Hi All
I planned on buying a Mac Mini with 1gb as I had been able to get my hands on a new apple cinema screen, the latest silver cased version very cheaply. Then I contacted Apple to be told there was a delay on my order and that they could not confirm Xmas shipping of my mini. I did order this some 10 days ago but never mind.......
I sat and thought about it so i thought sod it i'll not get the screen and instead grab myself a Imac only to then be told by the abrasive irish fella on the Apple order line that he can't do me any upgrades on them either, we cannot get the memory chips for them, then he told me not to get it on 6 months interest free as i will loose my place in the queue and finally told me that unless i gave him my visa details there and then i would not be getting an Imac this side of Chrimbo. I felt quite threanted by this guy and he even made a comment about my financial position and why did i need credit- i mean what a cheek!
Now i guess this was an isolated case as in the past few times i have contacted Apple they were great but this guy really put me off. In the end i decided to go and get an Imac from a local Apple reseller with 12 months interest free and they even threw in a 1gb upgrade as i had explained to them what happened.
I mean it is one thing to honest but this guy was ****ed pushy.....oh well from a mini mac to imac in 1 easy phone call!
