Well, DUH. What did you *think* they were going to say?

See above. Ask for the name and email or phone number of the person who 
got this dual 1.25GHz Mac for $1200. And if it's in the 407 area code, 
you can bet it's a Marbella employee lying to you.

Had you read my message, you would know. I referenced the discussion on 
O'Grady's Powerpage. However, I didn't explicity link to it, which I 
should have. So thanks for giving me the opportunity:

Be *sure* to read ALL the comments. Then you tell me if you think 
they're a ripoff.

My comment stands. Anyone who gives them $250 is a living definition of 
the phrase "a fool and his money."

See the URL above. All the horror stories you could want. Thank the 
heavens those dopes were brave enough to admit they'd been fooled and 
wrote in to warn others.
