Mac Forum / General / Hardware / February 2006

Subject line says "now available" - Apple isn't shipping MBP until
February.

Mac & Mac Sales is a total and complete fraud! I don't understand ho
it's possible that they're still in "business." They're not listed wit
the BBB, they say they've been in business for 8 years but their domai
has only been registered for a few months, they're unreachable b
phone, and there are uncountable people who have reported being rippe
off by this so-called company (I was almost one of them).
