That sucks
\/\/ickes. Hang in there, you'll be able to get what you want eventually. Good things come to those who blah, blah and all that BS.
I know you're going to hate me but I just picked up a 12" iBook from my local Apple Store a couple of days ago and it's really nice.
The good news is that once you can afford one, it'll be better and faster than mine because I'm sure updates are right around the corner.
Buck up my friend! You're young. You'll one day probably get a great job that'll allow you to buy fun things from Apple.
