Ordered my iMac and all that arrived was...

ca9phoenix · 27 Aug 2008 at 20:17

Here is what my desk looks like at the moment......

Notice the distinct lack of a 24'' iMac there!

apple decided my credit card wasn't good enough and canceled my order 3 days after saying it had been accepted. (it's empty and the credit limit is double the cost of the iMac)

However my 4gb of upgrade memory has arrived today sadly there's nothing to put it in

(for anyone that's bothered i'm just reinstalling a friends pc.)

naww don't give a monkeys TBH but that ram sure does look sexy

bet you wish you had something to put it in hey ?

Harsh.

ca9phoenix · 27 Aug 2008 at 21:08

it's not so bad. Just found out there's a store just opened in town that sells nothing but apple so I'll just go and order one from there.

Gman · 27 Aug 2008 at 21:11

that the electrical store or are you off to the greengrocer

?

ca9phoenix · 27 Aug 2008 at 21:20

I think the owner is called granny smith

Looking at that desk, you sure do need an imac!

That sucks dude, but I gotta say something.

When the iMac does arrive, it better be the only thing on the desk along with keyboard/mouse.

Us Apple heads are minimalists, clear that crap up.

that's actualy my dining room table. I'm in the process of gutting the upstairs of my house. Then it will have a nice desk and room all to it self.

Bod · 28 Aug 2008 at 13:55

Gutted for you

Did they give a reaspon why it was declined?

ca9phoenix · 28 Aug 2008 at 22:37

it turns out the muppets charged me for two at the same time which I couldn't afford then tried again and generaly messed the order up. I'm going into the store in town tomorrow and ordering one paying with chip and pin. Surely they can't mess that up!

Grimgoth · 29 Aug 2008 at 10:59

so did you actually get charged for the ram? as assuming that it was on the same order that got charged twice?

Doug · 29 Aug 2008 at 17:59

The ram came from somewhere else, I'm betting

ca9phoenix · 29 Aug 2008 at 20:12

yes the ram came from elseware, i went out and purchased a 2.8 24'' one today and am more than happy with the performance

ca9phoenix · 29 Aug 2008 at 20:40

Talbs13 · 29 Aug 2008 at 21:00

It's a toilet roll with something in the middle of it (or at least that's what it looks like).

Looks like one of those sticky fluff remover things to me.
