She has a 2008 Chevy Malibu. The mid-grade one.
PS - this Illinois Internet Download Tax thing is BS! It cost $10.57 to download the 3.0 update.

The internet connection died during the last 30 seconds of the 3.0 download!!! Now i gotta start all over again and wait 20 mins.
EDIT: Okay, 3.0 is installed and running. Let's hope the new Push service doesn't drain my 1st Gen battery too much. *crosses fingers*

Good luck!
I couldn't resist.
My burning question: Does it make the Apple startup chime when it is fully charged? LOL
There's a little Pixar reunion going on - is that Lightning McQueen in the background?
Nice video - looks quite cute but the toy is boring.
I just ordered my first Mac ever!
Minus the remote. (The computer was a gift, so I tried not tacking on extras if I could help it...)
I got the 24" with the ATI Radeon 4850 (the one upgrade I always planned to get), and thanks to my amazing grandmother who's footing most of the bill, she convinced me it was okay to upgrade to to the 3.06GHz processor! I was gonna go with the 2.93GHz but she said I'd regret it if I didn't get the better one. Wow. I love my family so much.
I also ordered iWork, and I chose the wired Mighty Mouse and wired Apple Keyboard with the extra keypad.
And Applecare, of course. I didn't upgrade the RAM or hard drive. I figure I can buy RAM later for much cheaper, and an external hard drive if I need it.
We actually had a heck of a time getting the shopping cart to work for us, even though we were at a physical Apple store and had two employees helping. It kept adding in stuff and bringing our total to $10,000, and then refreshing itself and showing the cart to be empty when it wasn't! What the? We finally fixed it though. Hooray!
It's set to be delivered anytime between June 27th and July 7th. My birthday is July 9th, so, I'm very, very happy.

Wow - what an amazing grandmother indeed to know what a processor is let alone telling you 3.06GHz was preferable to 2.93GHz (I kid, I'm sure she just said get the 'better one' rather than go into an in-depth discussion with you about Apple products).
It will be awesome - welcome to the world of Macs, enjoy and try not to get birthday cake on it in a couple of Tuesday's time...
Could not bring myself to buying an iphone due to employment status and grad school cost looming next month got this baby for $150 w/o contract
Trying to reduce expenses so dropped Time Warner ISP Cable to ATT just cause price doesn't fluctuate. Now trying to drop my Cable TV from $120 to sub $100 (might drop premium for Netflix)
Would have gotten this for $110 at Dell but sold out =(

After debating and arguing with myself for months, I finally sold my iBook G4, and got this:
HP Mini 110 XP. Stock, except for the free upgrade to the 160 GB HDD. Should be here sometime in early July.

2.8 Ghz MBP 4gb Ram 500gb 7200rpm Hdd plus apple care
Free iPod Touch that I'm selling
Canon Pixma mp480
Samsung T240HD I love this thing 1080p HD Tv tuner, 2 hdmi, component, vga, and dvi its awesome!
Camelbak Rogue hydration pack for Rothbury Music Festival and Lollapalooza this summer
Just bought a 15" MacBook Pro 3.06GHz 4GB RAM 500GB HD at 7200RPM...
and a Samsung T200HD HDTV/Monitor, MonoPrice MiniDP to HDMI adapter, and HDMI Cable...
and a Seagate Desk for Mac 1TB with FW800 to store my videos on...
and a Rocketfish Bluetooth Laser Mouse for Mac (a steal at $18)...
and an iPod Classic as a graduation present. There are also some other little things, and maybe an mStand. I can't wait for all this to arrive tomorrow and Friday. I only buy a new Mac every 4-5 years, and this is the best part.

Just letting you know, the mini display port to hdmi wont carry the audio from the macbook. You are going to need to run another audio cable
Thanks for the heads up, I'll get an audio cable too. It's too bad it doesn't do the audio (I know HDMI supports it), especially when Apple is all about fewer cables and stuff.
An HP Wireless Elite keyboard. It's great! Very thin but very comfortable to type on. Key travel is just right. Just need to get used to it!
Some clothing from the Gap (Bermuda shorts, boardshorts [which are surprisingly much higher quality than my Quiksilver pairs], some shirts).
And this:
Not my photo. But that's exactly it. First Cold Stone Creamery I've seen in Canada! Hoorah.

No way! You got rid of it! Although I can't imagine the change will be pleasant. Using a netbook isn't quite using a full-featured laptop. But you have desktops, am I right? I would never use a netbook as my primary computer!
I recommend you install Windows 7 on that thing. Ditch XP. Windows 7 will fly.
I still have my eMac, don't worry.
What pushed me over the edge was my PC dying two days ago. I need Windows XP for the webcomic I do, and since I was considering getting one of these anyway, it seemed like a good time to do it.If I can get my desktop PC to work again (I think it just needs a power supply or something) then I will definitely do that.cleanup said:
Nice keyboard, it looks really comfortable.cleanup said:
