yup.
...not rich, and don't wear size 13 sneakers, so it must be my charming personality!
Correction: its breakfast for two, and throw in one of those sparkling
berry drinks, and we're max'ing out at $ 3.85 ish. Also, I plan to
flash my membership card for the Rennlist discount.

Hey Trickydisco, please make sure you warn your GF that the sooner you run out of cash, the sooner the 911 will run out of gas and the sooner she will be pushing the car... Maybe she will decide to skip breakfast altogether...

I can't make on Saturday, work to do. If Walter in a white 944 shows up say hi. His 85 has the neatest sport seats, linen inserts. He was at the Sunoco at Cawthra and Queensway and I told him about the meeting place.

Yup! But only if they have some deals on opening day...you know how I hate to pay full price 
. Also getting a free replacement battery from them on the 15" since apparently they double as BBQ starter briquets!

good to see you yesterday...even if you were driving an RX8
. I ended up going back to the Apple store this morning and spoke to someone else who was more than happy to give me the 10% educational discount on a 17" MacBook Pro (glossy screen) and the 3 yr Applecare warranty...saved about $500 vs what the 2 doofus' were offfering me yesterday.This machine is awesome! I can't get over how sharp and bright the screen is. It took about 2 hrs for it to migrated all my files (automatically) from my old G4 PowerBook.
BTW: the store wasn't as packed today as when we were in there yesterday...that was nuts!

that's good to hear. i went to the yorkdale apple store in the evening to try them out again. I'm really teetering on the edge here...can't decide whether or not to take the plunge as it is a not unsubstantial amount of money. I have 2 decide soon...i go back 2 U of T in a week or so and if i can't type up notes i'm up the Ganges without a bamboo ore, so to speak 
.
and for the record, the RX-8 is a drift machine...god i love that thing

^ i think ur probably right..i'll just suck it up and bite the bullit so to speak. I think i'll skip the 15" pro though..i really like to be able 2 double click on stuff I shall make another trip to the U of T store on tuesday and try it out one last time.
But let me put my hesitation this way: If there were 1 or 2 important things that you miss from being able 2 use a PC, what are they?
The one thing that sorta ticked me off is that Quickbooks hasn't released a Premiere version of Quickbooks for Mac yet..so my store accounting files and inventory tracking/other fun stuff won't be able 2 transfer over from the PC.and i like to keep that kind of info with me everywhere i go.

time to be there, as the crowds in the afternoons are mental.
