yay apple!!

So, we ordered a new macbook for my new work-at-home thing. We ordered it Saturday, it hadn't shipped yet. Ok. I get an email today saying Apple has released a new version of the Macbook, and since ours hasn't shipped yet, they will upgrade for free. That's cool.

Then I go online, find out the next step up model now comes standard with all the stuff we ordered for the model lower down we had ordered (more memory, more hard drive space), and with my educational discount, it was cheaper to buy the next model up.

I call to cancel my order, and the very nice Apple guy said I could pick up the new Macbook in a store downtown (he actually called while on the phone with me to see if they had it in stock), but said I would get my educational discount plus an online discount if I cancelled my original order and put in the new one.

Yup. Got a new Macbook, better, faster, with the stuff we had planned to buy separately now included. For cheaper than the original we ordered.

I love days like that!
