What is this money going to? Well...

I still have money put aside to upgrade the software on ehMac. This will be happening soon. (I'm waiting for Infopop to come up with one more update and then for the free time to do it)

This money is actually in support of me the Mayor and a special purchase I hope to be making soon. Here's the background sob story...

I used to be really in shape. Was even the Athlete of the Year in my senior year. After 10 years of marriage, 3 kids and a lot of time on my Mac, I've developed some serious Molson Muscle. I need to get in shape.

So... I've decided to get a mountain bike. I'm going to be buying one from a Canadian company in Vancouver! The Rocky Mountain Elevation bike.

Decent bikes aren't too cheap, so I could really use the financial help. When I get good enough, I'd actually like to get into racing so I will proudly put an ehMac sticker on the bike and ehMac will be my official sponsor!

(I'll be sure to post before and after pictures of my Molson Muscle as well)

Thanks to everyone for your help!

Do we or will we have an Ebay item number.....

 

[minnes]

I have the distinction of being the first bidder on the Powerbook and the iMac.
After the auction will you tell us the surprise, that mounted Os9 display is pretty nice as it is, it would look pretty cool in my museum of neat and strange stuff.
I hope it helps to raise lots of dough for you and ehMac
Mark

see it here and bid away</a>

 

[ehMax]

Hey, we've got our first bid already at $1!!! Do I hear $5!

Item # is 3410400704. But when you go to eBay.ca, please use the link at the top. This link will give ehMac a few bucks as well when you register or win an auction.

Please keep in mind, the winning bidder does buy the iMac!

 

[ehMax]

Holy Cow! In 5 minutes we have 4 bids and we're up to $25 already! Yee haa!

 

[jrtech]

$5.00 just ain't going to cut it, me thinks minnes has put a little hedge bid in. Might be time to flash up the PC and use the old Cricket Jr sniper.

 

[jrtech]

It is for a good cause with the Molson Muscle reduction and all.........

ehMax,

That bike's one heck of a good choice -- glad you found the right one amonst a pool of choices. One last thought on the bike -- if you get it with the pictured fork: You probably know/have found out already, that the air fork will require a special fine-tunable pump. Don't know/think it's included. How much is the bike gonna set you back in cash -- get a good deal? What it cost won't even matter after awhile -- health.

Have fun!

MacSpectrum is leading the pack presently. The race is on!!!

I put it a bid but MacSpectrum's highest bid is too rich for my blood. . . for now.

 

[minnes]

MacSpectrum
\You must have a place picked out for the Os9 statue already. ehMax, where did you get that item from, an Apple dealer?

 

[ehMax]

Wow, after getting a bit of sleep last night, I wake up to 11 bids and we're up to $202! That's awesome.

Hey Tomac... Yeah, I really like the bike! I didn't know about the air-pump thing. Hope that's not too exensive. That bike is $1369 Cdn before things like helmet etc... I haven't haggled on price but since I've been bothering the folks at the bike shop so much I don't think I will haggle too much. Just as long as they throw something in to make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Should be fun next Sunday, I'm going to watch a cross country bike race.

Hey Minnes, I was just in Hamilton yesterday for the big run that they had. I didn't run, but I watched my two sisters run. Really neat to see so many runners! I said to myself that next year I'm going to do the 30k. (I plan to be in great shape after all the biking I'm going to do)

 

[oryxbiker]

Don't forget ehmax, a good pump for that air fork will run you back between $100-$150. But look out for deals and the local bike shops, you can usually get them on sale, but they still ain't cheap!!

Just thought I would raise the bar a bit. After all, it is for a good cause. The future health of our mayor. Well, physical health anyways.

I'm glad to see the bidding at a level that is more appropriate for this type of item and cause.

 

[Chealion]

$340?!?
I have 340 pennies... and thats it... Its out of my league But best luck to the winner, I just wish that I had a job and then I'd have my own little iMac to do SETI on!

 

[Cynical Critic]

My old Bondi blue iMac used to run SETI. Oh the memories. *queue nostalgic music*

 

[ehMax]

I'm going home from work now... Sure would be nice to get home and see a couple more bids!

 

[RicktheChemist]

How about if I win the million on friday.. I pay 10gs for this puppy... deal?

Cheers,

RtC

 

[ehMax]

Ooo yeah! I could get a sweet bike with that!
