I'll try to head over to the store today.

I have a 12" G4 iBook, the wife has a 512MB Shuffle.

Maybe some software? Or a protective sleeve/bag for the iBook?

I really wish they sold shirts, mugs, etc. there!

Chris

p.s. Corrected title. ;-)

I read that as "I got a $50 Apple Store Girlfriend" it was amusing to me.

I would look at a music store card. If you don't have one, you're $30 away from an airport card.
A piece of software is good. New iLife? iWork?

Oh! How about Quicktime Pro? That's useful.

Mighty Mouse, iTunes Store Card or an iBook case.


I read it as Apple Store Girlfriend too.
Is $50 cheap or is it the going rate these days? What do you get for your $50?

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

$50 is a nice gift... I would look at some software or the case. It could also be on the way to a nice scanner or iPod...

I had fun at the IHateApple.com a couple years ago. It used to post the User Agent when you put up a message, so I used iCab and put in a custom User Agent with a JavaScript.

Whenever you clicked on the link to the forum, it'd just close your browser window. My favorite was a JS I downlaoded that made the browserwindow jiggle. It was funny. So when you went to the forum your browser window just kept jiggling all over the place. If you had a crappy video card, it'd sometimes crash a computer. If you relied on your mouse too much, good luck clicking on the close box.

Before they changed it, it was pretty fun. Other people started putting funny stuff like popups to **********

OK so this thread is so far past derailed that the light from derailed takes a billion years to get here, but anyway, a $50 voucher, I think I'd get a MIghty Mouse and a dollar change.

Hmm..a G4 iBook...well, that's not really enough for Star Wars Battlefront, but it's a kickin' game anyway. I'd think about that. Then you'd have it for when (or if) you get a beefier machine.
