Go to the apple store and set up the mac pro in each store to fold.
- tareqak 7y agoDoing that on your own would probably get you in trouble. However, if Apple chose to do it themselves, then it would be a both a good PR move and of possible help to humanity. Same goes for Microsoft and the Microsoft store, and every store that has computers running on idle (Best Buy, Office Depot, etc). Who can we tweet at?
- shrthnd 7y agoGenius idea!
- bookofjoe 7y agoWhenever I'm in an Apple Store or department, I bookmark my website and leave it on the screen. Every little bit helps when you're at the end of the long tail....
- luckylion 7y agoAnd, did you see increased traffic from Apple corporate networks?
- bookofjoe 7y agoNot that I noticed, alas.
- savoytruffle 7y agoThe public display computers even in Apple-owned retail stores aren't on the corporate VPN so they won't show a 17.x.x.x IPv4 address (or an Apple-owned IPv6). They will show whatever local ISP the store is using.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoMac Pro isn’t being sold in Apple stores. Made to order only.
- wrboyce 7y agoPerhaps so, but they certainly have demo units out. I saw one the other week in my local Apple Store.
- savoytruffle 7y agoSome Apple Stores in large cities are stocking the new Mac Pro. I don't know if they also carry a typical upgraded model, but that has sometimes been done in the past. The normal "stock" model is not very impressive and exists pretty much just as a baseline minimum price.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoHuh, The Verge was wrong then: https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/2/21161358/mac-pro-review-apple-display-xdr-adobe-hardware-software-price-video https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/2/21161358/mac-pro-review-ap... > the machines won’t be sold in the company’s retail stores
