    So as some of you may or may not know, tomorrow (at 4.30am) I will be leaving my house [and my mac] to go on a cruise, and as some of you may or may not know, I sold my mbp at an auction for the relative bargain of 11,000BsF, or $5,116 US. Which puts me in mac heaven when I enter the mac store (or mac reseller, or whatever!).

    *a moment of silence for my departing mbp*

    What will fez buy? Will he succumb buy a macbook air despite it's craptastic battery life? Is he really that shallow? Or will he buy another and more powerful mbp? Or maybe a mac pro! Who knows, one thing's for sure, if he goes for the mac pro, he is sure to be compensating for something else!

    tune in next monday at 9pm central for the next episode. until then, cheerio!

    ps: i will be too busy being drunk soaked in deadly uv rays to post. So have a great week guys!

    New MBP, I'd say. Man, you could make a fortune buying Macs in America and selling them in Venezuela! :p

    indeed you could. But I've heard you can get in lots of trouble doing that type of stuff as the Venezuelan gov't is super strict about it.

    Have fun fez, and get a MBP!

    Good luck getting the mac pro in your luggage :p
    If I was you, I'd get a new ipod and the best MBP I could afford. But anyway have fun in the good ole' USA, and I hope you enjoy our current state with the election and all.
