just thought i would share this painful experience with you all...
so my mom's extremely wealthy friend was thinking of buying an apple for video-chatting with her grand-kids, and needed some help from me to pick it out. so we all go to the apple store, and i start to tell her some of the pros and cons of each model. so she decides she wants a macbook for herself (just for video-chatting, she doesnt know how to do anything/ want to do anything else), a 20 inch iMac for her 4 year old grandson, a macbook pro for her aging father, a macbook for her 7 year old grandson and another macbook pro for her husband, and an ipod for everyone. So we go up to an apple employee and start placing our order, and the guy comes back with 2 other guys to help carry everything out and load it into my car. So im sittin in my car, just staring at the freakin stack of computers. I've been dying for a macbook pro and my stupid ipod mini is gettin pretty obselete. This woman was not going to be using the computer for anything other than video chatting. nothing. not safari, not music, not photos, nothing. so when we got back we transferred them into her car and she drove off. a whole ocean and not a drop to drink!!!! u guys know how hard this was for me. painfullllly hard!

Wow.

Apple should send you a check, though. They owe you a commission.
