The New iBookKin Jung:
I'm about the order a G4 and saw the same "special offer". But if you take
out the "free" mp3 player, there doesn't seem to be anything special about
it: The Epson 777i lists for $89 and a 128M PC133 SDRAM DIMM sells,
typically, for $70-80. The G4 "special" also mentions a USB cable, but I
don't usually pay $10-20 for a USB cable.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
(I suppose one could say that the "free" player isn't free, and then, if you
want an mp3 player, this would be a good deal. I'm just not used to
including "free" toys in my business decisions, especially when they don't
appear to be free).
