MacBook Pro Purchase
I''m not entirely sure this is the right forum for this and if it isn''t I sincerely apologize for the noise. I''m looking to purchase my first Mac to do my Rails work in and rather than going to purchase a shiny new one right off the bat ... I thought I would check around and see if anyone happened to have an older model sitting around that they perhaps upgraded recently or just don''t use any longer. I''m looking for a 15" or 17" Macbook Pro ... so if you happen to have one sitting around and would like some extra cash for it ... please shoot me an email to bryansray [at] gmail [dot] com Thanks, guys. ps. I''ve tried craigslist and gotten responses from people who have all strangely just "moved to the UK" ... and I don''t want to get scammed. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

^_^ It''s Rails related enough for me. I would just like to tell you - spend the money and buy an air. Imagine... making those $100/hour that we RoR developers are supposed to make, you could sit on a beach in Hawaii without a care in the world, lol. -Ryan On Jan 30, 3:53 pm, "bryans...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org" <bryans...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I''m not entirely sure this is the right forum for this and if it isn''t > I sincerely apologize for the noise. > > I''m looking to purchase my first Mac to do my Rails work in and rather > than going to purchase a shiny new one right off the bat ...

Are you getting a Mac because you actually want to switch to a Mac, or because you heard the cool kids use it for Rails?

And $1800 for a machine *slower* than a MacBook. Nah, Ill pass. Apple cut too many corners to keep Al Gore happy. :-) (1) http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/first-benchmarks-macbook-air-is-the-slowest-apple-machine-on-th/ (2) If you''re on a beach a cellular data modem would be nice but: http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/adding-insult-to-injury-usb-3g-modems-wont-fit-in-the-macbo/ -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
