Too bad I just bought a 12″ PowerBook on edu discount THREE DAYS PRIOR to May 2nd. Curses for wanting Tiger on the day of release!
First Post.
eat poop triumph!
Wow thats nice deal, you could get the 20″ iMac for $1599
20-inch widescreen LCD
2GHz PowerPC G5
667MHz frontside bus
512K L2 cache
512MB DDR400 SDRAM
250GB Serial ATA hard drive
Slot-load 8x SuperDrive (double-layer)
ATI Radeon 9600
128MB DDR video memory
56k internal modem
What if I ordered it on April 30th from the online store, it was shipped on May 2nd, but received it on May 4th? This order AND take possession business is a little unclear. Anyway, I love my new powerbook 15″ either way and this would only be icing on the cake!
Peeved….. I feel your pain, my wife and I each upgraded to Powerbooks a week and 3 days before respectively. I called Apple and they said it’s a no go… worth a try though.
Seems to be for higher ed only.
Poop it is
Guys, the “real” Triumph no longer posts here. Too many unfunny imitations by juvenile 14 year olds. He left for greener pastures, e.g. appleswitcher.com and the like.
I look forward to him perhaps occasionally contributing here under rotating nom’s de plume.
Freaking awesome. I just picked up a non-refurbished 1.8 GHz superdrive iMac from the special deals page for $999; as I understand the terms of the rebate that counts, so the price is effectively $899. This is an incredible deal.
Silver lining to the eight-week wait for my rebate check: I used a credit card with rewards points, so I get points for money I didn’t actually spend! Happy birthday to me.
