FYI ...

Amazon is selling the 8-core iMac Pro for $500 off

The 27-inch iMac Pro is currently Apple's best desktop Mac, and
this deal saves you some cash on all that power.

the-8-core-i mac-pro-for-500-off.html

The problem with these deals (there was another one elsewhere
with upto $1000 off iMac Pro) is that they usually only apply to
off-the-shelf models. You can't get a custom-build Mac at a
cheaper pricing, which given the impossibility of later upgrading
almost all the current Mac models, means it's a pain in the
backside and somewhat pointless. :-(

It's the same problem with the "10% off Mac" sales we sometimes
get at various resellers here in New Zealand.

The same thing applies for special reduced prices on various
software bundles offered on TechDirt, BoingBoing, and MacUpdate.
You get *that version* of the software with no ability to upgrade.
I paid $17 for Crosssover 17 on TechDirt but in order to upgrade
to the latest version (17.01), Codeweavers wanted me to buy
upgrade at $35. I so rarely use it that I'll stick with what I
have. Other packages have similar deals when offered in site
"bundles". You get what you pay for, in hardware and software.


Just so you both know, you're being catfished by the OP. Not for a
date mind you, but for a demonstration of your technical knowledge.
If he decides that you have enough for online stalking purposes, he
may attempt to recruit you to assist him in 'hunting down bad guys'

I'd advise both of you to visit this link before further interaction
with him. It may save you some time and aggravation down the road.
Make no mistake, providing him any personal information about
yourself is NOT in your best interests.
