Well, Now I've Gone And Done It! Date: August 25, 2006 12:00PM |
Referencing this post from yesterday
[forums.macresource.com]
I just placed the order for a 2.0ghz Intel 20" Dual Core iMac. I think I'm going to forget the migration and just start from scratch. I always keep all of my installers on another drive so it'll be a little more work but I'll have a fresh install of OSX to work with. They say 5-7 days to ship, but maybe I'll get lucky. Any one know why I get charged an $8.00 recycling fee when I'm not recycling my old computer?
Please hold all "Leaders" until I take possession.

Good question jdc. Yesterday's must have been an "early 2006" and today's is a "mid 2006". There seems to a distinction between the 2 but I don't know exactly what that is. Yesterday's was $1299 and today it is $1399. Unless they just raised the price $100, but in the support pages it is listed as 2 different models.
Here's where I found it and there 2 different manuals

The "iMac (Mid 2006)" is the 17" education model, with the 950 integrated video chipset.
And I bet I get my PB12 replacement battery from Apple in less than 4-6 weeks.
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive
An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.
You make me pull, I'll put you down.
I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

It still doesn't explain why the 20" was $1299 on Thursday and $1399 on Friday.
