Excuse me for being excited, but as a struggling author….
I sent a 2 year old dell laptop (worth about $500) in for repair under warranty. DELL LOST IT! After 3 weeks of endless phone calls to Dell reps in India, Dell sent me a top of the line “moby ****” size gaming laptop. Vista ended up being such a pain and the laptop so big I sold it for $1500 on ebay and bought a 17” Dell Studio laptop (actually not a bad laptop)—but vista was so ugly and slow I promptly sold it for $1000 on ebay and bought a macbook pro 2.4 17” hi res with leopard for $1500 (but got $200 back with live.com). So I paid $1300 for it…but then I started drooling over a 3 month old 17” hi res macbook pro 2.6 200gb 7200rpm 4gb ram with warranty thru 8/2011(came with an extra battery, a new latop case and an aluminum laptop bench!) Bought it on ebay $1811 shipped (minus $144 live.com discount!). Promptly sold the 2.4 locally for $1600) So I paid $1667 for the Macbook pro laptop! And basically Dell and Microsoft ($348 from live.com) paid for it! And enough left over to buy mac office 2008, and macspeech 2008.
And this macbook pro is so beautiful and fast….:) This is the first apple I have ever owned! I also invested in the Apple Genius program for $99…a 1 to 1 hour appt each week for a year!

Hahha, you sound exactly like me. I love making profit. If you know what your doing, you can get anything for free in this world. Like earlier this year i built a VW up from nothing with just parts in my garage. Ended up selling it for 800, turned around and bought a hatchback honda that was barly running. Fixed it up and sold it for 1800, then bought a Mitsubishi eclipse GSX for 2400 and planning to sell it for 6000. So basically if you put a little work into something, you get something back.

I hate to be the pessimist here, more philosophical, but since you paid for your original dell, did you really get the macbook for free?

I'm just jealous.:Angry-Tongue: Congrats!
