To tell the sales folks that I won't be buying any Apple products for a year. Educators love Apple products and Apple invests millions into getting Apple products into the schools.
If you don't own an Apple product, call 1-800-692-7753, and tie up the sales staff for a few minutes NOW
.
Lots of us here do own Macs, please let Apple know how we feel.
Here's how my call went:
I spoke to a very nice and helpful sales rep who put me on to the supervisor. I explained that I'm a proud and happy owner of 4 Apple products and have owned Macs for about a decade. I stressed how happy I am with Apple, their service and their products; and then dropped the bomb:
If Disney/ABC goes ahead and shows this defamatory program, I won't be buying any Apple products for one year.
It hit the supervisor like a ton of bricks. Hadn't heard a thing about it. Low level, no comment, pass it on right away to higher ups. Guaranteed this will go straight to Steve Jobs.
Sales politely and repeatedly tried to get me to contact corporate or ABC. Sorry.
I explained that I was calling Apple Store so I could tie up Apple sales staff and prevent them from taking calls from customers.
There are an awful lot of Apple owners and potential owners.
And tying up their 1-800-692-7753 number won't cost you a nickel. It cost me quite a bit more calling from outside the US. But that's nothing compared to the money I'm goint to save from not purchasing I-Tunes, software updates and all other Apple products over the next year.
PLEASE CALL 1-800-692-7753 NOW
And tell them politely what you think about the 9/11 travesty and Apple's part in it.
I'm crap with Photo-shop so anyone who can come-up with appropriate images please help out.
Apple is a brand that cannot take this kind of hit or be linked to fascist, pro-war propaganda and survive.
