No, I didn't buy my MacBook Pro yet (but I will soon!!!).
Straight from their site, this is what they're about:
"iBoughtAMac aims to deliver a well rounded collection of information for the Mac user. You've got questions, iBoughtAMac hopes to have the answers."So far, looks like a pretty neat resource for all your Mac needs.
...maybe it's time I learn how to use it.
It's an app launcher that drastically saves you time, but it is also does file actions, such as locate your file, and do this and that to it. It is an intelligent software, meaning that it learns your habits and what you access most often. It is so versatile, probably the reason why I have stayed away from it for so long.
If you are curious about it, I found this really in-depth guide to using Quicksilver. It's compiled for very beginners to advanced users.
I shall be looking into this during the week and see if it finally sticks this time....
Update 06/19/07: It didn't stick... Ughh, it's not really working for me I guess...

A little about Magic (taken from here)...
Formerly known as the Men’s Apparel Guild in California, MAGIC was founded in 1933 as an association of Los Angeles area menswear manufacturers. In 1942, the association, known then as the Men’s Wear Manufacturers of Los Angeles, produced its first show, the Roundup, in Palm Springs. CA. In that same year, the association also began producing Market weeks in Los Angeles. Boyswear was officially added to the shows in 1946.
In 1948, the “Men’s Wear Manufacturers of Los Angeles” voted to change the name of the association and form a corporation. Since the membership had grown to include manufacturers outside Los Angeles, the name was changed to Men’s Apparel Guild in California, hence MAGIC.
The growth of MAGIC mirrored that of the California apparel market and in 1979, MAGIC opened its doors to manufacturers worldwide. Due to enormous growth, the show relocated from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 1989.
In 1995, MAGIC expanded to include women’s apparel with the introduction of WWDMAGIC, a joint venture with Women’s Wear Daily.
In 1997, MAGIC purchased Children’s Trade Expo and launched MAGIC kids. Soon after in 1998 MAGIC International was acquired by Advanstar Communications and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanstar Communications, Inc. (www.advanstar.com)
Today, MAGIC occupies over 1 million square feet of exhibit space each show and attracts over 100,000 attendees from around the world. Buyers and sellers of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel and accessories converge twice a year in Las Vegas for one of the most influential business events in the fashion industry.
Brief: Dark chocolate (min. 72% cacao) filled with lavender cranberry ganache.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma before break: Sherry liqueur, port, grape juice concentrate, red wine, cranberry juice, raspberry, ganache, green bell pepper, arugula leaves, chalk, walnut, powdered sugar, levain bread, raspberry seed, green pepper-corn, salt, caramelized red peppers, tomato sauce.
Aroma at break: Salted pretzels, cherry, marmalade, cranberry, lemonade, polished oak wood, Grand Marnier, blintz, blood orange.
Taste #1: Tart cranberry, warm brown bread, rice starch, green apple, dried cherries, chalk, crushed grapes, after-taste of uncooked pasta, flour.
Taste #2: Blood orange, cranberry, oregano, grape leaves, raspberry seeds, green melon, finish of watermelon rind, potato starch, lavender, thyme, green strawberry, green bell pepper, after-taste of grape skin/seed, vine, pickled cabbage?, sour dough bread.
Overall: At first a very tangy yet creamy bar. Rich and juicy. Like eating fresh tart fruit. Then, deep chocolate surfaces with the breaddy qualities which then develop into a more dry and starchy mouth-feel and flavor towards the finish and after-taste. Lavender only hints into the after-taste for me, upon the second tasting. Perhaps this bar was not at its prime freshness. Lots of green bell pepper for some reason. Enjoyed the alcohol-like qualities of sherry and port.
