If op has no use for it. I've been wanting to give this macbook away to someone who's in dire need (e.g. broken, stolen, etc.) and is unable to buy a new one due to not having any money. If that's you, or anyone for that matter, I'll be happy to send it your way.

You can send it his way, I`m in no need of a new computer. I think whoever accepts my offer will have some equipment to work on.

to be true a computer would be very nice, my last macbook broke down completely 1 year ago, and ive got only this very old amd pc right now. I'm not an expert of ruby on rails in any way, im still learning to become a developer. If you need any more details please send me an email to xelnyq[at]gmail. thanks

You could try to use a website like vworker for finding programming jobs. I use vworker (formerly rentacoder) since 2006, I work only on my spare time on the site (less than 2 hours a day, sometimes even less) and I have a steady revenue from this of about 2k per month.

All you need is knowledge,determination and a good internet connection. It won't be easy to start, my first "job" was a two weeks project for ... 5$. Once you will have a good history on a site like that (I've heard odesk is also a decent choice) you could theoretically charge as you want per hour.

Hah, I remember your name from some Ruby game dev! I am doing Ruby freelancing from somewhere in Taiwan now. Best of luck :)

Congratulations on your new job !

Don't take the down votes on your new account too hard. Generally the HN-crowd prefers that people comment on posts which they've actually read, is all.

(can you finish a sentence with ", is all" like that?)

Do you consider Indonesia as an option? There's a high demand of ruby programmers in Indonesia right now.

Just to check, are you aware that you need to pay $99/year to actually put stuff that you've made onto an iDevice?

It's a lot cheaper than a Macbook, so I'm not saying you're not worthy or anything. It would just be a shame if you get a mac and can't use it for what you intended.
