I have successfully acquired a Laptop without having to support APPLE!
& get this: ITS NOT A PC.
I spent 1/20th of the price I would have spent if I had bought a brand new MacBook Pro. Great for my pocket. :}
I am happily supporting Toronto’s local economy by giving my money to a small business and am supporting a local artist by buying her old computer.
Not to mention saving a perfectly good piece of technology from the Landfills.
Oh! This makes my heart soar! The anti-consumer inside me lives another day.
I don’t have to support a company with what I consider to be good-quality hardware, but b-a-d morality. Arisetotrash’s eco-karma has not been tainted by digital necessity.
