      THEY told me you're an idiot. Normally i try to resist going along with what THEY say, but in this case THEY just had too much evidence to dispute.

    Great. I guess this is good to know. Also, a conservative market helped traditional running sneakers out sell hightops once again. Contemporary loafers from manufacturer Ralph Lauren lost out to the upstart "Urban Skreetware Loafa's" by long time boot maker Timberland. Success is laregly due to Timberland's recent advertising campaign featuring professional basket players and rappers engaged in excessive alchohol consumption, horrendous linguistics, spousal abuse, and the purchasing and wearing of shiny objects that are more commonly found on females. I wonder which is bigger this year, The Big Mac or The Whopper?

    Not to mention the fact that there's almost no upgrades you can do, besides maybe memory and the hard drive. Need a new computer? Gotta buy a whole new one!

    Hey...this thread is about laptops, not Macs. Oh...nevermind.
