17" MBP 2.66 GHz

Couldn't wait for Arrandale, and at $1,200, it practically begged to be bought. A guy had 30 or so of them he wanted to get rid of, unfortunately I didn't have the spare coin to buy two :rolleyes:

Is that used or new? 30 or so to get rid of? Were they in his trunk or the back of a truck? Where?

It was an ebay auction last week (that didn't last long), and I was one of the lucky guys who got one. He worked for a company that had bought these about 6 months before they went out of business, so they were trying to make a quick buck to make up for damages.

Wow, talk about a deal and a half. Good snag.

That router is filled full of fail. The airport extreme is a much faster device.

I only have one issue with it...

It drops all 5GHz wireless connections a few times a day...

I am thinking about taking it back....

Not a real "recent purchase".

I got this 2008 Prius with 27000Miles three months ago for $17000 OTD + dealer's Free lifetime oil change.

Package 6 = backup camera, 6 speakers (no GPS and JBL)

40MPG in cold temp. 48 in warm temp.

It just got annoying rattles from the driver-side speaker.

Dealer just replaced a new water pump and two front stabilizers. Cost $0

Nice 40/48 MPG; my car only gets like 12 normally; 15 if I'm lucky.

I had a Ferrari Pit Crew set that I bought a few years back at the Montreal GP and finally built it last week. Dunno... got an urge for more. This one caught my eye. A fun few hours :)

If Ferrari drives that, they will surely win.

Mine has been on for the past 6 months and it has yet to hiccup once. *knock on wood*

Yours might be defective?
