It's new, and pricy, so probably not what you're looking for, but figured it couldn't hurt to post.
Cliff notes? I tried to make an account but i have to wait for moderator activation.

Yep... pretty much just sounded like the hard drive slammed on the brakes and now it no longer boots. This is the third time in 4 or 5 years that this thing's crapped out a hard drive.
I just need something powerful enough to handle the photo editing and maybe some video editing. I'd like to sell our 3.3 GHz Dell desktop but I doubt anyone would buy it.
Ugh, when it rains it pours, man... 60K service, Bathroom, need new tires, new laptop....i'll be bleeding cash for a few months

I double-clutch every time I downshift, actually. It's fun to do and I do believe that it saves wear on your synchros. There are 3 components whos rotations need match before smoothly going into gear. Input shaft - Synchros - Output shaft.
I still believe that, without double-clutching, you will not ALWAYS match all three. However, I understand the following to be true:
- Double clutching can take more time
- Boffing a double clutch makes you look like Timmy
- Synchros are there so that you don't HAVE to double clutch
- There are plenty of instances were Input - Synchro - Output speeds are close enough anyway that there's no need to double clutch.
And, double clutching makes you feel like a racecar driver!
So, in conclusion, I don't disagree with you (i think?), I do double clutch (I know), and heal toe is a medical procedure.

Great price! Gosh. I am a little leary about gen1 solid state drives. That happens to be pretty far out of my budget. But, overall, a good deal. I has to talk to the boss.
You think it's legit...AKA, I won't get a knock on my door from the police in 6 weeks and get charged with receiving stolen property.
Also, I think I am more interested in a Macbook or MacbookPro with 4 GB ram...we shall see.
I just making a pun at your "heal" toe versus heel toe.

gotcha. that was my understanding. **** THE SYNCHROS i say....I figured if I didn't frag my wrx transmission, then any normal transmission would hold up just fine.
I think I can get a discount on apple stuff through work, but I don't think it's great. I can check though. Do you know anyone in college? An educational discount might be the way to go.....
my brain is fried. i need a vacation. the month of april is going to pwn me so much **** to do and not nearly enough time....
