I nodded to all the suggestions, until I reached number 10! Is that what you call 'rescheduling finances' to get hold of a Macbook Pro?

If you get it in one go, all will be lost because Panther will still not be out and new 'Merom' chip will still not be in a MacBook Pro. :-)

Actually, no 10 is supposed to be a compromise. If you get 2 months in one go, prices of goods will go up a lot. It's hard to get it down. If you get it in instalments, prices will still go up but by a smaller margin. It will also not go down. You choose.

Anyway, I only got a C (...I think) in my Economic so don't take my word. :-)
