I was all getting ready to bid until he mentioned it came with a Creed CD. No sale.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone would end up with a Creed CD to have to get rid of it. It just doesn't make sense. Did Alexis or Steve pay money for it? Was it thrown through their window by Diggers in retaliation for building a better social news site? Was it left behind in the apartment they rented in SF? Did Scott Stapp seduce Alexis and leave it on the nightstand in the morning? So many unanswered questions.

Creed sucks so bad that burning one of their cd's wouldn't be cool. Not even for charity.

"It's like a Web 2.0 startup kit!" Yeah, that plus YC funding.

It's awesome that they're giving the proceeds to charity.

I predict that the laptops will sell for > $10k. (4 days, 18 hours until the end of the auction)

I think that'd be a pretty safe bet.

Edit: I'm leaving my original comment for posterity but I misread the parent post. (Whoops: ">" != "<")

A 12" laptop? I'm guessing the "business" guy had that one.

I know hackers that use those, they usually have multiple workspaces with monitors setup.

I hack on a 12" iBook G4.

With a 17" external monitor attached when possible ;)

I just got one of the Dell ones with Ubuntu preinstalled, and am pretty happy. Cheap, not fancy, but pretty fast and seems like a nice workhorse.

The Dells are alright as long as you stick with the business line, build quality is much better than the consumer line.
