So it turns out too many people wanted to upgrade their old single-core Macs to better ones, meaning they ran out before they got around to filling the employee orders. So I got a refund and my Mom was like, “just order the best system you can”, so I pretty much did. Now the “PowerMac G5 Quad” (2×2.5 GHz dual-cores). I opted for the GeForce 7800 GT and Bluetooth/AirPort Extreme (802.11G). iWork for the kickass presentations and sweet document layout, and everyting else I bought 6 weeks 2 months ago for this fucker.

If I was getting it via regular retail channels, it would be here by the beginning of next week, but who knows about the employee thing.

C’est la discount, I guess.
