    OH PLEASE... You only want this to run bootcamp on it...



    Hence why I'm keeping my Powerbook as my 'lifestyle' computer and in january buying a Core 2 Duo, overclocking it to 3Ghz+, adding 1066Mhz DDR RAM and a nVidia Direct x10 card, for those games and encoding tasks.

    Haha, but at least the Pointer Sister's had a good song. Who the fuck older than 15 listens to Linkin Park?



    But here you go: repackaged for a whole new generation.

    Jay Z, however, is a rapper. And wasn't Sunilramen the rap fan talking about the Fiddy Cent computer last month?

    As JayZ says at the start: Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're far too kind 8)

    Some people here will "get" Linkin Park. I'm almost 28, I've still got teenage angst issues



    As for the Riot Grrls type of music, I shall explore that too. Isn't it angsty too? Heh. nice link though gregmightdothat. Checked out a bit of the sample. Old skool - retro - electoclash - riotgrrl... in 2004. whoa.



    With just 4 days to go though, ANGST and RIOT and EXCITED are all words we can relate to no matter what our age.



    I'm no rap fan exactly, but JayZ vs Linkin Park rocked my world. The fiddy cent obsession, well, that was tuning into the global vibe and "predicting" the news of him trying to get involved with Apple. You know, for da kids yo.



    I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore

    So for one last time I need y'all to roar

    One last time I need y'all to roar MAC PRO...!!!!!!!1!!1!!!!!

    I have loved Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory came out, I think I was over 15 then. Their Reanimation album was superb, but that Jay Z stuff is pants...

    The current consensus is late 2006/early 2007. We'll find out on Monday.

    It's thirty days, IIRC. So, if you buy new hardware, and a new OS is released within 30 days, you can get said new OS for media + shipping costs, which I believe are in the region of $20 - 30.

    For those outside the UK (I had to look that stuff up):

    "pants (!)\tNoun/Adj. Nonsense, rubbish*, bad. From the standard British English of pants, meaning underwear; also a variation on 'knickers'. E.g."The first half was pants but I stayed until the end and it was actually a great film." [1990s] Exclam. An exclamation of annoyance or frustration. From the noun, (above)."



    *"rubbish n. Everyday waste - better known in the US as trash or garbage (neither of which are used much in the UK)."



    Now, how dare you call Linkin Park vs JayZ rubbish..!!!!

    3 days to Go. YEAHHHHHH

    I was thinking, what if the Mac Pro was *not announced* at all next week?



    BTW, I FOR F**KSSAKE finally got my paws on the new MacBook demo models.

    And one guy was using a black MacBook at a cafe too.

    And the demo Mac Mini 1.66ghz Core Duo was playing back 1920x1080p hidef trailer on a 32+inch LCD.

    And seeing iTunes Gift Cards $20, $50, $100 at local 7-eleven type stores makes my heart smile.

    Sounds like nothing to some of you, but to me, back in friggin civilisation, I am.

    I've been thinking that too. I don't know what the hell I'd do, I really need one for the school year even if it ships in late October.
