Don't Delay-- Call Now (6/1/99)

So we were so fixated on checking last Sunday's Sears circular to see how they'd handle the debut of the iMac in their 800 stores (they, uh, didn't-- but we're told the official introduction has been pushed forward 'til next week) that we completely forgot to check the CompUSA circular. Typically it's a painful weekly process, seeing the iMac relegated to a tiny portion of page five sandwiched between two cheaper Wintel systems, if indeed it appears at all. But wouldn't you know it: the week we forget to check is the week that CompUSA reportedly runs a very attractive iMac bundling special. Maybe we should forget to check more often.
According to a Mac OS Planet article, this week's CompUSA special bundles together a new iMac/333 (none of those older clearance models in this bundle, nosiree) and one of those cool new Epson Stylus 740i color inkjet printers (the ones with the funky translucent iMac-style cases). Together, they form a home computer system that's as easy on the eyes as it is easy to use-- a wonderful accent to any room in your choice of colors. How much would you pay for this great bundle? Two thousand dollars? Three thousand? Don't answer yet, because there's more! CompUSA is also throwing in what seems to be the de facto standard scanner for the iMac, the Umax Astra 1220U, perfect for all your home scanning needs. Email photos of the kids to far-flung family members. Scan in embarrassing body parts at three in the morning when you're up to raid the fridge. Now how much would you pay?
Hold onto your hats, folks, because this powerful and easy-to-use system can be yours for only $1499. Don't delay, because this special offer is going fast. Run, don't walk, to your nearest CompUSA superstore and bring home an iMac today-- because iMacs aren't available via the Home Shopping Network. Yet.

 | | The above scene was taken from the 6/1/99 episode: June 1, 1999: Yet another analyst has jumped on the Apple bandwagon. Meanwhile, CompUSA makes you an offer you can't refuse, and "Redmond Justice" resumes transmission with a battle of dueling economists...
Other scenes from that episode: 1571: Another One On Board (6/1/99) See? Wall Street may take a while to catch on, but they're finally taking notice of Apple. Yet another analyst has raised his rating on Apple's stock; this time it's Richard Gardner of Salomon Smith Barney, who, according to a Mac Observer article, just upped his "neutral" rating to a "buy," citing strong iMac sales and other signs of health and growth... 1573: It's Good To Be Back (6/1/99) Ahhhh... Feel that? It's like a cool breeze on a hot summer day-- brought to you courtesy of "Redmond Justice." That's right, the drama's back in the swing of things, and just because the trial resumed with the rebuttal testimony of an economist is no reason to think that the proceedings weren't interesting...
