The Independent Music Conference Needs a New Mac! Help us raise at least $600.

UPDATE! Thanks to the generosity of all our awesome donors, we are only $90 away from getting funded!!!

Here's an example of the Mac you're helping us obtain:

http://tinyurl.com/IMC-Macintosh

Many of you know that I lost my brand new 17" Mac laptop to theft while on a business trip for IMC2010. It was a devastating loss, the thief broke my car window and stole other items as well, many with sentimental value that simply can't be replaced. Since then I have been making do with my older Macs and a small PC laptop. They are not up to the tasks at hand. If I am to prepare properly for TWO IMC events in 2011, i really need a more up to date Mac. I found a site selling G5s for less than $1000, but I'll need at least $600 in order to purchase one. PLEASE HELP, the IMC needs you!
