Apple is something else, and its infectious to the followers, as I have read in some of the postings on here. For example: The post where someone was looking for an apple hardware discount asset,.... yes, they wanted to see if anyone had an unused asset, they just did not go about asking in a clear and appropriate manner, yes agreed. But so many chimed in to scold the OP and demand he purchase his own membership, or they'd sell him one (asset) for $350. If someone had an extra, then why let it go to waste? Youre all worse than Gates and sound just as greedy and money hungry instead of making an effort to help another person out.
And for the ignorant who asked "how did you purchase it without the asset in the first place", YOU CAN. the order will go through, and you will receive an email stating that you must submit your asset before the product is built and sent out. Also, one program level allows more than one asset as well, so those who whined about giving up their one and only asset allowed by apple for life, should learn the facts b4 trying to make such a dramatic statement.
I believe the limit on the premier is 10 assets.
There WAS a time when fellow Mac users were like a big family and would help each other out in many aspects of this now cold blooded industry.
Believe me, I am quite aware just how "robotic" apple employees are now-a-days, its like a bunch of brainwashed nazis bought out the company and give NO BREAKS TO ANY-VUN!! Sieg Heil!!! I know some personally, and have done so much for them and helped them out and gave them breaks on a friendship level as is customary in a true friendship, and they offer NUH-SINGK in return when it comes to their precious fruit. Its sad and pathetic, but true. So after being a Mac follower from the beginning, I just spend my time and money on an HP with twice the bells and whistles, AND BLURAY HD etc., for less than a base mac pro.
