I don't know if I'm getting a Dutch or French (most probably in Belgium situation) G4 733 PowerMac or if I have lost my money(8,68 EUR). In a few days my first two books(multimedia and hardware) are at home frome the university.
Thanks,
Hervé

I didn't go so far as to order, just to 'in Caddie Toevoegen'. However, I got:

I don't speak dutch, but I didn't want to go throught the french interface, to duplicate your conditions as near as possible. So, I guess it remains to see how much they actually charge your credit card, but it seems in its way harmonious that you should be getting a Mac for Eur 8.68, and not nothing for Eur 8.68.

The next question is, if the former happens, do you keep the Mac? What if you get nothing for Eur 8.68? Who has taken advantage of whom in that case?

I think I'll stop reading philosophy papers and go to bed now...

What would you find of this? One person will receive for a little amount of money a computer while you have to pay for it. Giving money and getting nothing is also not a nice solution. The exciting thought about something like this is what happened next. Not much, but a surprice. Give me also a little bit credit because I wanted reviewing the cube for this site and so it completely different happened.

It is clear if you read my contract that I have done nothing wrong. The shop is finding a new way to make money and seeing this in this way they must sell me the computer for this money.

I don't wait for these motherfuckers to go to the university and to get my books and paying for the train to go working. I haven't ordened a wc but a mac!

by wc, do you mean toilet? I sure would be disappointed if I ordered a mac, but got a toilet instead, even a nice one.

Of course, I don't think you've done anything wrong. If they did send you the computer for Eur 8,68 and you did not volunteer to pay the real price, would you have done wrong? Legally, that would be alright, but ethically, it is a more difficult question. Perhaps it depends on the sort of people who run the store...

Anyway, I think you deserve a free mac - it would be true to karma.
