Apple advice?

My iMac died a quiet death recently. Any tips for finding good Apple deals? Buying direct seems outrageously expensive...I'll take used, not the latest and shiniest, etc.

There's always eBay

My brother is an eBay ninja (he actually makes money on the side by buying things on eBay and then selling them there), and with his advice I have overseen the purchase of three Apple iBook G4's from there. (What can I say, once I got one all my friends wanted one). It's a gamble, it's far from a sure thing, but there are often shiny still-in-the-box Macs that are a model or two behind current that are more than usable.

eBay ninja advice: search for mispellings. The Aple powerrbooks go for real cheap.

PowerMax sometimes has good deals too.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
