So, you mean that you bought 4 Gb of ram for $15? No, my "flea-speck brain does not believe you. Maybe you should go back and read the gobbledegook last sentence again, because it doesn't mention who TF you're talking about, Einstein.
We can't help if you don't know how to shop. FYI, Newegg sold that RAM and you can find that deal mentioned on shopping sites if you Googled it. But, no, you're too busy missing "Someone I know..." so you go around using an abbreviated f-bomb. Go ahead and don't believe me. A fool and his money are soon parted, and I bet you're dirt poor thanks to your "brilliance."

Don't know how to shop? I don't need any ram, all of my Macs are maxed out from:
They're better to deal with than Newegg, OWC, etc. If their ram fails, they'll send replacement module(s) IMMEDIATELY, even before they receive the bad ram back, so you don't have a long down time while you wait for the transit times. You probably think that's just stupid, don'tcha.
You still haven't edited that literary gem that I mentioned before, you must be proud of it.

As a matter of fact, it IS stupid, because I've never ever had so much as one RAM module fail. But if you want to keep throwing away money, go right ahead. Perfect proof that a fool and his money are soon parted. I'm sure it makes perfect sense in your mind to spend $70 for 4GB of RAM just so you can have "immediate replacement" instead of just paying $30 for 8GB and holding half for spares. The latter would actually allow truly immediate replacement because you'd already have it in hand instead of waiting for it to arrive by UPS. In fact, buy just 2 or 4GB extra and you could cover all your machines, assuming they all use the same type. Hmm, $15 for each machine plus $15 worth of spares vs. $70 for each and every single machine. Tough choice.
By the way, Shakespeare, it's RAM, not "ram," which anybody with half a brain cell would know. But then again, maybe you are a rocket scientist like you think, working for "nasa."

Well, junior, the last memory that I bought wasn't available for $15, the best price for 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR was just under $100, back in July. I can remember paying that much for 96 MB, and, that was a damn good price, at the time, mid 90's. In the early 90's it was even higher, per MB. Memory is like anything else, it can go bad, if you don't know that, then you just learned something.
If you want to buy spare ram just to have it on hand, be my guest, but it isn't necessary. I can get overnight replacement, and not tie up money needlessly. And No, my machines do not all take the same type ram. No Hackintoshes here, you can waste your money on that crap.
BTW, I know it's RAM, and you knew exactly WTF I was talking about.
Oh yeah, before I go, data memory systems is cheaper than Newegg on 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR, check the prices.

Oooh, you're sooo clever. You've been buying this stuff since the early 90s! Such a long memory. Not like some of us "juniors" who remember forking over more than $2000 for an Apple II with 48kB. Forgive me, old wise sage.

I don't need to buy extra RAM to keep on hand because I'm not paranoid about RAM failure. And I don't have any systems where the failure of one module is going to take the whole machine down anyway and leave me with your dreaded "down time." (For someone who thinks himself extremely knowledgeable about writing, it's amazing that you don't know that the correct term is "downtime.") In fact, the only Mac that requires RAM be installed in pairs is the Mac Pro and it's obvious you don't have one since you didn't buy FB-DIMMs. And even then, if you have your systems "maxed out" as you claim, removing one pair will not disable your computer, only reduce the amount of available memory. Any fool knows "lifetime" warranties are nearly worthless for RAM because you'll have to replace it when you buy your next computer anyway, since specifications change yearly. But I guess you have to hang onto your systems a lot longer than I do mine because you pay so much more for them.
As for your hatred of Hackintoshes, my friend's Hackintosh is as functional and as stable as my genuine Macs. Unlike you, I know and admit that even Macs aren't perfect. And he paid a lot less for more speed, memory and expandability than my Macs have.

First, there's no such thing as 800MHz DDR. At that speed, it's DDR2. Second, you're an idiot and you demonstrate that time and again. Here's what you were either too lazy or too dumb to find. You show me where on this page there's any 2GB memory for $7.50.

It's not as good as the "Back to school" deal they ran over the Summer, where the edu discount included a free iPod Touch. But, Apple is not famous for low pricing, so what did you expect?
The refurbed models continue to be the best deals on Apple products, and none of them include a Black Friday discount either. We should not forget that the fairly recent phenomenon of Black Friday pricing to entice customers INTO a retail store, does not obligate anyone to offer ridiculously low pricing on anything we want, or their entire inventory of any particular items. That some of this Black Friday pricing has made it to online vendors is quite a bit more costly to any vendor, and they aren't in business to lose money. Prior to the advent of Black Friday, George Washington's birthday was the biggest day in the retail business, and online sales didn't exist.
All summed up, Apple doesn't owe anyone an out of the ordinary deal. Even at that, they had a pretty nice deal for the first 100 customers entering certain Apple Stores today. See, getting the customer into a retail store gives a company the opportunity to sell products aside from the special deals that brought them in to the brick and mortar store to start with. Online sales do not present the same opportunity for Apple. Now, we've come to the point of declaring that if we don't get pampered with special deals, then it sucks. That's both juvenile, and unrealistic.

What I want to know is if I will still get $100 off for the student discount on top of the black friday deal.
So, you think that anyone here knows?
