The Writing on the Wall

Considering that a return ticket to Singapore from Bangalore costs less than INR 10,000; are you thinking what I am thinking?

time to go get an ipod in singapore, la. Maybe get a D70 too?

[sriniram.livejournal.com]

Actually, I had a 12" Powerbook in mind, not so much the iPod. If I add an iPod and a D70 too, that'll just about take care of a few pay checks!

the pangs of bondage (with geekdom) :P

so you are getting the iPod photo + D70, then?

Geekdom = Nawabi Shauk...Uff...

it is a bad time to get a 12" PB. The SG retailers are pulling back the stocks, since many of them have manufacturing defects. Better wait for the next revision, when the production is switching back to Taiwan.

btw, the powerbook 14" superdrive version sells for the apple retail price of the non-superdrive version if you get it through a university computer store.For a discount of $300,you also get the 3 year Applecare plan included. The price works out to $1499. BTW, they extend the same benefits for alumni.See this http://www.cmu.edu/computing/store/apple.html I would have volunteered to carry one for you if i hadn't succumbed to the allure of the 15" model myself.

Thanks for pointing that out; I had no idea alumni were eligible too. You know, I agree they are not the same thing and all that, but when Dell offers a laptop with a better configuration (more RAM, more HDD, including a super drive and all that) for $750, it feels sinful to buy an Apple.

i used to feel the same,until i got the powerbook. There is no comparison. Only a thinkpad comes remotely close, but you end up paying the same once you configure a thinkpad to reasonable specifications.

Hush! Every time sriniram shills a Dell product he gets a kickback. Don't go about trying to make him see The Light.

[sriramb.livejournal.com]

Someday, i will have to get to the bottom of Srini's passion for Dell products. Let's meet next week over a bottle of sake. (If you have forgotten/emptied the bottle, do let me know. I shall replenish supplies during my return, courtesy duty free)

[sriniram.livejournal.com]

No more sake *hic*

[thaths.livejournal.com]

Actually, there is one more bottle left. And then there is the tetrapack sake if you guys don't mind partaking in that.

[jace.livejournal.com]

I don't drink sake, but I'd sure like to hear sriniram shilling for Dell.

[sriniram.livejournal.com]

Oh, and did you get a student discount on your powerbook? Was it from CMU?

[sriramb.livejournal.com]

yup. Got it from CMU with the student discount.

[sriniram.livejournal.com]

And, did you meet with Arun?

[sriramb.livejournal.com]

I don't know; I don't watch too much TV. Besides, slingshot reeks of vaporware.
