How was that?


Also this next thing isn't only about you, lots of people do it but


Why do people(in this thread_ find the need to say "paid for by myself"? Does that make it better? Worse? You had the $$$ because you family pays for your house, food ect, if you had to pay for that things would be different.


I don't have a problem with kids having nice stuff...I'm a kid,and have nice stuff myself, but I try not to go around pating myself on the back, when I pay for things, because I know, they only reason I have extra $$ is because my family pays for the things I need, so I can focus on the things I want.

I'm with you on this, there really isn't a good reason to do so.

They do it because they think they're higher up then us who didn't pay for it ourselves, they think they'll get more respect if people think "they paid for it."

If they aren't complete jerks, it's just because they don't want some other jerk coming along and calling them spoiled.

Am I spoiled? Yes. My setup? All paid for by my parents.

Is it a big deal? No. But some people like to think it is.

Woot! Another CRT fan!

Alas my CRT days are over... I used to use one with my iBook when it was still alive but now my iMac has replaced the long lived legacy

We are in the minority, but we love our CRT's. :)

Actually, I'm AGINST new technology in almost every form.
(Exceptions include; alternate clean renewable/inexhaustable fuel sources, and LED's. Gotta love LED's :))
 
I finally got my Speck Products see-thru clear case from Amazon (It really isn't 2nd day air, it's 3rd day air :rolleyes: ). Well anyway here's a couple pics of the updated setup.

MacBook Pro CD 2.0GHz/2GB/80GB and my 60GB iPod Video is also shown in the picture.


I had to retake this shot 30 times (That's not exaggeration) to get it to look decent, I really need to get a tripod :p.

LCD is by no means a new technology. Plasma started development in the 1950s, and LCD TVs were actually working in the 1970s (although they were INCREDIBLY expensive and absolutely crap).

You're incredibly lucky considering your age! Also, it's megabytes, not megabits. They're two very different units.

Why on earth do you need a Mac Pro at the age of 14?:eek:

I bought my Dual P4 Dell when I was 13 :) What's stupid is that for the same money I could have bought a Quad G5. I just didn't think about buying a Mac at that age...

I bought my 1st PC when I was 13 or 14 also (only 5 years ago or so) and it was damn powerful for the time. I hadn't considered a mac since I wanted to game with it, but I can understand that some people would need superior performance to play games and such that they can't get in a MBP or iMac.

Btw diehardmacfan, out of curiosity, do you do some sort of editing ?
