4. Outgrow the box metaphor.

If you guys are decent odds makers, I should feel pretty good about my chances with the whole to-do about the computer. The dude didn’t write me back after that last note, so I opened a case in eBay’s “Resolution Center,” where they promised me, “We’ve got you covered.”

So, fine. All’s well that ends the way I want it to, etc. But this leaves me with my original challenge: Finding an inexpensive, reliable iMac for my kids. My old first generation Powerbook Ti G4 couldn’t cut it. Makes me think I should get them a 17” Intel iMac like this one, but it’s more than I was hoping to spend. Moreover, I’ve never bought from this Gainsaver place and don’t want to waste more time on nonsense like what’s consumed today.

So, guys, where would you go if you were me?

  1. incorrigiblerobot answered: I only buy from real businesses on eBay now and with ratings in the 99.99% territory. That’s worked out pretty well. MacOfAllTrades?
  2. sblaufuss answered: Craig’s list. You can actually go look before you buy.
  3. hellnope answered: my friend bought her mac from gainsaver and hasn’t had a single problem with it if that helps.
  4. angelablack answered: In the toilet. I get in trouble whenever I go anywhere else.
