  Why do they sell at odd prices like 599 instead of 600?

  good grief, the fact that it’s a psychological trick is obvious. amazing how many times the obvious has been restated here. my point is that only the unaware, unthinking person is susceptible to these tricks, and that i express my respect for those who respect me by not engaging in transparent gimmickry.

  omg i did write “week”! that just illustrates the level of devastation spending that kind of money on a notebook can have on the mind and emotion of a proud, self-identified and confirmed cheapskate as far as world peace, you take that assignment, i’d rather work on world freedom. #iranelection
