How to Return a Single 1.8 Ghz G5

I was able to return the single 1.8 Ghz G5 that I purchased on the "Night of Panther" (October 24th). Since I bought the G5 at a retail Apple Store, I got a Pro Card (I think that was the name). The Pro Card offers a 30-day return policy with no restocking fees. Since I was within that period, I was able to return the computer with no questions asked.

    How do returns work through Apple's online store?

    I think the 30-day return policy only applies to Power Card holders and I believe that the Power Cards are only available to customers who purchased a G5 at a retail Apple Store. I don't think that the cards were offered with online purchases. It wouldn't hurt to call Apple and see what your options are.

    I checked and the card is actually called a Pro Card. You can learn more about the program here:

    How about the guys who bought iMacs 2 months ago?



    Or the guys who had a month or two old PowerBooks before the last refresh? Deal with it.



    Waa waa.



    You own a freaking G5. You are SOOOO hard up. It's still a monster, dude.

    Hey, have some compassion. They're "monster" practically doubled in performance! (okay not exactly but you know what I mean).

    Most who purchase expect to lose a couple hundred megahertz in time, but not a freakin' processor!

    Yeah, I guess you're right. My dual 867 was only "new" for a couple of months, my PC was new for about a week



    It's just technology. I was going through old emails today and found one from Apple dated September 9:



    "The new iMac. Upgrade now."



    And now 2 months later you can get a 20"...

    Anyone who is unhappy with their single 1.8 G5, send it my way! I can't pay much, but since your unhappy than you probably won't charge much, right?
