I sell Apple computers, but Apple doesn't pay me. I arrange for school Mac orders, I talk friends, neighbors, and coworkers into buying Macs and iPods, and I even talk other customers into purchases when I'm visiting Apple Stores (sometimes while wearing an Apple T-shirt). Come to think of it, why doesn't Apple pay me?

It's funny how our reviews and recommendations here probably sell more Apple products than many of Apple's own sales people could.
We are also directly responsible for many sales to other manufacturers and suppliers like Crucial, OWC,
Newegg and Dell, just to name a few.
The difference is that we are not bound to Apple's
employee regulations.
We're clearly not on any commission
and we simply have no reason to deliberately give somone bad advice.
Our opinions may vary widely,
but in most cases we work together here to help someone with their buying decision or their support questions.
At one point today there were more than 1,800
people viewing these forums.
My reward, is knowing we helped a few of them.
