The Third Fictional Reporter reporting. . .
Upper Arlington -- After many long years of waiting, and complaining -- so many years that the product line changed names from iBook to MacBook -- The Fat Kid finally sprung for the new Mac that has to last him another six+ years. It cost him his future, and the greater part of his wife’s future, but it was worth it to be the envy of former PbLFers for the few months that it’ll be state-of-the-art.
The new MacBook is less than an inch tall when closed, and looks kind of out of place on the Fat Kid’s desk.
The Fat Kid discovers that no matter how cool an aluminum MacBook looks, he still can’t photograph it properly.
The Fat Kid’s MacBook has several gigs of different types of stuff that make it way more expensive than it normally would be.
The FatBook comes with OSX version 10.5, which has several features that are more about looking cool than functionality.
What happened to the old iBook? It’s the trashBook now, like all machines with 800MHz processors should be. . .

Envy? Ha! We don't need new and shiny gadgets to feel good about ourselves. We have COLD beer to drink and cats for pets! Besides, we have little doubt that the keyboard and screen are already smudged by those CHEEZ-IT® stained fingers.

My 600 MHz eMachines tower with the ancient non-cable ready TV as a monitor is just as good as that fat fuck's wicked-fast, rock-solid, brushed-aluminum laptop that makes the homies say "Ho!" and the girlies want to scream. Windows 3.1x forever, biatch!
I hope somebody reads this, 'cause it took me half an hour to load this page with my 24K modem and dial-up AOL connection.

Well, with Decanus still hanging out on Biaveh and the interstellar shipping rates being what they are, we have put his old clamshell to good use with its 366 MHz of Applefied power pumping out the jams here at the BZ home office.
This, I believe, is better use of an old IBook than trying to program a "trashBook" to dumpster dive!

What is this Apple thing you speak of? Are they making PC's out of rotting fruit now?

Maybe certain Shadowy figures were seen in the vicinity of that fat bastard's dumpster on the day the trash went out. . .
