No matter how desperate I am for a product, I'll never get a refurbished one.

Then you have no experience with Apple Refurbs. They are fully warrantied for 1 yr. Are Apple Care Eligible, and in LN condition.

My MP 2.8 Early 2008 was a refurb almost 4.5 years ago. It has run virtually 24-7 since Oct 2008. I've owned refurbished iPhones, iPods, iMacs. In fact the only new Macs I've owned are my Notebooks.

So educate yourself on Apple Refurbs. It aint "Geek Squad". :apple:

What's wrong with saving a little money on a refurbished product? It's not the same as buying used

Sounds good until you consider the $2400 you'll pay to be shackled to AT&T for 2 years.

You can save that and even more by not using any phone!

Why not stop eating too?

Big expense!

Bought a refurb 4 for my wife, couple years ago... Like typical Apple refurbs, it came in perfect condition. Kinda bummed we already bought 5's, because I'd have no problem doing this again.
