This morning something very interesting happened. I felt bad. Though I wasn’t sure I should have. As I was hanging out in a computer lab at school, I overheard someone (who was yelling) say that he just bought a *brand new* Apple iMac G5<\/a> on Amazon.com<\/a> for $110. As fast as I could, I surfed on over to Amazon.com to see for myself if his claim was true. It turns out that it was, and just as I pressed the purchase button, they were out of stock. Now, he got the totally souped up one with a 20 inch screen, 1.8 gig CPU, 160 gig hard drive, 512 ram, etc. I decided I didn’t need all these features, so I tried for the one 2 steps down the ladder. Surprisingly, Amazon.com let me buy the computer for $110. I was dumbfounded. Who sells a computer that isn’t even out yet for $110? Then I started to feel really bad. I guess I shouldn’t care that I swindled Amazon. They’re a huge company who can afford to lose $1000 on an item. I’m a poor college student who would love to have a new iMac. Still, it didn’t feel good.<\/p>\n

As the day went on, my bad feelings were able to subside. This evening I got an email from Amazon saying that a mistake had been made, and they are unable to sell the computer at that price. Damn! Now I’m mad…despite the feeling that I felt bad this morning. The computer is now $1294…<\/p>\n

Wow…I’m tired…this was going to be a really good update. Sorry to disappoint. Must come back again later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
