I win! One to nothin'! (Well, so maybe it's a draw)

I wrote earlier about my problem with Apple and their very nearly ripping me off and I have since made progress in my fight for justice. I am typing this here blog post on my beautiful new MacBook Pro. Currently, I am brimming with joy because Apple happily took back my Powerbook G4 and refunded me my money....nearly 6 months after I purchased it.

I also said earlier that this was Apple's chance to redeem themselves from their previous behavior. I was almost ready to bow down and worship at their iAltar, until, two days after I ordered my MacBook Pro, Apple went ahead and put on a promotion wherein one gets a free iPod Nano (after rebate) with the purchase of a new Mac. The unfortunate catch (there really always is a catch) is that the Mac had to be purchased after June 5th. I bought mine on the 3rd.


Sigh....I guess I'll have to wait on that iPod. Damn you, Jobs!

  • so, new plan... any time you decide you're going to purchase an apple product, wait 5 days before you do it. Oh, and also read the buyer's guides.
