i7 iMac's no longer build to order - Available in stores

Sounds like quite a good thing to me, less wait when wanting to buy one surely?

online anyone can get an education discount by just clicking on a local school. in the store that can't be done without an id. the 27" i7 is 120 dollars less with edu discount. just some free food for thought.

Wow. 1989 is calling...

I used to think this same thing about banks. I liked going into them and talking to a teller. But every frackin time you ask a question they just say "Did you call the 800 number? or "you will need to call the 800 number for that" -- ugh.

What would be the worst case scenario? It shows up a day late? It gets lost and they have to send a new one?

There's something to be said for the lack of security of even banks nowadays...IMO, there's nothing wrong with not trusting online security. In the last few years, I've received more than a few letters from banks and online companies explaining that they've had a security breach and to follow certain procedures to see if I've been impacted. I still purchase online but I'm definitely more wary than I was a few years ago.
