iBust and iWasteGas was the reality for me today
Of course after hearing all the announcements today, I was excited to go to my nearest Apple store in Rancho Cucamonga and get my copy of iLife 08 (family pack), iWork 08(Family pack) and one of the new keyboards. Sure it was a cool $250.00 plus tax, but hey that’s part of the fun right?
So I diligently called my local Apple store and spoke with a live person. I specifically asked if they had the items above and was told “yes we have them.” Great, Mary and would be on our way. So what if it’s 28 Miles one way and gas is $3.22 per gallon. It’s all part of the fun, right?
Go to my local Apple store , and no they don’t have the keyboards yet, no they don’t have iLife 08 family packs, but they do have iWork 08 family packs. Was that all part of the fun. Nope, I got an iBust and an iWasteGas instead. Further more I could not even see one of the new iMacs or the new keyboards because they were not on display. They were selling them out of the back room ( I saw people buying them), but I could not see one or touch one. Too bad.
Apple really should get their retail store supply chain act together, so when they announce products that are “available today” the actually are.
Yes I can order them on the online-store. Yes, I know it was likely human error, and the folks at the Rancho Cucamonga store are good people. However, I’m just disappointed to be ready to give Apple my money and further promote their products only to bust out. OK, rant is over.
