We've debated the bundles a lot on here back and forth. While I've been against it for a long time, I think I'm about to break down and buy the mac bundle now, because I really like the idea of their free loaner laptops and in-the-law-school service if you buy the bundle. It costs slightly more, but the peace of mind should be worth it.crazyinalabama wrote:It's hopeless...every time I think I will take the time to catch up on TLS, you people have gone and messaged 10 more pages! It looks like all I've missed is a mindless discussion between a gunner/troll about what can be categorized as a "bump" versus an assault and perhaps the iphone and new mac.
Here is my question/thoughts about buying a new mac from apple: I'm trying to decide whether to buy the mac bundle from UVA or purchase my own mac next year; has anyone considered that even if you buy apple care for 3 years the closest apple store is in Richmond? This concerns me only because I know that if I don't buy my computer from UVA my current (or future one) will die during exams week and I won't have a computer...thoughts? Is this a serious concern or did I somehow overlook a new apple store coming to Charlottesville?
If this has already been discussed, ignore me since I have fallen behind on the board...damn summer and the good weather that keeps me outdoors!

Re: UVA Class of 2012
With the new lineup (13" Macbook), I think several of us agreed that buying from Apple was the better deal even including Apple Care, especially given their usual back to school promotions of free ipods.crazyinalabama wrote:It's hopeless...every time I think I will take the time to catch up on TLS, you people have gone and messaged 10 more pages!

Richmond is really not that far, so if you did have to take it in I don't think it would be a big deal. Apple has really great customer service. Also, if you aren't a Mac owner, remember that Macs don't have problems all the time like PCs. I have had this one for several years with no issues yet.

Re: UVA Class of 2012
As someone else said many pages ago, it looks like the school promotion free ipod deal is also available if you get the mac from the school.limegreen wrote:

I would still buy from Apple, but I'm weird so don't go by me.

I'm trying to track it down.

It was kgustao and starts on page 140. At least, I think that's what was under discussion.iamjikem wrote:crazyinalabama wrote:It's hopeless...every time I think I will take the time to catch up on TLS, you people have gone and messaged 10 more pages!

No, it was the argument about Marcus Epstein and whether he bumped a girl or assaulted her with a karate chop.

Re: UVA Class of 2012
For anyone of the class of 2011 (or I suppose any twelvers), does anyone plan on taking any kind of classes with the university unrelated to law? for example, language classes?

Re: UVA Class of 2012
+1 This is a great question. I read somewhere that up to 12 hours of other classes can count towards your J.D. I've been wondering if anyone did that.napolnic wrote:For anyone of the class of 2011 (or I suppose any twelvers), does anyone plan on taking any kind of classes with the university unrelated to law? for example, language classes?

I really would like to take some language classes if at all possible...I was an International Studies major and would like to not get rusty. Anyone know about this?

That's what I was wondering about. I'm not sure if it's feasible/advisable to do it 1L, at least first semester, but beyond that, I'm not sure.hokie09 wrote:I really would like to take some language classes if at all possible...I was an International Studies major and would like to not get rusty.
