@59eur (shipping included) with a SE HCB-105 BT handsfree I think it was a cool deal...

 

[babybanana]

It's folded in half, I'm planning to wear it that way looks cooler

Some funky shoes I brought today, both for £20 altogether

I rip all my DVDs to my hard drives in high quality to be able to watch them on different TVs around the apartment.

Seagate Momentus XT 500GB
Final upgrade to my MacBook Pro, replacing the old 5400RPM Hitachi. I really don't know how I could upgrade my MacBook Pro any more... any suggestions?

All you need to do now is upgrade your sig.
Quick question though...I thought that the max memory the late '08 MBP's could take was capped to 4GB?? I'm planning on upping mine soon and would rather go with 6GB [4 and 2 stick] rather than what I was going to purchase [4GB as 2/2].

^^Santa Rosa chipsets were capped at 4GB of RAM. I have the same.

Isn't it too overwhelming to have Teh Pron™ on so many TV's at the same time?

I'll change the sig when I actually receive the stuff and put it in

Yes, you can definitely do 6GB of RAM on a late '08 MacBook Pro as shown by the attached screenshot of my system info.

0_o... and you didnt know that all unibody Santa Rosas can do 6GB of RAM, but only have problems with 8GB?

This page on OWC shows which laptops and desktops 6GB of RAM is compatible with.

A new (AMAZING) snowboarding jacket to go with the rest of my gear and some new googles.

I did get ripped on the new googles though due to my own stupidity : / They were $125 but I clicked the custom button just to see the options, which boosted it to $145 and didn't realize that the options I ordered were already on a default set of googles (which are the $125) until after the thing was ordered :/

EDIT: Unibody Santa Rosa? Huh? The Unibody started with the Penryn.
EDIT AGAIN: AAAAAND I see the orig ? was about a late '08 MBP....oh man, I already need another coffee break. My bad, but the info below is correct for the Merom/SR chipsets...but now irrelevant for the questions above.

I did make a small blunder. It depends on which Merom/Santa Rosa revision you have:
From here:
"The MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo "Mid-2007/Santa Rosa" models introduced June 5, 2007, and the "Early 2008/Penryn" models also use the same type of memory, but officially support up to 4 GB with two 2 GB SO-DIMM modules (this covers all "pre-Unibody" MacBook Pro models with processor speeds other than 2.16 GHz and 2.33 GHz). However, just as with the previous series, third-parties such as site sponsor Other World Computing, have successfully installed more RAM than is officially supported -- up to 6 GB using one 2 GB module and one 4 GB module."

From here

Damn you and your euphemisms, Surely.

For a late '08 Unibody, here is the max ram as stated from MacTracker:

There are no Late 2008 15" Macbook Pros with 2.66 or 2.93GHz. Those were Early 2009 17" Macbook Pros.

You must have a strong stomach, man, I can't stand to look at that, let alone think of eating it.

 

[Anonymouslives]

Not bad if you get them for free

What do you mean? I'm strongly considering the Dre beats studio's or Bose QC 15, but not sure which to get yet.

They are not worth their price tags.

Why..... that looks great.

I ordered Oxtail Stew at a Cuban restaurant, it was so good.

My favorite is Jamaican styles.
