cents don't really count...besides, it's the thought that matters

Thanks for ruining it.
why choose that repeating digit and not 555.55? or 777.77?
BROKE AUTOMARGE
[QUOTE=Armyis1337;19870387]cents don't really count...besides, it's the thought that matters[/QUOTE]
If cents doesn't matter then it was sold for $667.
Yup, this proves [b]they're[/b] evil. A+ thread.

555.55 is was too little and 777.77 was too much.

it's a conspiracy i tell you!
Doesn't Wozniak have cancer. He's the cool guy, Steve is the douche.
Now Macs only cost $2,500! How far we've come!
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;19870460]Doesn't Wozniak have cancer. He's the cool guy, Steve is the douche.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, he's a pretty cool guy. He also screwed Steve Jobs by telling everyone that he [Jobs] doesn't use a Mac because he thinks they are too crappy for him.

Pretty sure it was Gate's company partner that had cancer, and eventually passed away.
The scary thing is that they could really get away with this.

The Apple logo just kinda looks like a six. See?

Steve Jobs has Pancreas cancer. Gate's partner has something, cancer maybe. But he isn't dead.
i hope steve jobs dies thatt would be really sleek and innovative
But if Steve Jobs dies, who will market and make the newest and latest in over priced hipster music and computer trends?!
[QUOTE](Wozniak later said he had no idea about the correlation between the number and the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast"]mark of the beast[/URL], and "I came up with [it] because I like repeating digits."[/QUOTE]
...sure you didn't Wozniak...
BUT, if Wikipedia itself makes a correlation to the number 666, then it must be true!

I'm a macfag and I agree with your post. I got a macbook and a pc. I go on my computer to play all my games, I go on my macbook to browse the net and such. I prefer my mac as I think it looks nicer (mind you I haven't used vista or 7) and I hate idiots that start windows vs mac wars.
not my intentions at all. just noting that gaming on a mac can be a pain in the ass with the different format and all. but i agree, aesthetically, macs have a slight edge.

Of course, silly, how the fuck would you play a game with an apple?
[QUOTE=ilolled;19872493]Of course, silly, how the fuck would you play a game with an apple?[/QUOTE]
you could always toss it back and forth with a friend, and see who's toss breaks the apple first.
