I know you want an Mac but have you considered buying a laptop from Wal-Mart? They have a Acer brand I believe running under $400 to $500. Acer makes good products and for a student I think it will fit most if not all of your needs. I know it's not a Mac but unless you are doing heavy graphics or video production I don't think you'll miss the difference. (And by the way, if you have an Ipod it'll work on Windows so don't worry about that either.)

I checked my trans union fico score yesterday it was 732. the other two i last checked last month and they're both in the 700's as well. i have a credit card with capital one, my limit is only $500. i called the number they have listed in their site for CLI's, but it was an automated thing and just said no. eh, whatever? anyway, i really need a computer for school, im a college student. i'm going to buy with apple. that's why I want a CLI. I figured i'd try to get the Juniper iTunes credit card that's linked with apple, thinking that i'd have a chance of getting approved for more than a couple hundred bucks. cause that doesn't help me buy a computer. And well, I applied on the apple site and i was instantly approved for the juniper card with an initial purchase limit of about $500 bucks (to buy something that second on the site, but i didn't. i just chose to have my card mailed to me and not buy anything right then). And they're mailing me my card and stuff. i'm not employed or anything, just a part-time student and I got approved so that's great and all, but that still doesn't get me a 1k-2k computer. Soo..does anybody else have this card? How long after you first get the card do they give CLI's, etc? Hmm, or maybe i should go to my credit union to get a loan to buy a computer, think i'll have better luck with that? idk, i'm not employed, just a student.oh and well my parents can't do anything for me, before anyone brings that up, cuz they're in bankruptcy.

I miss my Mac...
Lightning traveled through the cable (not the house wiring) and cooked the Mac's internet connectivity. I needed a laptop and couldn't afford a Powerbook... Sorry to go OT (again). No eligibility with USAA, then? Even if your parents think they never were with them, they might have once had car insurance or something. It might be worth a call.

I just think it's pretty self-evident that declaring bankruptcy is a sign that one could have made better decisions with money and credit in the past.
Not to this self, it isn't!A considerable number of BKs in the USA are directly related to the fact that we have the 36th best Health Care system in the world (up from 37th!!) It is a crime,
I wouldn't blame the Health care system! Our health care is not the problem, maybe it is because Americans are unhealthy by their own doing most of the time!!
