Ha ha, you guys are funny.
But yeah, if they were to send me an extra computer, I would call them. If they said, "Uh, yeah we kinda need that back," I would have sent it back, but if they said "No biggie, Merry Christmas," then I'd sell it.
Got a tip for us?

There is no way anybody who receives an extra computer from Apple, or any other company for that matter, should assume he is going to be able to keep it without ultimately being responsible for paying for it. Although a miracle might happen, it's highly unlikely so the safe bet is to contact Apple and arrange for them to pick it up for return. You have no responsibility to pay shipping, or even to go to a FedEx or UPS store, for that matter. Once you contact them the ball is in their court.
Um, this thread has been dead for a while guys... the OP already figured it out. The horse is dead so we can all move along.
but someone above had a question pertaining to the topic. he received a second computer as well. at least they searched and didnt start a new thread
True, but when we have mega threads (like this one), mods prefer that users simply start a new one.
Don't worry. If anything, hopefully the poster who brought this thread back to life found his/her answer.
If and when you become a moderator, I will certainly do whatever you suggest about the topicality of posts. Until and unless that happens, though, it's still up to me. I posted because I thought then and still think now that the recent posts breathed some topicality into the thread. I might add that unsolicited advice about the topicality of the posts of others seems to me to be bad form. Anyway, if you will avoid giving me any more such advice, I will do the same for you.
Lol. A newbie actually took the time to do a search and got flack anyway. Now if we could only get the "when is the new iPhone, iPad, mbp, G5' ect... coming out?" people to do the same
yea, when you keep 1 macbook from a giant company like apple who overprice their laptops, sure they will cry with black tears... come on they don't even care. what's 1 laptop for them? NOTHING. it's not like it happens all the time.
What abut the fact that they want 600euros to repair my old macbook which costed 1000 at the time? (2008). And i also have an iphone, a macbook pro, im a customer. if they treat me in that greedy way, then ill be greedy and keep the macbook if they send me an extra one.
So where is the line between "You should have done a search before posting a new thread" and "This thread is too long, start a new one"? Or is this a damned if you do damned if you don't situation?
After reading the whole thread I would advise you to keep it unless you get charged. Don't sell it to anyone but keep it as a backup to the one you have now. Only sell it if you are in a tight spot with money. Don't sell it just because you can and you can blow the money.
