Buy refurbs from smalldog.com. I've purchased from them twice and their service is great. The refurbs are fully warranted and you can purchase AppleCare for them (a must for serious computerists).
True enough (great service/prices), but Good Grief, is that guy a left wingnut or what?
"The refurbs are fully warranted and you can purchase AppleCare for them (a must for serious computerists)."
Better yet, take a class and learn how to take care of your PC. Then you can dispense with the AppleCare and enjoy a platform that can run Windows, Novell, Linux, Unix, and etc. as opposed to being an Apple Zombie.
Apples are great computers, no doubt. But they have EVERYTHING in common with Betamax when it comes time to do anything with them.
