A Bulletin Board from the backside of the internet

I'm still holding out for Solene to maybe come up with something different... something that more resembles the "old computer" spirit. But we'll see...

Oh man this sucks! My initial thought was also bad RAM, but if you get new RAM and that isn't it, that's doubly annoying. The 2007 Macbook Pro was the one before the unibody, right? These are also very good looking machines, and 20 bucks (in which currency btw?) sounds like a good price! I have a 20...
