Did any of you guys pay over $3K for a pc back in the early 90s? Boy do I feel dumb...I could have waited

. One can debate the technology pros/cons, loyal customer base, etc., but imo, this is simply marketing genius (whether by design or ???). The total cost of the rebate, and the "ill will" to those who have already purchased is trivial compared to the free advertising that the iPhone has recieved since it's announcement back in Jan (and this is just the latest thing to keep it visible in the media). I mean, how many threads have been on the iPhone here in PPOT? There is no such thing as bad publicity right now...just wait & see. Yes, I do have a vested interest, but am not an Applehead...
