I'm just wondering if his dad is a State Police.

Get your Blackbook and save your cash for your insurance. Your parents are 100% correct, even the one who may be a State Police Officer.
 
yeah he is! We get a goverment discount! So now I still get it for 1400 but w/o the nano! Were going to delaware to get it and even though he NJSP the lady said it would work in delaware! on august 20th I get it!
 
no i'm only 16 and I'm not gonna spend all my money on a pro so I'm gonna get it with a goverment discount for 1400 and then the money I have left I'll get an external monitor with DVI and maybe a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard! I get it on the 20th I can't wait!

Good idea. Save up and when you're ready for college, buy the mbp. You'll really appreciate it then:)
 
yeah plus when I get out of college and go to state police academy like my dad i'll get a nice comp like the mac pro with 2 monitors! I can't wait but first I have to wait to get my macbook! next week! the 20th!

Please tell me you're going to get a BA in Criminal Justice first. If you get that degree you'll have an easier time gettting promoted and making more money. With just an academy education, you'll find it hard to get the better salary and you'll be passed up for promotions.
 
I think the OP made the right choice with the blackbook. He'll get a lot of good use out of it. A good friend of mine has had the original core duo macbook for quite a while and it has done absolutely everything she needed (including playing WoW decently at low settings.) So enjoy your new toy.

I just noticed it now that you mention it. I think he needs to learn that nothing is exciting if all of it is exciting:p

Right, you'll still have to go to training, but after you finish getting a BA. I've talked to a few ex-police officers, and they swear that getting that degree really helps you earn more and move up faster. With just the training, you're going to be stuck in one place for a long time.

My dad has been a state police for 20 years.(5 years 2 go for him!) He knows how the state picks its officers. I can get any different degree for state police it doesn't have to be a BA. I'm just saying my dad didin't go to college(didn't have to back in 84 to become state police now you do) and he's making 120K which isn't bad for not going to college. Hopefully I can do the same!
