Ok, so who's going to be first in line to sue Apple for "making them addicted" to buying new hardware...? Devilish2.gif

gunug,

You think too small!!  laughhard.gif

I've got people who 1tell me I am a lock for a free Mac Pro and a free MacBook Pro both with the maximum set of options (CPU speed, memory, etc..)! I am writing this from my hospital bed where I am in a 72 hour lockdown for acute depression. Hmm, maybe 3 million in cash will also be necessary.
