Well I sold my MacPro and it will be shipping out to his new owner in a day or so.

I hate to see the beast go, and while I have a MBP that's up to the task it is slower then a MacPro.

Being that I just bought a new truck last month, the monthly payments will be kicking in and on top of that I'm facing private school tuition for the kids. I need to get my finances in a little better shape, i.e., reduce my credit card debt

I'll reserve today for my pity party.

Maybe you could use the money you made to get some new speaker cables (Pear Cable Audio Cables - Home Audio - Anjou Speaker Cable). Then, your music will sound so good that you won't miss your Mac.

I thought that this thread was about a girl/boyfriend leaving. I forgot what forum I was in.

On Topic...

I'm sorry that you had to give up your Mac Pro. I'm a laptop guy, myself, but the Mac Pro at work just zips through the video work we do.

It is sad selling an old Mac that you've been using for a while, even if you have the new one already.
I sold my old 15" PowerBook and 17" iMac G5 so I could upgrade to a 17" PowerBook. I was sad when I shipped off the PowerBook.

huh

What does selling computer have to do with cables? Besides, I didn't sell it to buy other junk but pay down my credit card.

[peeb]

Well done for taking a sensible step to reduce your debt load.

[MacosNerd]

Thanks,

I'm not sure if this makes sense. Its not that I regret the action or my decision - I don't but I am dismayed that I sold such a great machine.

We had some un-avoidable expenses that put our credit card under duress and knowing that things don't get cheaper I figured it will be easier to reduce my debt now then later.

I was really just looking for an excuse to link to those unbelievably expensive cables.

I don’t mean to pee on your pity parade, but my MacPro just arrived today. First post from it, this is

I will, however, be selling and sending off my trusty old PowerBook in the near future, and that will be a sad parting, too, so I know (or I will know) how you feel.

[Rumor]

Did you ever consider selling one of the kids? I'm pretty sure you would get more for one of them compared to a MacPro. You could even part them out and make at least triple.

I did, but for some reason eBay frowns on selling kids - not sure why

Dammit, and here I was, counting on you not to notice this particular thread! All right, my secret’s out!

It doesn't bother you going from portable to extremely nonportable?

[Oisín]

Nope. I'm going from semi-portable (17" PB) to very portable (13" MB) for school work; and from semi-small (17" PB) to big 'n powerful (MP with 22" screen) for heavier at-home work.
