If you follow the comments on my post about buying a laptop, you’ll find that Michael Hall recommended a good deal from Powermax, a Mac reseller. I then ordered it and discovered that the iBook in question had already been bought but not updated on the website.

They wrote back to tell me this late Sunday night and gave some other options, all of which were similar, but ultimately more expensive in that I still would have to buy an airport and memory upgrade. Thus, I cancelled my order via email.

Owing to the fact that I wanted to make abolutely sure that my cancellation was received (or more to the point, that my credit card was not charged), I called them this morning. It turned out that they were willing to upgrade one of their other laptops and sell it to me at the same price as I was going to pay earlier.

Very cool.
