Apple apparently doing a 2 for 1 deal on Macbooks (once, at least...)

so call Apple, and get suggest a 32GB iPod Touch...

Aw c'mon, that's one step above the folks who find cell phones and demand money for their return. Not a very large step, at that.
I was trying to imply by doing the right thing; calling Apple, and being genuine about making things right by Apple, Apple being the gracious megalith *might* be inclined to drop some holiday bling on Kiva/bro/niece for the stand up... and to maybe be prepared to help the cause by preparing a bit before causing the cause. I'm saying invest in good karma, then appreciate any rewards that come from it, I don't mean to "suggest" that anything be demanded, I meant that after the part of the conversation of the well prepared call got to the point of the gracious Apple person asking if there was anything else they could do, that would be the time to "suggest" the pod thing... I was trying to keep the reply on the order of the poll choices and the "times are tight...:-)" (etc.) lines from the post.

RgrF makes a good point, in part illustrated by my "free" chair- the owner of the distribution company checked to make sure that everything was done properly at his end, and that the screw up was at the shipping warehouse, and sometimes it's easier to let something fall through the cracks than to deal w/ the repercussions of assigning blame... that's why I "suggested" looking to the other people in the loop before calling Apple, to hopefully get a better picture of what type of goof caused the double shipment. clearly the second MacBook should not be kept, or profited from w/o Apple's blessing... so I figured the thread was about how to best get Apple's blessing...?
