follow Steve Jobs around until he gave me a job. Any job.

The RDF must be pretty strong up there so close to ground zero!
 
Denver

Came here for grad school and stayed. Originally grew up in Colts Neck, NJ.

I didn't realize there were so many Mac folks here until the day the Apple store opened. It opened the same day as a new "lifestyle center" (read: mall). I thought the line around the corner was for the GAP store or some such thing. Turns out, people were lining up for hours to try to get a free t-shirt. Pretty cool.

Any other folks from the Rockies?

Chris

Haha. I think it would be awesome on MWSF if all the Mac Heads from MacRumors would meet up and spend the day fiddling around at that wonderful expo. Maybe we should all pitch in and make a macrumors booth! ;)
 
What about MWNY???

I think New York is better. Not just because I live here, but because I could more easily afford it. hehehe...actually I could goto MWSF if someone could put me up.


UNRELATED SIDE NOTE: Anybody watch "The Osbournes" on MTV tonight? I thought it was great, seeing Ozzy as a father. Thats what My family should be like. With A bunch of Macs all over the house though...
 
i thought ozzy was evil and therefore should be using a pc, i guess even the king of satanic metal must have a creative side to his spirit if he uses macs
 
Oh, I don't think Ozzy's evil any more than Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson. You know, except insofar as you consider it evil to realize that there's a lot of money to be made in convincing teenage weenies that you're something their parents would really object to. :)
 
Totally "shock rock"...

These guys are very successful at being controversial. Ozzy bit the heads off of bats on stage. Manson plays with sexuality and religion. They get attention. They make lots of money.
Sounds like the American Dream to me.
 
Oh Yeah??? Well...

My house costs 8 gazillion dollars and I sleep with a different beautiful actress every night. (Why marry a girl who looks like Jennifer L Hewitt when you can just keep her in the rotation?)

Okay, not exactly, but I felt like I had to say it to fit in. :)

Chicago, here.
 
Im From Auckland, New Zealand :)

just finished a Mac Technician course and I'm now lookin for a job.

We do have a few macs down here ;)


we have sheeeeeps to. BAAaaaaa
