As a small few of you may know already, I will be recieving a "gift" if you will sometime next week. I am sending in a payment. That is all I am saying for now.

It is going to be an XLent experience recieveing it.

BTW, yes it has been finalized. The seller has given me a purchase order, and they said it is packed up and ready for shipping.

Awesome dude! Can't wait to see it.

Off topic but I just want to comment on how stupid some people are...

I bought a PowerMac G5 off craigslist, I booted it up and the fans always run at full speed because the plastic air deflector was taken out and never put back in by the previous owner. Upon inspection apparently they got annoyed with the noise and unplugged all the fans they could instead of figuring out what was wrong and why there is a bright red light lit on the mobo (or I guess Logic Board because Apple has to be different).

Another one... a friend of mine was given a computer to fix because it wouldn't boot. He took the memory out and noticed that someone had bought the wrong memory (I believe DDR2 instead of DDR1) and decided that since they wouldn't fit they should file down the memory stick to make it fit because... that is the only logical thing to do.

A power supply for a PowerMac G5 for $86. I picked up that G5 (Dual 2GHz), a working 400MHz PowerMac G4 and a whole bucket of accessories for $75.

At my HS we had any channel you wanted but we never used it. The only time the TVs were ever on was if the teacher was watching it during his/her lunch break.

WHAT? Are you crazy? That makes sense and is reasonable. Who goes to public school to learn? Public schools are a joke in general. The goal is to make the dumbest kid pass and officials don't care how they get to that point. I've watched them pull all kinds of tricks in my school district. After all I was a minority in my school. The last thing schools need is more funding. They need some serious budget reform

I agree 100% with that statement. All they do is lower the standards so that the students who don't care to learn or try hard can still pass. It's all a load of BS in my mind.
