Yep, they said my honesty astounded them, and as such I can keep it. I'm sure the £18k spend with them over the last 12 months had some bearing too.

Just got to decide what to do with it now, but I won't be keeping hold of it. I'll possibly donate it to charity.

That's nice to hear - A great result.

If you want to give to charity how about a little auction here and perhaps a slice towards the new server and the rest to Help For Heroes or something.  :party:

For a number of years I have worked very closely with a hospice based in Huddersfield so it will be going to them :innocent:

Is this something that the hospice will use? I don't mean that in a bad way don't get me wrong ; I have worked with a number of charities in the past and still do. Just wondered if cash raised by auctioning as someone else mentioned could be more useful?

Of course as you have been close to them or a long time you probably know already, just my thoughts as imagine could make a lot for it, especially as for such a good cause  :happy2:

I'll advise them of its value, and after that it's up to them. I can see them sticking it on eBay to be honest. Either way, I can't benefit from it, so I'm pleased that someone else will be able to.

Well, well, turn of events! After receiving the order I triple checked the order and also phoned Apple to make 100% sure we had not ordered the extra iPad. It was not listed anywhere on our account, something that was confirmed by one of their sales execs. However, we received our invoice today and they have charged us for it! Seems a weird error and no one at Apple can offer any explanation as to what happened. Upshot is that it's going back! Good job I hadn't given it away yet.

So I guess it depends how you want to interpret "modify"  :evilgrin:
