On Friday my buddy George Dawson bought a new Apple Imac Computer directly from Apple. He wanted one with a 1000 GB hard drive for all his video work which meant he had to special order it. The computer arrived and in one word - beautiful.
Then - the other shoe drops. Apple released a new model today that is faster - bigger - stronger - cheaper. Nothing gets you madder than when you buy a computer and in a couple days it is "obsolete."
At first George thought you could not return special orders and he was willing to accept his fate. But after thinking it over - he called Apple and told them he was not happy. They said "not for long." They offered to send him a new computer and he could return the old one.
This is something to keep in the back of your mind when you buy your next computer. Apple delivers.
One can't appreciate the feeling until it happens to you. I am so proud of George for sticking to his guns.
He called me on the phone and said, "I pulled a harry."
A sweet computer just got a bit sweeter.
