Amazon.com: Apple MacBook Pro MB134LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive): $1644 after a $150 mail in rebate
Since the new MacBook and MacBook Pros were announced yesterday, the “old” ones are going for a song. This 2.5GHz system was the top end MacBook Pro, and two days ago, was selling for $2499. That’s a screaming deal on what is still a terrific computer (I’m typing this on a slightly older version of the same computer).
That’s an Amazon affiliate link, so if you buy after clicking, I get a percentage from Amazon, that I’ll put towards a cool new project that I’m getting ready to unveil. Don’t feel obligated to use it, but if you do, I’ll appreciate it greatly.

I have a deal for friends of mine. I have a car, a 1998 Saturn SW2 wagon. I have been the only owner. This is the deal, I need to get rid of it. Now.
The good:
- The body and engine are good
- Cheap (very, willing to work deal with friends)
- AC/4-door/wagon/about 85k miles?
The bad:
- Hasn't been started in almost 2 years
- Probably needs alternator
- One flat tire
I need to get rid of it. It does not pass inspection currently, and due to financial issues, I wasn't able to get it to pass inspection because of the alternator issue. Car comes as-is, and probably needs towed (although two years ago we got it running, the battery just won't hold a charge for more than a day), cleaned a little (leaves, pollen, dust, etc), and needs a little work to get started again (I am sure).
It was great car, and I'd like it to go to friends over a stranger. Please send e-mail if you are serious about this. You know the drill, punkwalrus at yahoo dot com. Comments screened. I'll have it up for a week here before I go to strangers.
