Hey everyone, I just thought I'd share my "switch" experience
So yesterday I went to the Apple store in Indianapolis and picked up my firt Mac - a 17" iMac w/Superdrive. I had spoken to someone at the store previously and they told me the would be able to update the memory in-store when I bought it, and with the store being 20 min. away I opted to do that rather than ordering. When I got there I saw that they had a preconfigured 17" that you could purchase that came with 512mb RAM, bluetooth, and wireless keyboard/mouse for I believe $1673. I wasn't really planning on getting the bluetooth, but when ahead and got it because I figured if I ended up needing it later and didn't have it I'd be disappointed. Plus wired keyboards are only $29 now, and I wanted one as a backup 'just in case'.
So I went ahead and got that, while they were getting it in back the saleswoman asked if I was a student, I just graduated a few months ago and I told her that. She asked if I had my student ID on me, of course I did. And she replied "I think we're going to save you some money today". That pretty much made my day.
With discounts I ended up getting the actual computer for $1555, the keyboard was $24, and I purchased and ipod dock which cost $35. I left that store very happy with my purchase, the sales people were great, and I was happy about the student discount.
So here I am, on my new mac, everything was switched over with ease using my ipod as a disk drive.
allison.
