Everyone be forewarned that this offer is a COMPLETE RIP OFF.

You will likely get a machine, but it will be at FULL PRICE *plus* tax 
*plus* the $250 deposit. There was a looong discussion about these guys 
on O'Grady's Powerpage.

In short: CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Apple is already moving to unplug these guys, and the Florida Attorney 
General has been contacted.

"That the PC world would doggedly stick to a dull, unimaginative, 
clinical term like 'IEEE 1394' (notice how it just rolls off the tongue 
- NOT) for the sole purpose of *saving a few pennies* over using an 
imaginative, exciting, visually-stimulating term like 'FireWire' tells 
you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about the PC world and that whole 
industry-wide mindset." - Me, March 2003
