I have wanted a mac for the longest time and I just finally bought one off craigslist! It's a rev. D white macbook (refurbished), came with a mighty mouse, and it has the following specs:

-2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo

-2GB DDR2 RAM

-120GB Hard Drive

-Superdrive

-GMA x3100 Graphics

-Leopard 10.5.4 installed

I was so happy because I got it for only $750 including the original box, reinstall media, cleaning cloth, power adaptor, and a bluetooth mighty mouse! It's in pristine condition and I can't get over how much nicer it is than running Mac OS X on a PC. Everything literally "Just Works!"

PS: Sorry for the horrible image quality. The pic was taken on my phone!

you lucky dog you ! Congrats

I just tore down my linux box (giving up on the whole linux thing for a multitude of reasons)

So now I have this small space I need to occupy with....hmm.... A macbook Pro 15" ? :D

Im glad to see so many people giving apple a chance

I make my living off of pc(s), yet always had alot of respect for apple -

does Microsoft still own $300,000,000 of non-voting shares of apple ?

I think Microsoft does own a lot of shares of apple lol. Then again, with how their stock price only seems to rise over time, Microsoft is not too bad off. I bought my 5 shares of Apple when it was at roughly $35 a share and look where it is now :laugh:

Thanks! Yeah, I was honestly surprised I was able to get one that cheap. I had been praying I would be able to get one before tuesday because I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled and really wanted to have my mac to mess around with for the 5 days I was gonna have to stay at home and recover lol.

Yeah, Larry's comment is classic lol. This guy was selling it for $800 on craigslist (still a steal but I didn't have $800), so I offered him $750 and he said ok, and when he got there that night he was like "man, guys offered me even $850 for this" and I pretty much just said "thanks for still coming and selling it to me for $750!" I was probably the most excited I have been in a while right then :laugh:

      It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
