I think you should have sent it to me.

Ever read The $95,093.35 Check? This guy received a junk check and deposited it... and it cleared! Your tale reminded me of this story... both of you got something that you didn't really deserve, and you both did the right thing (eventually, in his case), without even a word of thanks from those not third parties.

I'm afraid I would've happily kept the machine! (Actually, without even being afraid! )

But I respect your honesty (my sister's single at the moment, do you want her number?)

Uoba good one man. Made me laugh lol. And as for Salvo, your 100 percent right. And I'm not even upset about it, I really didn't care if i did or did not got any graditude from apple. I just wanted to see what the reactions would be on this site. Amazing though, that this don't normally happen, yet it happened to me. I'm new to mac and this is my first mac and this happened. I must say though, that after witnessing the performace of the g5, I was impressed and did thought about keeping it. However I knew instinctively from the start I had to do the right thing and return it .

I would have kept it too, I mean sure i like your honesty, but they didn't even say thanks, offer some free software, ipod or anything, thats not cool considering what you did. But what goes around comes around, so you did do the right thing, regardless how hard it was.

Well, I hope Apple will respond in some or other way. It's a fun story, anyway. If you want to propagate it, write me a mail for macnews.net.tc. ;-)

Guess I would have waited a while and would have had to think about it. Can't say what I'd have done in the end... The situation is too tempting, I guess... But Karma or not: Apple _should_ do something for you. An iPod would certainly be nice. But it could basically be anything... Software (almost free for them, really...), wireless keyboard... AirPort upgrade or whatever wasn't included in your order...
