    Keep the computer for yourself and then think it over before offering to sell it next time.

    i'm a little confused (its early in the morning), but i think you should sell you tibook for $1100 or whatever the deal was, then save up a few paychecks and you shuld be able to get a decent brand new 15" pbook. like i said, its early, so i'll have to check back later and see if this makes any sense.

    Dude... the ibooks are pretty sweet... hrmm I don't know because thats a good deal if they ACTUALLY pay you. Be wary seriously.

    I am not offended. But you approached me, offering me to buy it, remember? Next time just make sure you know whether you want to sell it or not...

    If you can handle being without a mac for a few months (or maybe shorter, who knows), I'd sell it, save the money from work, and buy an ibook when the next rev comes out.

    Then you'll have the money to buy the ibook and get some accessories.
