Apple? Do they have a reseller program? If they do it must not be any good, as I haven’t heard about it.

(I am now raising my right hand)

I will never sell the iPhone or the iTouch, and if I ever win one of these things, I will give it away to someone else.

My daughter had expressed an interest in the iPod, but daddy refused to buy her an iPod and even mommy had to intervene. I think it hit home because she told my 9 year old: ‘Daddy doesn’t make any money when we buy Apple products, but daddy makes money when we buy Microsoft products.’ Afterwards, my daughter approached me with the model of Zune she wanted, I ordered it from disti and we had it the next day. She is very happy with her Zune.
