BTW, since we're on the topic, here's what I bought today...
nothing but the best for my baby!

Nice job on the RP, but you might want to research those Fram filters. I've found nothing but bad reviews on them. A mechanic I trust actually took a few different filters and cut them in half to see what they're made of. Fram had the least bit of filtration material.

Give Wix or Purolator a shot. My $0.02.

Doesn't look like tea....

It's tea.

Why am I not surprised that somebody was going to say that?

Yeah I figured someone would also comment on that. Until you've actually had good tea (IE: not the burned up compressed tea in small bags LIPTON) you haven't really had tea. Then again, posting a picture like that will yield more assumptions that it is weed than anything else. </close mind.

Because it's not in a bag.

Us Americans are silly.

Speak for yourself.

My last purchase ... Apple Care for my MP ... again.

Here's mine. Day and night difference with the screen.
Also youtube doesn't make my fan scream anymore.
How did I ever live without a backlit keyboard?

 

[ZachsMacDaddy]

That's really pretty. What is it?

umm...

Speck SeeThru Satin in Cranberry.

 

[iBlue]

umm...

DOH! It was a tiny image and at the time I posted I was viewing it on dim brightness on an old powerbook, I couldn't even tell that it was an apple laptop (I just knew it looked nice). I had never heard of "Speck SeeThru Satin" before. (link, post-google for anyone else) Very nice.

NHL 09 is a fantastic game. Be a pro mode is by far the best addition ever added to a video game.

Enjoy your birthday, money and video games

I knew it was tea. I'm just saying a majority of Americans don't know that.

You are silly though

Again? WTF?

CANNOT wait till finals are over

I technically don't have finals this semester

I do have to do a final report and an essay, but I'm good at those, and they get handed in before finals week. I have two exams, too, but they aren't cumulative... gotta love it.

Wow. That seems like a perfect screen on your alu MacBook. Mind if I ask what screen is on that MB? Is it a 9C89, 9C8C, 9C8A, or the latest one, 9CA8?

How do I determine the screen?

edit: Nevermind, 9CA5

 

[SPEEDwithJJ]

iJimmy, thanks for the fast response & I appreciate it.

I do have a "small" request though. When you have some free time, do you mind taking some photos of your screen, maybe with one displaying a movie or something? Thanks in advance.

 

[iJimmy]

Sure

 

[SPEEDwithJJ]

Sure

Thanks. The new screens seem to have very good blacks, unlike the previous ones on the alu MacBooks.

I have subs in my truck, but I turn the sound way down when around people (at stop lights, etc.) I definitely don't have them to get attention, I have them because bass is a crucial part of music (not overly loud, "lugnut" rattling bass, though, subtle and sharp bass)


But yes, I agree with your statement. Every rule has an exception, though.

Just ordered some new shoes:

Tax refunds....

i decided on these

Thanks!

Yeah I'm saving the rest for a rainy or for after I graduate to use it for deposits an apartment/house but most likely its gonna be an apartment the SoCal housing market isn't too friendly to people right out of college.

Just downloaded Fast and the Furious (R5 quality).
I wasn't sure how you wanted the screenshot, but the 1st image is 1:1 and the 2nd is fullscreen.

Oops. I aplogize for not being clear earlier. I was hoping you can take a couple of pictures of your MacBook using a camera with the screen at its brightest level. Thanks.
