| FREE DUAL POWERMAC G5 1.8ghz!!!! I Ordered a single processor PowerMac g5 at 1.8ghz. This however was delayed because of the upgrade of the 1.8ghz model to a dual 1.8ghz. I got the dual 1.8ghz upgrade for the price of the single processor 1.8ghz, However when it was sceduale to arrive, it came a few days earlier ( It arrived saturday nov 29th as oppose to tuesday dec 2nd when it was suppose to arrive ). So I set it up, everything worked well and on tuesday fed ex told me they have another g5 for me. I tryed to refuse it by saying i already got it, but they said they have a package and it must be deliver. So i accepted it then called apple(weds nov3rd 9:00 pm eastern), and found out i was only billed for 1 powermac g5. THEY SOME HOW DUPLICATED MY EXACT ORDER AND SHIPPED IT TO ME WITHOUT BILLING ME FOR IT. EVERYTHING I CUSTOMIZE, THE EXACT SAME WAY, THE EXACT COMPUTER, JUST AN EXTRA DUAL 1.8GHZ POWERMAC G5 WITHOUT THEM BILLING ME FOR IT. The person i spoke to said "Are you sure?" "Mind checking again?" As if she is practically telling me to take it because its not in there files lol. After her, I was transfered to a bunch of other people inwhich they laughed and said "wow" and questioned me about it. I admit I wanted to keep it, but i did the right thing instead. Tomorrow(Thursday dec 4th) I have to ship it out to apple with ups( at there expense ). For returning a computer of this worth ($2778 after tax and customization), I think apple should reward me. However I wasn't even given a "thank you" from the person that handled my situation.[color=Black]

| Wow! I would have kept it ... I think. The guilt would have gnawed at me, though. Still, I'm surprised they didn't at least thank you for your honesty.

| Something similar happened to me, when i ordered a Radiohead sweatshirt. I filled in the info on the page, and sent it. I immediately realized that I didn't actually give my street address, so i emailed them my complete details. Two sweatshirts arrived (a day after each other) - only billed for one. So, I gave the other one to my friend's g/f (hey, it cost 35pounds!) - since she switched me to a mac. :-> Thanks W.A.S.T.E.! hehe

| Sucker! No actually a very honorable thing to do. I would e-mail or contact someone at Apple and tell them what happened and how you didn't even get a thank you. In this case, I'd toot my horn about it, see what happens in response.
