My MacBook * grin * it's nice.
I haven't had a-lot of time for things... but it just came to me, I never took any photos of my new Apple Laptop. Well i tell you what I'm very pleased because it was only suppose to come with 512 mb memory, Well it came with 1024, Yes, One gig of memory i was so happy, because i need that extra memory to run Parallels, with my Windows Xp image when i need it. Enjoy the pictures.

Understanding Engineers
Understanding Engineers - Take One
Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
Understanding Engineers - Take Two
Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer.
The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections. " The last one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
Understanding Engineers - Take Three
An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."
He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."
The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want."
Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

Maybe i just like to fuck with people?
well thanks anyways.
but 1800 dollars in just about anyones book is a lot of money.
I am sorry you paid retail and got boned. And now are in need
of some quick cash.
but its not like you are letting it go for liquidation prices...
10% on the dollar would be giving it away... or free would be giving it away.
18 One hundred dollar bills in your hot little hand is not giving anything away.
I do want my mac... pretty dam bad indeed.
I am not playing with you here.. i really do have that 1800 for you on monday
its your call.

Yes that is the identical bed, as you can see the first website price ($3199) is for the mattress only, they charge you another $300 for the box spring. Also I am throwing in the tempurpedic mattress protector which is another $69 and the frame which is a heavy duty frame.
I will let all of that go for $1800....minus the headboard. If you want the headboard you can have it all for $2000. I originally did not list the headboard but am willing to sell it to someone who needs it. If you decide later on you want the headboard for $200 and I still have it, you can have it.
As you can see you would be getting an awesome deal for either 1800 or 2000, whatever you decide.
Here is a link for the headboard.

The mattress practically brand new, only slept on a few months. If you look at the Tempurpedic website and look at the Celebrity model you will see that the celebrity also comes with its own built-in pillow top.
Right now it is just taking up space in an extra bedroom so I will be willing to let it go for $2000.
If you also are interested, I have a brand new Iron headboard that I picked up with the mattress. It cost 500 brand new, you can have it for $250 if you want. It is not girly at all, it would look great in a man's bedroom. The manufacturer website is "Wesley Allen" and it is the "Aspen" model, color a brownish rust.
Let me know if you want to see pics.
Cash only please, thank you.

Just wanted to know if it was alright if it did get shut down ,and if it restars alright, that's all..

you wrote that I was asking unreasonable things, well selling me something and not be completely straight with your answers and then telling me no more questions, what's that about???
I just need to know it I can never turn it off, can you right back a simple answer like" no you can't turn it off, it won't start"
alright, I will be waiting for your answer, oh and also, if it can't be turned off, can I get that fixed??
