Black-Eye Friday.
And the joke is on you.
Just about all the 'special' prices are higher than Mac Connection's prices. Apple decided to lower the price to $1 below education prices on most of the items. Higher-end models are still more than education prices. Apple did this just so they can tell me: 'You are wrong. We didn't just lower the prices to education prices like you predicted, but we actually beat them by a dollar.' One stinkin' dollar.
Black-eye Friday, I will call it.
There is a sucker born everyday. Buy from Amazon.com or macconnection.com instead and tell Apple to 'beat it'.
