sorry bro...mine won't be getting trashed. I do somewhat what a new one, though...want to buy my macbook pro? I'm halfway serious.

You interested in trying to bargain an exchange for a Sony TX-750P with extended warranty?

Shawn said...

...do not want.


sorry man...aside from my ps3, I consider sony's proprietary ways (haha...listen to me, I'm using an *apple*!!) as evil. This opinion was formed when I hated big corporations, and sticks with me to this day.

That, and sony's ceo/cfo/c-whateverthehell-o was whining like a little bitch about how netbooks would ruin the industry...

Plus...Angel's laptop still works (I can't convince her to get a mac...not sure what her problem is), so ending up with 3 lappys is not a viable option.

No worries. Figured it was worth asking. If it's not mutually beneficial, it's not a good exchange, right? Would love to have a Mac. Not sure I could justify buying one right now. Still, it is tempting... Just out of curiosity, ow much would you want to sell yours for? (You can e-mail me if you'd rather not put that in the comments.)

they look to be going for around 1050 on ebay...so...$923?

throw in a 5g 60gb ipod video for $1007.

Any more specs on the model? (HD size, RAM, processor, etc.) Is it the next to last edition or a slightly older one? Does it have the built-in iSight or compatible with the Apple remote?

Tempting... Heading out the door for a conference. Let me stew on this a bit.
