The Monkey

Shouldn't we be calling tkam's The Menace Heavy (or The Heavy Menace)?

Which full-sized headphone(s) do you prefer?

Close, but I think leaving out the word "all" changes the whole ballgame. This one I wouldn't object to if clearing copy.

I object!

And they should be giving me free stuff.

I don't like to talk about my brief acting career.

Agreed, but then they shouldn't offer discounts at all. The 5% nonsense is insulting. Especially in this climate.

Dammit for us. Hopefully good for you and the family. Is it for a set period of time or open?

Ah, benevolent Apple looking out for us.

I get particularly cranky with Apple because their "discounts" are always so lame.

Yes, I think "from 5 to 25% off" is better. What was the full text of the ad you received?

heh, DACses.

No. But I like getting angry.

No it doesn't. As the advertiser, they are responsible for are reasonable consumer interpretations. It certainly is reasonable to interpret "Up to 25% off all macs" as the opportunity to save 25% on each mac in the lineup. Nate's post shows the deception at work here. It's bullshit and Apple shouldn't do it. More appropriate language would be "Up to 25% off selected Macs" or something like it.

Oh boy. If real, and each Mac model does not have the ability to be discounted 25% (maybe through a combo deal), then that "up to 25% on all macs" claim is false and misleading.

Bitch!

Yes. But the left earpiece is ever so slightly loose, so JHA advised that I get new impressions. They're very high on an audiologist in the area. But she's in NJ, and all that time and trouble is annoying, so I'm not getting them.

It's worse than that; I can just send my UE5c.

Right. Just remember that one does not serve wine "on the rocks."

Happy day sir!

Dammit.
