Did you get a student discount?
Yep. Anyone can get it really. I didn't realize they just made you enter your zip and select a college. Also got the iPod touch for 100 bucks with a rebate later. You can get one for free if you want the 2nd generation.
Yup that's exactly what I plan on doing. Hey, since they're so overly-priced, I'd like to save as much money as possible.  :bleh:

Macs are outrageous. However i need a really strong and portable computer that will get banged up everywhere I go. Normally I would stay away but Apple does make a damn good laptop form. Shame they charge highway robbery for it :P

Hi guys! Just wanted to check back in with you guys. I haven't posted here in MONTHS; my life has been extremely busy for a while. Mostly school, but that's been over for a few weeks, and I've had some time to relax and I've got some more time on my hands now, which is good. :) I will try to be more active here throughout this summer.

Just wanted to stop by - in case you were worried that I died or something. :P
Hi Stephen, welcome back! B)
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Heh, this is pretty interesting. This is just a rough estimate, nothing official. But according to http://directory.sootle.com/website-worth/, TWC Today is worth $905.00. Heck, I just might buy this site from you guys.  :bleh:

Haha I guess it looks at hits from public sources and assumes maximum ad revenue. Time to start sticking ads everywhere :P

Lol, we should! My conclusion is the monetary value is based on how much stuff is on it, how much space it takes up, connection speed, the host, and the ads.

My WinTV tuner broke all of a sudden and now it won't work anymore. :cry3: I've had a lot of good times with my tuner from May 21,2008 to June 19,2010. I guess I'm kinda screwed with the overnight clips I had on my VCR now :(

Interesting; the "Pepsi Refresh Project" came and taped a commercial in my city.  Just saw the commercial on MTV.

Good to see you check in Stephen, glad you're keeping things up.

Sheesh, we had some ferocious weather last night. No severe weather damage, but strangely very strong wind gusts reported. Power went out briefly a few times in Haslett last night. Thank god it didn't at all in Lansing.

I'm also working on a lovely sunburn. Been irritating the heck out of me the past few days, but I really need an overall tan :P

The same thing happened to me when I was up north on Saturday morning (during that Trammell outage of all times). Is it a software problem? It took me 2 hours total to get mine up and running again.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'd have to see it. Speaking of that, supposedly several films have been shot in Michigan lately, but I have no idea which ones they are.
