Title: So This Guy In France Won My PowerBook... Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on February 05, 2006, 11:49:08 pm Okay, so I sold my 17" PowerBook on ebay and the winner was a guy in France. So, my question is this: knowing my "love" for the French, would it be wrong of me to install a virus on the PowerBook before I ship it to him? lol
P.S. The dumbass bid more than I paid for the thing brand new![/size] ::lol:: Title: Re: So This Guy In France Won My PowerBook... Post by: BFG on February 06, 2006, 12:12:58 am ... hate to point out you'll struggle to put a virus on your OSX running laptop GS...

... Ps socialism v Capitalism? society v money Considering his recent purchase i think he could do with a lesson on the art of capitalism Title: Re: So This Guy In France Won My PowerBook...

Post by: BFG on February 06, 2006, 12:45:24 am Get a funky screen-saver with a big piggy oinking with two huge money bags in his trotters... so when he opens it up the pig squeals and there is a lil old message about how stupid he has just been.
Then again, a great mac laptop is invaluable ;) Title: Re: So This Guy In France Won My PowerBook... Post by: *DAMN Hazard on February 06, 2006, 04:45:18 am Just make the homepage lemonparty.org and a sticky note that says "you got fucked harder than this old guy on this deal" then all the way at the bottom "frenchie"
That is what I would do Title: Re: So This Guy In France Won My PowerBook... Post by: Macuber on February 06, 2006, 06:20:19 am GS will prolly wind up being on the "Homeland Security Watch List" after shipping a "High Tech" Package through Customs.
Title: Re: So This Guy In France Won My PowerBook... Post by: th.Sentinel on February 06, 2006, 02:12:40 pm Now look it from the French-guy's side, he's prolly telling his friends now:
'Some American's must be very desperate to accept money from a french guy!' ;) Btw, he might have paid more then you paid for the powerbook, but it can still be less then he has to pay in France for it. Since everything is alot more expensive over there. 2.499$ over in the US = 2.074€ in France New PB: 2.599€ in France = 3.131$ in the US He still might have made a big profit buying it from you...

Just out of curiosity, why are things more expensive in France? And a bit off the subject, but why is the unemployment rate so damn high there? Title: Re: So This Guy In France Won My PowerBook...
