OMG!! I can't wait!!

Are you going to do a dance when you get it? I WOULD!! If you are please post it on youtube and don't forget to sing when dancing the "blackbook song"!!
 
"Off they go into the wild blue yonder"

APPLEFAN8, I would suggest that you transfer your files to your new MacBook via the ethernet cable. It will be much faster.

BTW, I was just messing with you(again) regarding reporting you to the authorities. But please keep it here so we know where to go to get the latest up to the minute status of you & your MacBook.

Ok I have one! I'll do that I have like an RJ-45 enthernet cable! WIll that work? Well I'm leaving now. I'll tty guys in about 2 hours when I come back. I'll post pics. Also sblasl was that the method you used to transfer your itunes library? Just wondering. peace
 
BTW, If you're a college student and you want to buy Photoshop CS3... go to a college store. They usually have MASSIVE discounts on software.

He is 16 and a junior in high school. But when he does go to college, he is getting a MBP.
 
I'm so excited I might have to buy too!!

The cable you have will work. It is a method I have used many times. Because my entire household is on the Mac platform we are able to use FireWire to accomplish this task as well.

We're excited for you, have fun with your Dad. Times like this are fewer & fewer as you grow older.

Sorry for pics being so small just I don't know how to make them bigger I'll figure it out.

Heres 2 pics of my set-up! I am just trying now how to figure out how to transfer my music from our dell to my new macbook! I also got a usb cable for my printer, .mac for a year, a 15 dollar itunes gift card! Anyone know how to transfer music? If not, I'll try and figure it out.

Yes, please make it bigger. I'm an old man and my sight is not what it used to be.

Congrats on finally getting the most elusive of all blackbooks.
 
Man o man, that thing is sexy.

You left me in suspense all day, Mindlessly refreshing this page.

Well lets get a review/first reaction! Or better yet, a vid with the iSight. (now you can update your sig!)
 
More pictures! Bigger pictures!! :O

You've only made us wait for about half a century, so hop to!

Oh wow, sblasl. That's some machine you posted there - just imagine the amount of text documents you could churn out with that thing! :eek:
 
yeah lol! After transferring all 800 songs and movies to my new mac from my windows! I am just seeing the power of the mac! .Mac is really cool! I got that when my b-day comes i'm gonna get apple care, ipod dock, photoshop, and an external screen! This machine is amazing!
 
Thanks for the story jessica! I'm sure it will sell great at bookstores! I'm not being mean but do you have any macs? Jw thanks
Me too thanks. I hope the bookstores are in Delaware too where you can buy my book tax free with your dad's government discount because he is a State Police.
No I don't have any macs...none at all...not even the one you have. The one in a photo I once posted was photoshoped with Photoshop CS that was $650 at my Apple Store.

Marry me?? ;)
Wait what?

Yes, please make it bigger. I'm an old man and my sight is not what it used to be.

Congrats on finally getting the most elusive of all blackbooks.
hah hah yum.
Man o man, that thing is sexy.

I hope for your sake you are kidding and employed, or at least employed.

its really nice! It makes my background stand out well! I love this computer!
Yes the glossy screen benefits include, but not limited to, making your desktop background look great. Forget any other functionality of such feature.

Thank God this is over, I was actually nervous most of the day but to recap for those who do not care to scroll...

Applefan has a dad who is a State Police Officer who gets a government discount on macs who went to a drag race in PA over the weekend I guess it was we weren't really told but he drove 600 miles with his son who is 16 who is a junior in high school who has anxiously been awaiting a blackbook but could not go the other day due to the 600 mile drive and his dad the state police was sleepy, not just any blackbook the one where he will get it in delaware and not pay any sales tax because that is how they roll in the great DE and then he gets this discount from his dad because his profession is something in government and thus the government discount now he was going to get a mbp but then his dad and mom said no f'in way kid you get the blackbook with the free hp printer the ipod dock maybe or maybe not and the $15.00 itunes gift card to go with his new itunes account in which he will open once he gets his blackbook and his $15.00 USD (not delaware dollars) Apple iTunes gift card where he will then come home and post pics but only if we say he should but will post them anyway without confirmation from the board but before that he has to make sure that we give confirmation of Apple's stock of photoshop cs where he will get that but then he would not because it is $650 and that is a lot of delaware dough you see but back to the fact that he gets a government discount because his dad is a state police and he has $1300 in checks that he had to cash and he had the cash in his hands but gave it to his parents where they will pick up the slack on the difference between the price of the blackbook minus the cost savings from the government discount because his dad is a state police and no tax because that is how delaware rolls you see and then the free ipod dock but that changed on page 2 i think, i was drinking and i do not recall but back to the free HP printer and and the $15.00 apple itunes gift card for his new itunes account all of this and his dad was going to leave with him at 9:30 am this morning, that is delaware time I believe and he was going to get it and be back in two hours with pics which he posted but were small so those of us who are generally ****ed with our vision may find it hard to see but the blackbook is sexy i mean it is not your normal blackbook it is the delaware tax free government discounted free ipod dock or not free hp printer and free $15.00 itunes gift card version of the apple blackbook where he will use it until he goes to college which may be far off because as you can clearly see there are some issues there with writing competency but do not worry he can distinguish between we'll and well which is nice but everything else looks like a bad text message like the ones i sent on my last birthday when the drinking really got under way in the meantime i believe if you go back to pages 3 and 4 there are also three marriage proposals out there for yours truly and applefan8 the caring soul that he seems to be really would like to know who i plan to choose but one of said proposals came late in the game so as of last night halfway thru a bottle of cab (that is cabernet for you youngin's) i was asked who i would choose between but i think one person is 14 and the other is definitely not 14 in case you were wondering but on pack 4 there is another proposal that i may have to consider as a booty call but i'll refrain from continuing because children are present and now back to applefan8 who has his government discounted blackbook that will have applecare soon enough something about a birthday rock out with the applecare on your 17th birthday nothing say lovin' on your 17th birthday better than a box with a warranty card and then of course in the middle applefan8 wanted to know if i had a mac which i probably do not thus the reason for my inconsistent jealousy and iswitched is the monkey feeder who has some vested interest in applefan8's purchase of the government discounted free hp printer and $15.00 apple itunes card blackbook and so in closing, in the event you all weren't really paying attention i hope my recap my inconsistent use of proper grammar, the lack of periods, and the large run on sentence that probably lost half of you really catches you up to speed.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up (I actually read all that :p). However, we are still waiting on larger pictures which may or may not be resized in Photoshop which APPLEFAN may or may not have purchased.

I too read your entire recap, and I gotta say that I haven't laughed that hard in a while. It seems as though marriage proposals on this thread are so yesterday so I won't bother going there, but I will tell you that you Jessica are clearly the only reason I am refreshing/reading this thread.

You have a huge fan in Canada!
 
Well, but I have some questions..

1. How did you get the govt. discount?
2. When are you getting your macbook?
3. Which macbook did you get?
4. Have you thought of getting photoshop? I think you may like it


I think thats it for now, but when you are going to step up to a macbook pro or another mac, please let us know. This time, at least 2 weeks in advance, multiple threads each day and a countdown timer.

Enjoy the macbook!

My stomach hurts and I have gotten back in the chair after reading Jessica's play by play recap. Very, very funny.:cool:

Hey, how come no one congratulated me on getting my new shiny charcoal grey PowerBook 180 that I did not get a discount on that I bought in the state of Arkansas and it cost in excess of $4,000.00.:rolleyes:
