LOL... unbelievable is more like it. You tell some good stories bblove600rr. What exactly were these configurations and lots of upgrades?
That's actually a logical fallacy. Just because you can't be proven wrong, doesn't mean you are right.
For example, by your argument, if I can't prove that the sun will rise tomorrow, then it won't.

Extra memory although we already have memory awaiting installation... she was trying to upgrade the drives, but we opted for other upgrades since we have enough drives... so she added a brand new 23" cinema, the 1900 ati graphics card, and an extra superdrive.
You can believe it or not. I'm not here to gloat or tell a tall tale. I'm simply here to make sure I'm taken care of... the point of my post, as I told the other guy, was to make sure I did as much as I could to ensure that... if it helps others to be cautious as well, then that's just an added benefit.
TRUE THAT!
Bad choice of words on my part!
But unfortunately (or fortunately as the case came to be), I was correct.Thanks to everyone who helped out and gave tips on this thread... thankfully the shoe fit and the story had a happily ever after...

I personally own 40 grand worth of high end Mac computer systems and that's just one spectrum of my toys collection.
1. Your story sounds unbelievable based on many different reasons. You went to the Apple store and they gave you a wrong box.. you go back with receipt in hand and say hey I got the wrong computer from you guys. They then give you an 8 core box.. there is no configuring a dual core system into a dual quad core system by Apple. They are separate boxes built differently.
2. For the price you paid how would the manager not know that you got the wrong computer?
Once again there is no configuring of processors. They are separate boxes built at the factory. 8 core boxes are shipped directly from China to the Apple Store or for Apple store online orders. So I have no idea what you mean by they are swapping out and throwing in extras for it. Did you mean they swapped out the processors????? LOL. Did you mean to say they gave you the wrong order?
You crack me up.
But here goes a response since you can't seem to bow out... and I'm always one to go until I just can't take it anymore...
You're not jealous of my new toy, nor is that what I was implying... I'm not blind... I see your signature and how you like to announce to the world how full of "toys" you actually are... but can you actually say you got thrown a couple grand worth of toys for a huge mistake made by Apple? If so, then great, kudos to you too, we're both in the same boat... if not, then yeah... you're hatin...
I was going to start responding to your 1's and 2's when I realized all the responses are well within the rest of my posts.

So have they finished swapping out the processors, interior components and motherboard to make your "incorrectly configured" dual core box an 8 core yet?
I don't believe he ever said that they were "swapping out the processors, interior components and motherboard" nor did he say they were doing anything at the store. He did say that Corporate was involved. The problem seems to be that they went to the Apple store, told them what they wanted and the store had a box the configuration sticker said matched the specs they were looking for. Said box was probably improperly input into the system somewhere in China where the packaging is labeled and shipped to the store in the US. That the machine appeared to have been used also points to other problems. Doesn't seem far fetched or outta' line to me.........
I agree it's possible (and with all the outsourcing done nowadays, it's very possible), but I think people just have trouble believing in the price he pay for the system...
