CompUSA+Apple Promo Mailer
Did you guys get a CompUSA+Aple mailer in the mail? I got one today.
It reads:
"Bring this card into your local CompUSA and receive a special gift from Apple!"
I live about 20 min from a CompUSA in the KC area. Is it worth the drive for the "special gift"? Any ideas on what it is? A shirt? A Keychain? An iPod?

It's one of those little white stickers they had left over from all the unsold G4 Cubes.
Seriously though, I don't know. Drive there and find out, if its crud, go buy a 6-pack. It'll make up for it.
I was going to take it Circuit City so they could do a price match... but Circuit city dosnt have mac stuff no more I wonder if CompUSA will still honor the $99 base station?
<strong>According to the thing, they are also selling an Airport Card for $299 and a base station for $99....</strong><hr></blockquote>
That's weird. An Airport card is usually $99 and the base station is $299.
Are you sure they really bumped the price on the card up by $200? Would explain how they could knock the price on the base station down I guess but....

Too bad Circcuit City doesn't have Mac stuff anymore because it would be so cool if you got them to match the price.
<strong>They would surely call CompUSA to confirm.</strong><hr></blockquote>
There are a lot of idots who work at Circuit City, at least around here, so i was hoping... but i guess it dosnt matter seeing as they dont stock it anymore anyway.
a coffee mug! (got mine today)
Picked up a base station for $99 too!
(ok, I lied about one of the above statments...)

mmm...I think the coffee cup thing was the true statement.
<strong>Yup, a black plastic coffee mug. Are they serious? I really didn't care but I bet they had a lot of complaints. Apparently, according to the person who gave me the mug, everyone expected a Tshirt, as did I. Free advertising, something useful. Instead, a mug. I gave it back to the girl and said i didn't want it (it was the last one), and she practically begged me to take it, probably so she didn't have to give it to another Tshirt expecting customer. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> ..............................</strong><hr></blockquote>
What's wrong with a mug if it's free?
I'm at a loss for words...
<strong>Steve666 probably saw that it was made in China.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I assumed it would be. Its black plastic-I ain't gonna drink out of it-it could at least have been a regular mug. Actually, the flyer made it seem like it would be something decent, plus its a bit of a drive from my house, plus they didn't have an eMac on display. I didn't really react much when they gave it to me, I felt bad for them because they said alot of people were pissed about it. At least I got to see computer speakers that I plan on getting when I buy a new computer-nice looking silver and black Altec Lansings. Sweet......................
