When emails mislead — Snow Leopard delay
I already had an order in for Snow Leopard at amazon, but it's not due until Monday. One way or another, I need it on Friday, so I can report on it over the weekend.
So I responded to this August 25th Apple email (“have it at your door Friday”). Apple doesn't usually screw up this badly, but after ordering, the news is that the order won’t arrive until “Sept 1 - Sept 5”, according to my order confirmation and an Apple representative. No apology from Apple on this, just a waste of my time. I don’t like being tricked like this, shame on Apple.
Update: reader Doug D tells me “Man do you sound like a sourpuss”. Yup. It will take me at least an hour roundtrip to drive to the Apple Store, wait in line. That’s one less hour of sleep for me!
