I don't think Apple wants to hear how I was promised a Macbook as down payment for a freelance job and how the client was disappointed that I didn't work fast enough so he started screaming at me on the phone and brought me to court to get his down payment back. But when I got to court, with the macbook packed and ready to go back because I didn't want to argue, he didn't show and by default in Sweden if the other person doesn't show you win the case so it became mine. It later became my mothers for a few years before I gave her a better one and now it gathers dust at my sisters I believe. :)
Edit: I think the story of how my first boss in IT got his first Apple is much more positive. I'm not sure if it was a Mac or an Apple but he went into a computer store and saw two computers on display. One had DOS running, which as we all know is just a blinking white cursor at a prompt, and the other had a graphical desktop, with a mouse. He's not an apple person but he told me "obviously I wanted the Apple".
