Amazon Offers Discounted Mac OS X 10.2

Posted by pudge on from the get-the-point-ha-ha-you-funny dept.

WCityMike writes "Apple's decision to offer no upgrade fee to existing Mac OS X users caused a great deal of unrest amidst Macintosh users, but Amazon may have made the argument a bit moot by offering a $50 mail-in rebate, thus bringing the price down to $79 for all users. Check out their listing for 10.2, or the mail-in rebate form. I wonder if, when Apple notices all its orders are coming in through Amazon, they'll get the point?"

    And how much have they charged for their point releases

    XP Professional, the latest point release of Windows 2000, is a $199 "upgrade."

    "I have '555-1212' as your current phone number. Is that right?"

    "Oh no, I have a new number. Eight-sixty-seven, fifty-three, oh-nine."

    An aside: I was at Sam's Club the other day and was told that I had to get an updated membership card. When the girl was doublechecking my info, she asked, "I have '555-1212' as your current phone number. Is that right?" I said yes and she just continued on. I'm debating on whether she knew what the number was or not.

    She probably was wondering how you get any rest with the phone ringing so often.
