Always nice to be reminded the world isn't full of jerks - it's just that they make more noise than the good guys! ;)

I got lots of good stuff, including a new golf set!
The Pro Golf Circuit probably pays better than Indie Deving! More chicks too! ;P
uhh ... that was a low shot

I was ready to go.. all set up.. Until i realized i needed the iPhone SDK...

Yeah, I ran into that problem, too. I had enough money to get iTGB, and then found I'd need a Mac system. I'm 18, so it's not like I have a high paying job which let's me easily afford all that stuff. I ended up going with a refurbished Mac-mini (about $650), and used a kvm switch to connect my PC and Mac together. Then I discovered I'd need to fork over another $100 to join the Apple development program. "You need to spend money to make money" as they say :)

Anyway, hope you get the laptop ;) Can't wait to see your games!

@Matt: Well, I guess it's how you look at it. You can't use the SDK to compile to your device unless you pay the $100 to get the developer's certificate. So, in a way, the free version is kind of like trial software--you can't unlock the meat of it until you pay some money. But, yes, I am definitely glad I didn't have to pay even more money to download it :D

That's great! I wasn't sure how I'd like it, as it (obviously) comes with the Mac OS and I'm a die hard Windows fan. But I found out it's not too bad when you get used to it =D Keep us updated!
