starfighter's Profile

First, I stay away from the Apple On-Line store. I have had issues with them in terms of returning defective products and their deals are often the worse on the web. Also, no break on sales tax there. Second, the Apple Store in my local shopping center is a nice place to visit and the staff is reasonably well informed (but not superstar quality). I tend to buy accessories there since the Apple Store has a decent selection and I get to touch and feel the stuff before I buy. I also buy from other local Apple dealers, but their stores are pretty drab in comparison to the Apple Stores and they have less "stuff" to touch and feel. For larger value hardware purchases & for software I tend to buy on-line from some dealer (other than Apple). For hardware, I check out the prices and deals reported by [url=http://www.macprices.com]www.macprices.com[/url] first. For me, MacConnection, and MacWarehouse and have both been good places to purchase products.
