When our friend John Park (understandingmaya.com) maxed out his Apple Store shopping cart recently he recalls a "very eager sales guy from Apple called my home and wanted to know if there is any way he could help out with my "purchase".

Well. It's good to know there are live bodies at Apple's online store looking out for our 'needs'...wonder if that 5th digit on the total is the trigger to get a 'real-live-human-personal-shopping-assistant'?

Update: To answer a few emails about this post, yes John managed to get the cost of ONE Power Mac G5 w/Display up to 15k. Impressive.
