    Isn't that a coincidence and not an irony? Irony would be like a magazine beside it saying "Computers are teh DOOM!!!"

    irony 1 |ˈīrənē; ˈiərnē|
    noun ( pl. -nies)
    • a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result

    I'd say it's bang on! :)

    It's even better that you first read the large words "BEST UPGRADE", then look to the right at the Mac, and then look back and read "For Your Buck". :D

    It says "best upgrade for your buck", so I'm not exactly seeing it. Funny coincidence though, unless someone put them like that on purpose. The moral of the story is, don't use arrows. :rolleyes:
