It’s good to hear this story. I’m glad Jack posted it. Makes it sound like Apple is showing it’s customers a little loyalty instead of just expecting loyalty from us. Even if they are stiffing me on a warranty claim right now...
Jack, one big difference between using credit and using cash is it’s a lot easier just to hand over a credit card than it is to hand over cash. For most people anyway, there’s a little bit of pain you feel when you hand over cash that’s just not there for a credit card. What I do to simulate some pain for my use of credit cards is I go into the mint,com credit card web site and make sure all my purchases are “categorized” correctly so that t least I know where my money went. I’m not terribly crazy about the software on mint.com though and having been thinking about looking t other software options.
Don’t know if you wanna do something like that or not. But it works for me.
Best of luck on getting that house!
