For standard surfing the Apple USB the Enet plug is plenty fast. On speedtest on my Air it's the same speed as my optimized 802.11n network and I have a 100Mbit incoming internet connection.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

Yup, was thinking refurb as well. He is old fashioned, and wanting to get it at a store. I wonder which will win, old fashion or frugal. Also talking with Gris about his used one. The phone tag with time difference is slowing things down.

you could tell him to look at models in the store (to determine whether he wants a pro or air) and then actually buy it on the website.
that's what I did.
bring some purel though.

Yup. Or I can buy on campus and get education discount. Hopefully he will be cool with the used one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Remember when you bought your last piece of home theater equipment and the sales guy tried to convince you to upgrade to Monster Cables for an extra 50 bucks? You probably stood there quickly debating the merits of laying out that kind of green for some cables, right? So, just to reiterate, these cost $12,000.

Those cables are very close to twice the price of the car I just bought.

I keep telling Drew that we are in the wrong line of audio work, but he refuses to listen. Keeps saying something about "ethics" and "morals," which always makes me confused and have to go lie down until the swimminess passes, because it's Drew we're talking about here.
