It looks like Core has resorted to SPAM...

Are there other people out there getting the mail?
 
yeah, i got it on my gmail account about the ipods.....
not like they would likely have stock or return my call if i wanted one anyway
 
the reason I ask is cause people who have never bought apple products or anything Core related... Almost every person in my family got the email...
 
Also checked and I got spam from them as well.
Something about back to school deals on Feb 6 and the opening of a new store which was sent on Feb 9.

I have never bought anything from them at all.

My eMac was bought through a private deal(2nd hand).
 
Yup, got it all...

It makes perfect sense for Core to ignore my attempts to GIVE THEM MY MONEY (by asking for upgrade quotes, which I will never get), and instead spam me with cr*p I have no interest in.

Sorry to side track the subject..... yes I also got the Valentines day email, but is there some sort of upgrade/trade-up option on old Macs if one day I got tired of my Macbook PRO and wanted a newer model ?

or
2. Sell it on gumtree.

I was trying to get pricing on having the iStore (run by Core) upgrade a harddrive in my MBP, so I wouldn't loose the warranty. I'm still waiting, so I just did it myself.

Officially:
You will not lose warranty on the following parts that you replace yourself.
1. RAM
2. HDD
Fin.

HDD, in an early 08 MBP, where you have to open the case? Do you have an official source?

I was a techie at one of the iStore's.
If you break anything whilst replacing anything your warranty expires so if you dont feel up to the job or are unsure rather get somebody who knows to do it for you.

Good to know, thanks. It was a straightforward job - hardest part was getting the 2 philips screws in the battery compartment out and back in - not a lot of room there, and they're tiny.
