Bought my iMac 20" almost 2 years ago at CompUSA because they gave "free" training. I thought that would be nice since I had used a PC for over 20 years.

Only went to one training and it was so basic only an "idiot" would have needed it. My real training came from this forum. I never went back and then CompUSA went out of business.

Next time I buy Apple products I'll order on-line from Apple.

Depends.... if I want to save money.. I use my corp discount. Best Buy has been having this zero interest for 18 months, minimum payments, so it has been a toss up.. basically pay it off in 18 months.. or save myself a few hundred dollars.

I buy all of my apple stuff from the online store. The nearest Apple shop (until my paperwork and such is done) is 2 hours away.
