Mac-Mini Test Drive

[[AK]Squidly]

Apple's offering a 30 day test drive on Mac-Minis. Basically you buy one online and are able to try it for 30 days. If you don't like it you can return it no questions asked.

When the first Macintosh was released back in the 80's a guy in our dorm did this. We all played around with it for a couple of weeks before he sent it back.

This is the same guy who called all the numbers on the back of products, telling them he was unsatisfied, scamming for free samples.

Didn't Last Long

"I just received an email from LinkShare, the people who handle Apple's affiliate program. Apple has apparently decided (in less that 24 hours) to stop the Test Drive promotion. They have given no explanation, and I have not seen any other details, but all references to the Test Drive have been removed from Apple's site, and all of the banners have suddenly become regular Mac Mini banners."

Here's the email from LinkShare:

As a follow-up to an email we sent you this morning, please note that the Mac mini Test Drive promotion is no longer offered at the Apple Store. We have dynamically updated the banners and landing pages for this promotion, so if you are featuring this promotion on your site, they will automatically update to another promotion. Please be sure to update your Mac mini Test Drive text links. The rest of the promotions featured in today's email are still live.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you,
Apple Store Affiliate Program
