Amazon Offers Discounted Mac OS X 10.2
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?"
These forums are not about gaining karma. These forums are about speaking the truth, opening an informed dialogue and not shying away from contentious issues.
Obviously, your only intent is to preserve your precious karma. You only say what you know will be popular. The consummate politician. Your posts are popular but are filled with nothing but populist drivel. You have never taken a stand for anything you believe in. You only parrot the party line.
Spineless.
Whoa, dude! My Karma is, like, "Excellent"!
We don't care.
This is a discussion, not a popularity contest.
Karma does not get you elected.
Your focus on karma at the expense of the discussion is sad.
You own a Mac.
I own 180 Macs.
Their cost is non-trivial.
Their performance is substandard.
Their OS is the best on the market.
You are likely to be content with your mac's performance.
I could care less.
Apple will not get another dime from me untill their harware is held to the standard their OS is.
Even Steve Jobs prefers the performance of x86 over PowerPC. Pixar uses x86 linux clusters.
Shut the Fuck up.
If voting were effective, it would be illegal by now.
