Whoever, ever, ever heard of such a thing.
Congratulations, you have been selected for the July NY LAPTOP Lottery!
So I'm psyched, doing my ghetto girl dance. I rarely win anything, and the odds that i would win this, well I wasn't too hopeful. I look at the timeframe that I have to pay the $70 -- hmmm looks like I need to do this immediately. Wait, do I have $70?
Yes, of course I do. What are the minimum laptop requirements:
512 MB of RAM
• 100 MB free hard drive space
• Internet access for laptop (for purposes of downloading software, receiving e-mail regarding laptop testing, uploading qualification exams, and uploading Essay and MPT Answers)
• Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework
• Microsoft Windows Operating Systems XP or Vista (Software Secure does not support Non-North American Versions)
• Functioning USB Port
• Functioning CD drive
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
• No APPLE / POWER PC /MACINTOSH (in any form, even if it runs Windows)
• No Mini-PCs
Are you serious??? Everyone who is anyone uses a Mac these days, it's 2007 not 1997! What do THEY have against Macs? They're explicit too. Would it have hurt to find a software company that developed software suitable for both PC and MAC. duh!!! Alas, I'm not so lucky after all. **tear**
This is important because I have taken all notes and law school exams on laptops and I type way faster than I think (hence the errors in my blog, but who's proofreading anyway?). The one time that I didn't use my laptop was b/c I mistakenly forgot to pack my power cord. And let's just say I was riding the curve that day. I've got to figure something out and fast because I have to take a mock test on the laptop that I play to use by June 18th!!!
Do I have a cause of action?

Yeah - seriously.. discriminating against Macs/Users should be some sort of crime!!
and, about the MM grammar ridiculousness, honestly, there are times when I have to take a deep breath and reassure myself that I *am* learning the RIGHT law b/c occasionally I have my doubts.....
Sometimes its just comforting to know that you aren't alone. Thanks Irrational Basis. : )
