one of the nerds at work informed me if you go online to apple.com, go to the refurbished mac's, you can get one for half priced. he said that they are brand new. that apple is always redesigning etc and it can be the smallest of small things that changed so they take all the old stuff out and sell "refurbished" to make room for the brand new. majority of the peeps at work purchased their macs that way.

anyway those were words from a nerd not me. lol
